Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council is proposing to implement road safety measures on Grove Avenue, Blackrock between Talbot Lodge entrance and Avoca Road junction.

The proposed scheme is being undertaken to address road safety issues on Grove Avenue including the entrance to Talbot Lodge estate where the visibility for vehicles exiting Talbot Lodge is restricted to the left by an earth bank and a line of trees. The scheme also  addresses safety issues for pedestrians and cyclists by reducing traffic speeds along this section of road and also providing an uncontrolled raised crossing point for pedestrians to access the footpath on the East side of Grove Avenue.

The scheme provides for the construction of two mini roundabouts on Grove Avenue at the Avoca Road junction and at the Talbot Lodge entrance.

An uncontrolled raised platform will also be provided on Grove Avenue to reduce vehicle speeds and provide a crossing point for pedestrians to the footpath opposite.

The scheme is designed to significantly improve road safety for all road users on Grove Avenue.

Plans illustrating the above scheme will be on display from Wednesday 26th February, 2013 to Wednesday 27th March, 2013 at Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, County Hall, Marine Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co.Dublin and also in Blackrock and Stillorgan libraries.

Plans are also available to download on Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown’s website:-www.dlrcoco.ie
