MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.19

MOTION: Councillor H. Farrell

To ask the Manager to meet a number of local representative groups in Lucan village (such as the Lucan Taxi drivers, etc.) at the earliest opportunity, to discuss the planned changes to the road layout especially around the village green, where amongst other changes, two lanes are being reduced to one for circa 20m travelling South. While I acknowledge full PP has been granted for the works, it is only now that the true impact on traffic flow becoming apparent to many people, and there is great concern that the planned changes will negatively impact an already congested village, and impact negatively on local businesses in terms of customer footfall as a result.

REPORT:

A meeting has been arranged with taxi drivers who are frequent users of the taxi rank in Lucan with the purpose of providing information on the proposed layout of the taxi rank. 

On approach to the traffic signals on the Adamstown Road, adjacent to the Village Green, two lanes are provided for cars to queue at the traffic signals. This road width will be maintained as far as the proposed pedestrian crossing linking the Village Green to the footway near Carroll’s.

The bus stop at Carroll’s will be moved south of the proposed pedestrian crossing so as not to block the view of the pedestrian crossing. This stop serves the local L52 service towards Adamstown Station, it is currently scheduled to one bus per hour.
