To ask the Manager if the Dublin City Council have acted as promised in the answer to my question of 5th November 2009 [ref 20942 To ask the Manager responsible when it is intended to adjust the Kennelsfort Road/Cold Cut junction and to synchronise the traffic lights at this junction, Cloverhill junction and Liffey Valley Junction so as to give a better traffic flow on Kennelsfort Road Upper, Palmerstown (as promised would be done once the N4 upgrade was completed)] and to elaborate on the answer to my question of 5th November 2009 (ref 20943) and how this fits in to the report given in response to my earlier motion of 4th March 2009 (ref 18561) and to my earlier question of 2nd February 2008 (ref 14713)?
To ask the Manager if he will advise the Committee on the expenditure by the Council on traffic calming schemes in the Lucan Electoral Area in 2009?
That this Committee requests the Manager to initiate a review of the Council's Five Year Playground Programme, having regard to the capacity of the Council to implement the present programme in the context of its financial resources, and if he will consider the feasibility of providing playground facilities to parts of the Lucan Electoral Area not currently provided for/or included in the five year programme, including Palmerstown, the Ballyowen/Willsbrook area through the provision of small playgrounds on parkland/open spaces which are overlooked by housing?

That this Committee requests the Manager to initiate a review of the Council's Five Year Playground Programme, having regard to the capacity of the Council to implement the present programme in the context of its financial resources, and if he will consider the feasibility of providing playground facilities to parts of the Lucan Electoral Area not currently provided for/or included in the five year programme, including Palmerstown, the Ballyowen/Willsbrook area through the provision of small playgrounds on parkland/open spaces which are overlooked by housing?
That the Manager would present a detailed report for discussion on the Council's plans to introduce safe pedestrian access to the N4 for public transport and Liffey Valley, for residents, particularly those residents living on the St. Loman's Road and Ballyowen Road and Ballyowen Lane, Lucan areas. I have submitted a draft drawing for consideration at this meeting in the interest of progressing this issue. The lack of safe pedestrian access at this location poses a daily and serious threat to the health and safety of all pedestrians in this area, including children, particularly owing to the busy and dangerous Fonthill Road and St. Loman's Road junction.
Further to the reply to my question at the November meeting, to thank the Manager for agreeing to the installation of traffic lights at the junction of Hillcrest and Newcastle Roads. This will be of significant benefit in alleviating the lengthy traffic tailbacks faced up to now by Hillcrest residents. However in noting concerns raised by the management and parents of St. Thomas NS and Scoil Aine Naofa over the pedestrian safety implications of these works, this committee requests the Manager to present proposals on ensuring improved pedestrian safety at this location including the possibility of either retaining the existing pedestrian crossing outside St. Patrick's Church and sequencing it with the new traffic lights and/or installing pedestrian guard-railing along both sides of Newcastle Road between the existing and proposed new crossing point to prevent children from crossing this busy road at unsafe locations.
That this Committee recommends that Lucan be given priority pending any introduction of a local authority transport service.
To ask the Manager to lists the lands/property within South County Dublin which will be subject to the provisions of NAMA and to name the owners involved?
That a site meeting be arranged at the Laneway between Palmerstown Avenue and the N4 so that members and staff can jointly determine how this area can be restored to a state commensurate with the fact that it bounds a residential area.
That Lucan be given priority pending any introduction of local authority transport service.
That the Manager provide an up to date report on the cleansing of gullies in the Palmerstown and Lucan areas of this County and if he is satisfied that all fire hydrants in the area are accessible and easily located?
To ask the Manager to identify the areas of this county that are subject to serious flooding and to state in the reply what contingency plans this Council have to prevent such flooding and to deal with it when it happens?
To ask the Manager for a report on the effectiveness and accuracy of the new signage, including Gantries and road markings, on the M50, to state if it is conducive to safe driving and to include in the report the number of complaints (if any) made to this County in relation to the signage especially as it relates to exits and the positioning of lanes/vehicles who wish to exit this motorway and what action (if any) this Council have taken on foot of such complaints/observations?
To ask the Manager when action will be taken on my previous motion passed by this Council (and agreed by the Director of Traffic at the time as a practical idea) to have the main roundabouts of the County individually identified (by giving them a distinctive name) to help traffic traverse the County and that the names of Local Town lands, Irish Trees and Grasses be used in naming the roundabouts?
To ask the Manager for a report on the work of this Council to date in addressing Homelessness and to include in the answer how this County plans to meet the National Objectives in alleviating this very human and pressing issue?
