QUESTION NO.21

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This committee requests an update from the Chief Executive regarding the progress of the permeability projects for both the Esker Embankment and The Paddocks and Hillcrest areas. We ask that a presentation on these items be provided at the earliest opportunity.

REPLY:

The Esker Permeability Scheme is proposed to provide a link along the north of Moy Glas and the South of Castle Riada between Griffen Road and the R136. It is intended that such a scheme provide a suitable link for all active travel users and modes in the surrounding area.

The active travel section is preparing a preliminary design which it is hoped to present to Members next year. As part of preparation of a preliminary design, it is intended to carry out a survey of this area in the coming months.

There is an existing gap in the boundary between the Paddocks and Hilcrest and a trail is visible in the grass. A project will be considered as soon as The Paddocks is taken in charge of South Dublin County Council.
