"As a follow up to the emergency motion passed at the November LAC and given the recently agreed policy on the Mobility and Management of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) on South Dublin County Road Network and the subsequent review of weight restrictions that now propose a weight restriction of 7.5 tonne on Kennelsfort Road, this committee now requests that Management revisit this proposal and provide for a restriction of 3.5 tonne on Kennelsfort Road Upper from the N148 to the entrance of Woodfarm Acres for the following evidence based reasons: 1. The Dublin City Council has installed a 3.5 tonne restriction on Ballyfermot Road and as both this road and Kennelsfort Road, which flow into each other at the County Boundary, feed into/serve the Coldcut Road and adjacent roads including the Liffey Valley Town Centre, it is imperative that both Ballyfermot Road and Kennelsfort Road have the same level of protection otherwise there will be a huge displacement factor with Kennelsfort Road having to carry excessive and undesitrable Heavy Goods Vehicle traffic. 2. Kennelsfort Road is already carrying excessive levels of motorised traffic, mainly but not solely commuter traffic and increasingly Liffey Valley Town Centre Traffic especially at peak times leading to congestion and noise and air pollution and to an unacceptable level of safety hazards for pedestrians and cyclists; by restricting Heavy Goods Vehicles to 3.5 tonne this will remove a significant percentage of the motorised traffic and attendant hazards. 3. The houses on Kennelsfort Road with a proposed 7.5 tonne restriction, unlike the houses on Ballyfermot Road which has a 3.5 tonne restriction, are fronting onto Kennelsfort Road with consequential excessive noise and air pollution due to the lack of a 'buffer' space such as the Houses on Ballyfermot Road enjoy. 4. Kennelsfort Road has four controlled pedestrian crossings reflecting the fact that it serves two primary and one second level school for a huge number of young people as well as a cemetery, a Public House and a significant Shopping Centre which incorporates the Post Office, all of which leads to it being extensively used by Senior Citizens and other pedestrians who arrive by Bus. 5. Kennelsfort Road has two cycleways which promote this mode of transport however the road is quite narrow, has a significant hill and two serious bends and as such requires restricted vehicle flows allowing only for cars and vans as in category B instead of the proposed vans and small trucks (Category C1)."
