Getting Pedestrian Crossing Installed - How is it Achieved?

I'm just wondering what the criteria are for installing pedestrian lights and how people would go about it.

It's brought about, specifically, by the junction of Parnell Street and Jervis Street where many people frequently cross to get to Cineworld. There would ofteen be ten or fiteen people darting across the road to get to the cinema, looking for a break in the traffic and, if it's not available, weaving through stalled cars. It's an accident waiting to happen.

I accept that there's a pedestrian crossing further down the road, but that doesn't prevent the volume of pedestrian traffic here. Given there's already traffic lights at this junction, is it significantly difficult to get them upgraded to include a pedestrian crossing?

There is a procedure stated on www.dublincity.ie

In practice, ask a councillor or the area engineer.
