This Committee requests the Council to investigate improvements for users at the Tymon Park Dog Run including: 1) Changes to the entrance to the dog run: On a few occasions in the past few months users have slipped and fallen while trying to enter the area with their pets.

In winter at 4pm it is dark in the run and it is impossible to see any dogs without the use of a torch. Could a simple floodlight on a timer facing into the run by each entrance be considered?

That this Council includes Brookvale and Brookvale estate on the current RTFB Roadworks Programme 2024 as the roads and footpaths have disintegrated badly and are in urgent need of proper repair and maintenance works. Please see attached photos
That the manager conducts minor footpath works as outlined in the attached letter to improve accessibility for the numerous footpath users on this busy route used by elderly people, people with buggies and school children.
This Committee requests SDCC undertake additional road safety measures at Greenhills Educate Together School as a priority. The road outside the school is part of the Wellington Lane Scheme and the school are also part of Safe Routes to School initiative. This request is based upon the following: It is understood that the proposed date for the works as part of the Wellington Lane Scheme is not until 2025. There are no effective traffic calming measures on the road at the school bar ineffective bus cushions. There is no indication that this is a school zone and no measures in place to slow traffic. It is a long, straight stretch of road. As the permanent works are not going to be completed for a significant amount of time, it is essential that some sort of safety works are completed in the meantime.
That the Chief Executive agrees to repair the corner grass area and kerb of the intersection of Killakee Ave & Ballycullen ave Firhouse.
That the Chief Executive agrees to ensure the public lighting pole no. 2 on Eden Avenue Rathfarnham is repaired?
This Committee notes with concern the level of overflow and flooding at the drains opposite the Yellow House pub in Rathfarnham. This Committee notes that even moderate rainfall leads to the road being flooded and is a hazard for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. This Committee requests the Council to carry out an investigation and arrange for works to address the issue.
Can the location of the lollipop person station on Knocklyon Road (beside Coolamber Park) currently beside the Applegreen petrol station be reviewed as reports from some parents state that the location means that children are left to cross a second busy junction after the initial crossing.
That much needed resurfacing and repairs on the Main Street in Rathfarnham Village be carried out as soon as possible, particularly at the end of the Village where the surfaces have deteriorated badly. I note that €30K had been allocated for these works but that as the area was being dug up by Irish Water, that the €30K was allocated to Butterfield Avenue instead. I would be obliged if you could please confirm that these monies may now be reallocated and expended for the benefit of the Main Street in the Village as this is now urgent and long overdue.
