A public consultation has been launched by Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for Phase 4A of the Stillorgan Village Urban Framework Plan.

This consultation, which began yesterday (May 21), will help inform the scheme design and will run until 12pm on June 18.

The main features of this phase of the scheme include:

• Maximising the available public realm space by increasing landscaped areas and planting trees to create a tree lined avenue on the approach to Stillorgan village.

• Improving the existing pavements, upgrading street furniture (public lighting, signs, etc) and enhancing of existing features.

• Reallocating road space to pedestrians, through the removal of the existing wall along North-East of Old Dublin Road and construction of a new continuous footpath.

• Installing a new pedestrian crossing at the entrance to Stillorgan College of Further Education.

• Upgrading the existing pedestrian crossing adjacent to the bus stops at Stillorgan Shopping Centre to improve connectivity.

• Relocating ESB poles where possible, undergrounding overhead cables, installing ducting and associated drainage works.

The scheme is hoped to increase the connectivity and village appearance while also improving the performance of the road network for pedestrians, cyclists and all road users.

During Phase 4A, traffic management will be set in place for the duration of the works but some disruption will occur. Local arrangements will be put in place with residents and businesses to ensure access to properties during the works.

Submissions and observations can be made:

• Via written submission to Senior Engineer, Traffic and Road Safety Section, Infrastructure and Climate Change Department, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Marine Road, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, A96 K6C9;

• Submitted via the online survey.

Submissions or observations should be clearly marked 'Stillorgan Village Urban Framework Plan – Phase 4A'. 

Previously, under Phase 1 and 2 of the Stillorgan Village Urban Framework Plan, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council undertook works to upgrade the section of Lower Kilmacud Road from the junction with South Avenue to the access road to Kilmacud Crokes GAA club.
