Proposed Declaration of Roads to be Public Roads -
Notice of Items to be taken in Charge in the Wilkins View Estate.
Motions
That this committee request repairs of the footpath located near to 1 St. Anthony's Crescent and which continues around to St. Joseph's Road. This footpath is in bad state of repair. The surface is unstable and there a number of holes present. There are a number of residents who use walking frames and walking sticks who live on this road and who are very afraid of navigating the path and fearful of falling.
That the Manager facilitates the installation of two name rocks on the Knocklyon Road. There are a large number of suitable rocks on the site of the Homeville Part 8 which would be ideal. It is suggested one would go at the corner of Knocklyon Road and Firhouse road across from Lansdowne on the Blue Haven side. The other one could go on the Intersection of Ballycullen Rd. and Firhouse Rd., opposite Mortons but on the Delanys pub side.
That this Council gives a commencement date for the installation of the new ramps on Silverwood Drive in Rathfarnham. The procedure to approve the works went to public consultation and the portal closed in or around the 1st December, 2020.
That this area committee requests the Chief Executive to repair an estate sign on a wall outside 4 Aranleigh Gardens, Rathfarnham.
To ask the Chief Executive can he provide revised schedule for the completion of the current phase of the Grange Road Cycle Scheme. The ongoing inconvenience and continuous missed deadlines is a source of frustration to residents and is taking the good out of the project. Please can you explain also in your reply, the nature of delays so that we may learn from this phase and prevent not only further delay to this phase but learn for future phases, of this scheme.
That the Manager removes the graffiti on the M50 foot bridge at Knocklyon the end near the Scout Den gate.

Motions
Is there any update as regards CCTV requested in Dodder Valley Park for N81 underpass? ASB continues to be an issue for park users and residents.
That this committee requests immediate action to clean the laneways in the Dublin 12 area that fall under the jurisdiction of SDCC and for this work to be carried out twice annually, as previously agreed. The committee requests a report from management to outline the expected timelines of this work by the end of this year, as well as ongoing quarterly reports to ensure that this work continues and that it stays on target. These laneways must now become a priority of this council's work. While it can be appreciated that cleanings did not take place as a result of the intervention of Covid-19, as restrictions are now lifting, it is matter of urgency that there be a significant improvement in the public realm of these areas. The weeds, rubbish and graffiti is a blight to the local area. There is a wealth of evidence which supports the fact that managed and well cared for areas can help prevent illegal dumping, occurring on an almost daily basis at this point.
