MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 25, 2025

MOTION NO.13

MOTION: Councillor C. Brady

That this committee agrees that the footpath issues in Lucan Village are a priority and calls on the manager to ensure this need is incorporated into any future plans for the village and consequently prioritised for funding.

REPORT:

A pavement repair can be done on Lucan Main Street but I am reluctant to undertake such a scheme as this will be very costly but not provide a comprehensive solution to the issues being faced on Main Street.

To resolve the issues on Main St and maximise the areas potential a much more significant scheme would need to be undertaken that may include major alterations to levels and crossfalls on the path. To do such a scheme we would want to include the whole of Lucan Main Street within the project scope and the project may recommend the removal of some of the on street parking and mature trees along this stretch of road. A project of such impact would need Part VIII approval but would provide a better long term streetscape for the community.

Unfortunately there is no resource currently available to undertake such a large project.
