“That the Chief Executive report on what action the Council is taking to ensure that the following recommendation from the Baldoyle Stapolin Local Area Plan South Fingal traffic report is implemented:

Grange Road / Baldoyle Industrial Estate Junction Upgrade
The analysis undertaken indicates that the capacity issues at the junction are primarily due to the volume of right turning vehicles from Grange Road (west) to the Baldoyle Industrial Estate in the AM Peak. Despite a substantial allocation of green time to this movement, a single right turn traffic lane cannot cater for this forecast volume of right turning vehicles.

Therefore it is recommended that an upgrade to the junction be explored which comprises the addition of a second right turn lane from Grange Road (west) and an additional southbound traffic lane on Grange Avenue into the Industrial Estate. This will significantly increase capacity for the right turn movement and will also improve the capacity for other movements at the junction by reallocating available signal green time.”

The attached motion in the name of Councillor C. O’Callaghan was proposed by Councillor C. O’Callaghan, seconded by Councillor K. Redmond.

The attached report by the Chief Executive was READ and following discussion the report was NOTED.
