Meeting:

Responsibility:
Brian Keaney

"That this Council:

- recognising its role through successive development plans and planning permissions, aided by historic material contraventions by elected reps, in developing Lucan as a dormitory town with insufficient local jobs, community facilities and infrastructure all of which led to unprecended levels of traffic gridlock during the Celtic Tiger era

- acknowledging that these levels of gridlock are raplidly approaching 2006 levels again and require remedial action on a holistic level involving multiple agencies

- undertakes to take a lead role in dealing with the current and projected future traffic situation in terms of best/worst case scenarios regarding timescales for the completion of the Adamstown SDZ, the eventual completion of the Clonburris SDZ, its own social housing projects and any emergency housing accomodation as deemed necessary, through strategically focusing on the potential for local jobs, local facilities and local transport options in proactive consultation with the various agencies and Government departments involved;

- and in particular sets out a deliverable timeframe for the completion and analysis of the largest and most comprehensive transport usage survey ever undertaken in Lucan to identify specifically not just where and how Lucan people travel at peak hours  but also to ascertain what potential key improvements in radial public transport corridors and routes, as well as cycling and pedestrian provision could be made to reduce the number of car journeys now choking our community and frustrating drivers who in many instances have no other viable alternative."
