This Council calls on the Chief Executive to instigate a review of the utilisation of all bus lanes and quality bus corridors in the County. With traffic levels back to pre-recession levels it is important that our road space is utilised to the maximum. As bus routes sometimes change it could well be that some of the bus lanes and QBCs in our County are underutilised and no longer represent an efficient use of that road space.

That this Area Committee provide more signs on roads that lead into Tallaght. We have a sign coming off the Glenview roundabout with Tallaght on it, I believe we should have more of these signs on different roads into Tallaght and on the way out. There could be an option for the signs to be sponsored by business so there is no cost to the Council.

"That the Chief Executive carries out a review of the road and safety standards on the Ballycullen Road at the entrance to Glenvara Park. The residents of Glenvara Park risk their lives daily in venturing out from their estate because oncoming traffic cannot be seen because of the curve of the bend. This blind spot is exacerbated by the speed of the traffic coming both up and down each side of the road. Can we see if the road needs speed reducing ramps or traffic calming measures? And can we examine the restriction of the Ballycullen road Bus lane to a 24 / 7 regime."
