The composition of the Land use Transportation & Planning SPC is:
Elected Members x 6
Development Construction x 1
Business Commercial x 1
PPN x 1(environmental pillar)
This council agrees that following this meeting a delegate from the Dublin Cycling Campaign (https://www.dublincycling.com/), is invited to be included as an additional ex officio non elected member of the SPC. This change in the composition of the Land use Transportation & Planning SPC is to reflect the imperative that Dublin's leading advocates of improved cycling infrastructure are members of the county's leading planning forum. Although the other current members of the committee, both elected and non-elected, could advocate for cycling infrastructure, none would have the hands on experience of Dublin Cycling Campaign that could both highlight the significant risks posed to cyclists today while also providing valuable contributions to discussions on future transport corridors. Dublin Cycling Campaign's input would also help formulate the policy changes needed to achieve the significant modal shift towards cycling implicit in the county's climate, health, road safety, air quality and congestion reducing goals and help reduce cycling related casualties
