"To ask the Chief Executive what measures can be put in place to improve the safety of pedestrians on the Celbridge Road (it gets substantial foot traffic). The footpath is narrow and cars drive very fast. To also advise if the footpath on the R403 between Weston Airport and The Orchard is completed (seems that there is section of the road missing, more likely due to the border between the two authorities). It is quite bizarre/dangerous that it just ends - and that there is a bus stop sitting like an island in the middle of the road."

"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for the following to be examined, this was also raised via members net;

Please find below a request to fix the flood situation on Newcastle road at the traffic lights / junction if you could have this area examined and repaired.
“I wonder could you resolve the problem on the path near the traffic lights on the Adamstown Road see the attached photo.
When it rains it causes a flood of water also a muck bed. Because the path is narrow at that point it makes life harder for people with buggies and people in general to get by. It can be very dangerous if it is icy in winter time. There is no proper drainage to allow the water to flow into also you will notice a slope on the right-hand side near the road. I wonder could you please bring this to the notice of the council department that deals with such matters.”

That this Area Committee notes a raised pedestrian crossing at the R148 and Kennelsfort Road Upper was agreed in principle in 2016 and needs to be installled as this is a serious hazard for persons in wheelchairs/pushcars/buggies, the physically challenged or are very young, due to the fact that buses, lorries and cars constantly stop on the crossing once the traffic lights at the junction turn red.

At the same location, the yellow box needs to be moved from before the pedestrian crossing (the lane is no longer open to motorised traffic) to the R148 side of the pedestrian crossing as motorised traffic exit at this point from the laneway and parking area, finally motorists coming from Upper Kennelsfort Road need to be warned that traffic may be doing a u-turn ahead as there has been a number of accidents at this junction recently.
