MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE 2

Monday, September 25, 2006

QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor K. Warren

"To ask the Manager if he would consider providing extra road space to the existing filter lane at the junctions of the Old Bawn Road and the Tallaght By-Pass as it would help traffic coming from St. Maelruan's/Watergate who want to make left turning movements onto the Tallaght By-Pass thereby reducing the congestion on the Old Bawn Road and if he will make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

The left-turning filter lane at this location was extended to the maximum feasible distance in recent years. In view of the high cost of service relocation  and limited extra roadspace which might be achieved, further extension is not recommended at the present time.
