"That the Chief Executive give an update on the new junction at Knocklyon Shopping Centre. It was supposed to facilitate cyclists but there's no cycle path and one section is so far out on the T-junction that cars turning right keep hitting it."
"That this Committee, noting the significant works underway and plans for further development of new residential units in the Greenhills/Walkinstown area, and the pressures put on the local physical and social infrastructure, asks for a report on planning applications including residential units (i) recently delivered, (ii) approved and (iii) lodged but not decided upon in that area, including the number of residential units and the development levies due. That this Committee notes the importance of returning a significant proportion of those development levies to improve the infrastructure in the Greenhills/Walkinstown area and calls on the Chief Executive to ensure that local improvements are prioritised in the upcoming Council budget."
Transportation
Questions
"It was formally agreed by the Council in March this year to extinguish the pedestrian right of way between Wood Dale Crescent and Parklands Road. The extinguishment was to be effected by means of railing. When can we expect these works to be carried out?"
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the Greenhills/Ballymount/Robinhood Road Reconfiguration Scheme, including works done and planned works, including timelines; and to make a statement on the matter?"
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update in relation to the progress and timescales for agreed road markings for the Rathfarnham ward for 2016?"

"That the Chief Executive give an update on the review of the Walkinstown Roundabout. An update of Dublin bus' submission would be appreciated. I have serious concerns regarding the plans for this Roundabout and would like assurances that works on Walkinstown Roundabout will not commence without the Member's prior approval"
"That this Committee calls for an 'Area Based Transport Assessment for Forward Planning' to deal with increasing traffic volumes on Edmondstown Road, Whitechurch Road, Stocking Lane, Ballycullen Road and Old Court Road as a result of housing development on the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. As these lands are not subject to an LAP there has been no 'Area Based Transport Assessment For Forward Planning' which are provided for the NRA Traffic and Transport Assessment Guidelines."
"That the Chief Executive consider installing a gate to close off the laneway at the rear of Glenmore Court and Whitechurch Walk. This is the only laneway in the locality which is not currently gated."
"That the Chief Executive investigate the possibility of installing extra lighting on the walkway from Rossmore to the Templeogue road past St Michaels house. In recent years this area has become a litter black spot and is also quite intimidating for pedestrians on dark winter evenings."
"That the Chief Executive give a report on the traffic management plans for the Stocking Lane/Ballycullen Road area given the population explosion in the area. Even before additional new estates are built traffic in the area is at a standstill in the morning and something needs to be done immediately to deal with the situation."
"That this Committee writes to ESB Networks to ask for a report on housing estates in the area under the remit of this Committee which retain overground power lines; and to ask if it is planned to put these wires underground given the visual issues, difficulties around trees, and potential safety concerns."
I understand that the lamp bulb replacement project has been extended to include Muckross Avenue. Can details be given on the plan? Is it ok for resident’s queries to be forwarded through their Councillors or should residents contact the public lighting section direct.

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the on the Poddle Flood Alleviation works programme.
The Poddle needs to be cleared every year to ensure the water flows downstream in flood season. Maintenance is needed on the overgrowth in the Tymon area behind Osprey where bad flooding has occurred in the past. The overgrowth is also causing rat problems in the area and potentially will make the flooding worse.
Public Realm
Questions
"Could the Chief Executive please advise whether the tree pruning referred to in an email (16/01/15) was ever carried out? I had understood that Whitechurch had been surveyed but was not on the current or last years tree pruning list?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on tree pruning and removal, including stump removal works, for this year in the Dublin 12 area; to state how trees under electricity wires have been dealt with; to provide a specific update on the progress regarding the approved scheme for St Joseph's Rd; and to state if Dublin 12 will be prioritised in 2017 for the planting of suitable replacement trees given the level of necessary removals in the area in recent years?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the playspace programme for 2016 and 2017 for the area under the remit of this Committee; to state the progress in each case; and to make a statement on the matter?"

"That the trees in Tymon Park that are overhanging the back gardens of a number of houses on Osprey Park be investigated for maintenance. As well as needing to be cut back, some of the trees are a significant risk for falling over and need to be removed."
"Please add Whitechurch Estate to the tree pruning list. I have had representations from a few different neighbours around the Estate who site lifting pavements, obscured street lighting and fallen leaves as hazards."
"That the Chief Executive give a report on the maintenance of Bohernabreena Cemetery. Constituents are very disappointed at the haphazard grass-cutting and have noted the vast difference between the maintenance in other Lawn Cemeteries, such as Palmerstown."
"To ask the Chief Executive that the area around the Ballyroan Library be considered for maintenance.
The residents of 48 to 54 Orchardstown Avenue are constantly maintaining the area to the side of the public library by cleaning and planting. Residents are hoping for 3 or 4 large planters at the side of the public library which they are happy to maintain.
Also, at the back and side of the library (Orchardstown Villas & Orchardstown Avenue) small stones have been placed to keep down weeds. There is concrete lip all along the back wall (on Orchardstown Villas) which keeps these stones in place but this lip does not continue around the side (on Orchardstown Ave). As the Orchardstown Ave residents are having constantly to brush the stones back into place, can this lip be extended around the side wall of the library."
