MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor P. Kearns

That this committee requests that the utility boxes in the Orwell area D6w are included in the street canvas programme.

REPORT:

The proposed locations for the traffic light control boxes should be submitted to both the Environmental Awareness Section and the Roads Department for review. Please email the specific locations of interest to envawareness@sdublincoco.ie

If the Roads Department considers the suggested sites to be suitable, they will be added to the database of existing boxes. Should funding be approved for this project in 2026, a selection panel will then review all eligible locations for inclusion in the Dublin Canvas Project.

Please note that other utility boxes, such as ESB units, cannot be considered for this project without the express permission of the utility owner. Due to the presence of live electrical infrastructure in some of these boxes, utility companies will not grant permission for them to be painted or cleaned/removal of graffiti by SDCC.
