MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 28, 2025

MOTION NO.3

MOTION: Councillor C. Brady

This committee calls on the manager to consider identifying a location within the LPNC area for the trial phase of the Quiet Streets Program, for example where the selection criteria would include roads in estates who experience significant through traffic.

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council has presented proposals for Quite Street Programme.

The Quiet Streets Programme is intended to work with residents to design their streets with a focus on people rather than vehicles. They create spaces where residents can safely walk, cycle and wheel, streets where children can play and residents can come together, where air quality and biodiversity are increased, and noise pollution is reduced. Versions of these have been implemented in DCC and DLR and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods have existed in London since the 1970s.

This programme will be developed for local secondary and tertiary roads with a more detailed implementation criteria such as used in neighbouring authorities and guidance documents. Any potential and suitable locations for a pilot street will be considered for inclusion.
