MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.18

MOTION: Councillor N. Fennell

"That this committee agrees to the installation of bus shelter facilities immediately closest and serving the communities at Backweston, Tupper Lane and Hallwell, as part of the NTA's new contractual arrangement and direct funding to each local authority, in determining the need and location for such shelters, as part of the Bus Shelter Enhancement Programme 2025."

REPORT:

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has allocated funding under the Bus Stop Enhancement Programme (BSEP). South Dublin County Council’s Traffic Section is currently preparing a funding application under this programme.

The BSEP funding is intended to support the enhancement of existing bus stop infrastructure including where possible the installation of Bus Shelters.  It’s important to note that the installation of bus shelters is managed directly by the NTA through their appointed bus shelter contractor.

The 2no. newly installed bus stops on the R403 serving the communities at Backweston, Tupper Lane, and Hallwell have been included in the Council’s bus stop enhancement priority list. These locations are being recommended for Bus Shelter installations. The final programme for 2025 will be subject to NTA approval.
