Motions
That this Area Committee, being very concerned at the plight of Traveller families who have very little or no option except to set up temporary camps in unauthorised locations and without essential supportive services in this LAC, often with consequential detrimental effects on local residential areas, calls for a report from the Chief Executive on how he has/intends to deal with or provide for such situations in a manner that respects both the rights and intentions of Travellers to move from place to place in an orderly manner and the rights of people who want to live in regulated and environmentally sustainable permanent communities and who on a voluntary basis are often prepared to form Tidy Towns Groups to enhance their areas.

Motions
Further to an earlier Motion regarding the request to carry out car park audit in the Paddocks, that this Area Committee seeks clarification on which policy was used to carry out this audit. The findings of the car park audit created confusion with residents in the area. It appears to be the case that the findings are not in line with the original SDZ plans and this needs to be further examined.

That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive assess the footpath at Bus Stop number 4612 outside Arthur Griffith Park and carry out the necessary repair. This bus stop is used by many older residents and the surface is very uneven.
That this Area Committee call on the Chief Executive to install new innovative signage in Lucan and Palmerstown to inform pedestrians with reduced mobility of narrowing pathways to alert them if there will be difficulty passing on our pathways. Similar signage has been installed in Irishtown (image attached).
That this Area Committee meets with the NTA and TII to specifically discuss the practicalities of obtaining the funding streams required to further the objective we inserted into the 2016-2022 Development Plan for a grade seperated junction at Kennelsfort Road/R148 intersection, something badly needed to manage traffic flows to revitalise the Palmerstown village area in terms of retail, tourism and heritage.
That this Area Committee asks that the Chief Executive write to the NTA/TII requesting a grant for the segregated junction at Kennelsfort road/R148. This is in line with the objectives of the current County Development Plan and is gaining greater urgency given the proposed road adjustments to meet the needs of BusConnect. Furthermore, that the Council indicate its commitment to both part-funding and scheduling the design of this long awaited piece of essential infrastructure and bring estimated costing to the April LAC.
That this Area Committee requests that the Chief Executive improves the public lighting at bus stop number 4619 on the Foxborough Road. There has been a number of attacks to people waiting at this bus stop over the last few months and improving lighting will hopefully make it safer for residents using this bus services.
That this Area Committee request the Chief Executive write to Dublin Bus complimenting them on the extension of the 26 Bus to the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre and requesting that bus shelters be erected on Kennelsfort Road, at the Palmerstown Building Supplies/Granite, on both the inward and outward routes.
