That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive examine the squares in Arthur Griffith Park regarding the car parking in each square. This area has had an increase in cars due to the maturity of the area. Many residents are unable to park in their drive way due to other car users blocking them in. Emergency services have had great difficulty in getting to residents. The residents are asking if marked car park spaces / assigned car park spaces could be introduced to reduce the congestion in the area.
That this Area Committee request the Chief Executive increase the number of random inspections of new building works in this electoral area to see if they are in compliance with BER insulation requirements, gas pipe shielding requirements and also to ensure that buildings are erected as indicated in drawings supplied with granted planning permissions; and if a list could be given of all sites inspected in the six months between 13th September 2018 and 13th March 2019.
That this Area Committee notes a raised pedestrian crossing at the R148 and Kennelsfort Road Upper was agreed in principle in 2016 and needs to be installled as this is a serious hazard for persons in wheelchairs/pushcars/buggies, the physically challenged or are very young, due to the fact that buses, lorries and cars constantly stop on the crossing once the traffic lights at the junction turn red.
At the same location, the yellow box needs to be moved from before the pedestrian crossing (the lane is no longer open to motorised traffic) to the R148 side of the pedestrian crossing as motorised traffic exit at this point from the laneway and parking area, finally motorists coming from Upper Kennelsfort Road need to be warned that traffic may be doing a u-turn ahead as there has been a number of accidents at this junction recently.

Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update and timescales for major projects phased under the Adamstown plan that are scheduled to take place in the next 12 months, including parks, retail services, community buildings, link roads etc and if a statement can be made on the matter?"

That this Area Committee requests that the Chief Executive arrange a site meeting with The Oaks Neighbourhood Watch group to see what work under current budgets can be done. The work mostly needed is cutting back bushes and trees at the entrance to Abbeywood estate. This area continues to be a source of illegal dumping & anti-social behaviour.
The residents of Hillcrest have asked that the 50 plus stumps of trees that are in the estate be removed and replaced with new trees. That this Area Committee pass a motion committing that this be done.
That this Area Committee advises the residents at (addresses supplied not for publication) have requested that the trees at these locations be examined without delay. If not removed, can they be severely pruned? I have inspected the locations and I can verify that the trees at all locations require urgent attention.
That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive carry out a feasibility study to design steps at the area directly behind Kew Park estate. The existing laneway at Kew Park leads onto the R835 (see photo marking the area). This area has become a connection for many residents living in the Kew Park and Weston Estates to the village area, local schools in Airlie Heights etc. There is a desire by residents to walk to these locations and installing steps at this area would allow for safer access and encourage walking over driving.
That this Area Committee call on the Chief Executive to carry out some work in Waterstown Park new playground. The slide needs to be modified as small children can not access it. Drainage works need to be done under the zip line as it is flooded after a bit of rain. The playground could also do with some extra seating.
That this Area Committee ask the Chief Executive for an update on the provision of additional bee hives in Waterstown Park/Liffey Valley/Mill Lane Palmerstown.
