To ask the Manager to provide an update on the agreed removal of the telephone boxes from Lucan village.
To ask the Chief Executive to explain the cycleway policy. The new emphasis on giving priority to pedestrians and cyclists (and public transport) is to be welcomed but its not clear how it is to be achieved in practice. When installing the (recent) cycleway between Palmerstown and Chapelizod, there was much concern when a 'Shared' system was introduced where the traditional road markings designating the pedestrian and cycle lanes were absent. Now it does appear that both are again separated and often often further separated from motorised traffic by a line of bollards. Retrofitting some residential areas in this fashion is causing serious concern for many people. Which is it to be segregated or shared or a mixture?
To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the repair and conservation of the boundary wall at the Lucan Road and the Italian Ambassador's Residence..

That the chief executive write to the National Transport Authority requesting the removal of the proposed Bus Connects route 80 from entering Palmerstown Village as the area is adequately with bus stops on the R148.
