That this Committee call on the Manager to bring forward proposals for the upgrade of Kennelsfort Road Upper, from the Coldcut Road junction to the N4, and submit it as a matter of urgency for funding under the Urban Renewal Programme, or another relevant scheme. Can he consult with the local Community Council, residents of Kennelsfort Rd and with relevant local business interests along Kennelsfort Road to have the road at a standard that is reflective of the fact that it is the main artery of this settled community.
That South Dublin County Council carry out a survey of the back lane network in Palmerstown with a view to securing them in such a manner that they will no longer be available for illegal dumping and/or for unsocial activities. The present situation is a source of ongoing and severe trauma for adjacent residents as well as a drain on scarce Council and Garda resources and frustrating for the whole Community.
"That the Manager examine the parking problems in Whitehall Close as residents are concerned about a recent occasion when an Ambulance could not reach the home of a very ill person because of cars blocking the road and to ask the Manager to look at (a) the feasibility of installing double yellow lines on one side of the road or (b) providing additional parking by removing the grass verges."
"To ask the Manager for an updated report on the taking in charge of Stonepark Estate as requested by the residents and this councillor and that this report includes a list of outstanding works as outlined by Parks Department and other Departments, to state how and when it is proposed to proceed with those works and complete the taking in charge process of the whole estate i.e. Roads/Parks/Planning/Environmental issues addressed"
"To ask the Manager when you expect to be in a position to upgrade the footpaths at the Barton Drive shops now that the taking in charge request has been recieved from the traders, taking into consideration that I first requested this upgrade over three years ago?"
"That this committee discusses the urgency of ensuring the development of the site at the old shopping Centre (McHugh’s) on St. James’s Road Greenhills now that the most recent planning application was declared withdrawn this month as the applicant (McHugh’s) did not submit the required additional information as requested. This is at least the 3rd planning application on this site. It was agreed following my question put at the Council meeting 6th April 2006 –almost a year ago - that a Compulsory Purchase order would be initiated. I was subsequently informed that site drawings for the CPO were being prepared and that the CPO was imminent, this was over 5 months ago. As this site is a total eyesore and the facilities e.g. Shops, Chemist, Post Office are greatly missed in the community, could the CPO be speeded up as it is obvious – once more by allowing withdrawal of current application– that the applicants have no intention of developing this site in the immediate future. The current derelict situation on this site for over 4 years must not be allowed to continue. "
“To ask the Manager if he would recognise that the pedestrian pathway at the pedestrian crossing between Kingswood and Kilnamanagh on the Embankment Road represents a very narrow stretch of pathway, and given the extensive and heavy traffic flows along this road throughout the day, if he could propose measures which would improve pedestrian safety at this crossing where pedestrians are literally beside cars and trucks as they travel along this road, and if measures could be devised to increase the width of the path at these pedestrian lights, and if he will make a statement on the matter?”
“To ask the Manager to immediately reinstate the Parkhill Rise name plate in Kilnamangh, as this sign has been removed for quite some time, and people unfamiliar with the area are finding it difficult to find this street, and in replying, if he could set out precisely when the street sign will be replaced, and if he will make a statement on the matter?”
"To ask the Manager to arrange a deputations meeting with the residents of Moyville Lawn at the earliest possible opportunity?"
