MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor A. Hayes

To ask the Manager if they can consider utilising any of the laneways in Palmerstown as part of the Active Travel and safe routes to school, as was part of the initial proposal presented to the Palmerstown primary schools.

REPLY:

As part of the Palmerstown active travel and safe routes to school scheme it was proposed to provide a walkway across The Oval green area along the boundary of St. Lorcan's Boys National School. This location is not in the ownership or charge of the Council and agreement could not be reached to provide the walkway across the green as proposed in the scheme. A slightly longer (1 to 2 minute extra walking time) footpath exists providing connectivity for pedestrians around The Oval green area.
