To ask that NTA/Dublin Bus confirm the total number of queries/comments etc sent in and what issues the ambassadors had picked up over the initial few days in late November last.
That this Committee agrees that the Council carry out an inspection of all pedestrian lights on the Fonthill Road, Cold Cut Road, Neilstown Road, and Liffey Valley as I have received reports from the father of a visually impaired child that the audible 'beeping' signals are not in operation at all locations. Furthermore, that the Council bring a report to a future area committee on the findings of the inspection and the actions taken.
Moved without Debate
That the facility to park on the (hard surface where it exists) between the motor carriageway and the footpath be accorded to residents of Old Lucan Road similar to that enjoyed for many years by residents of Upper Kennelsfort Road.
That the Chief Executive be thanked for cutting back the hedging on Station Road between Palmerstown Woods and Whitethorn, but that a clean-up of the encroached vegetation and debris on the footpath be conducted immediately to reclaim footpath space for pedestrians, especially those requiring mobility assistance

The request to install a speed indicator along Esker road, has been submitted a number of times. The issue identified earlier on was in regards to cars exiting the estate (Finnstown Abbey) whereby there was and still is a blind spot to the right. It's since been highlighted to me that cars are not slowing down/stopping at the pedestrian lights. Could the Chief Executive revisit this location and examine what measures are available to address this problem.
That the Chief Executive provide an update as to when the remainder of the 2020 footpath repairs programme are to be carried out, and to make a statement on the matter.

That the Chief Executive monitors and liaises with developers in the Adamstown SDZ to ensure adequate address signage is put in place as eircodes don't always work properly and postal workers, couriers and take away deliveries are currently finding it difficult to find some locations, especially with streets where there are apartments and houses with the same numbers (background info provided).
