Cathaoirleach's Business

This committee calls on the Chief Executive to include a headed item to report on the funding set aside for the Lucan Local Transportation Plan, including scope, progress to date, timelines for delivery, and whether community consultation will form part of the process.

REPORT:

There is a budget set aside for Local Transportation Plans of €300,000 in the Capital Programme 2025-2027.  This budget allocation is meant for a number of Transportation studies in the County at congestion hotspots throughout the county, Lucan being one of them. 

Transport consultants will be appointed for the various transportation studies under a tendering process. The NTA Framework for the appointment of Traffic Consultants will be used to procure a competent consultant.  

A detailed scoping of the needs for Lucan will analysed with the appointed Traffic Design Consultant.  The final report of the Transportation Plan must contain practical and implementable measures to help mitigate the traffic issues being experienced in Lucan and the surrounding areas.

Timelines:  The procurement of consultants will be conducted from now to end of January 2026.  A detailed scope and delivery milestones will be developed with the appointed consultant, and these timelines will circulated as soon as they are known.

A public consultation process will be included as part of developing preferred options for transport and movement interventions in Lucan Village and the surrounding urban areas.
