That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to urgently address the condition of the footpaths in the Castlegate area of Adamstown which have been acknowledged by Council engineers as being in need of major repair. While it has been stated that the full rectification of these footpaths would consume the entire county-wide footpath repair budget this situation is not acceptable given that Castlegate represents the main entrance and gateway into the Adamstown Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) one of the first of its kind in the country. This Committee therefore requests that additional funding be sought outside of the standard footpath repair budget including through capital works or other available sources to allow a full and proper upgrade of the footpaths in this area. The current condition poses a serious risk to pedestrians and undermines efforts to promote walking and cycling within Adamstown. It is essential that this issue now be prioritised and progressed as a standalone project, rather than deferred indefinitely due to budget constraints.
That this Committee requests that the Chief Executive consider the development of a public-facing online dashboard to provide regular updates on major projects and works underway in the Lucan area including transport, parks, housing and community infrastructure schemes. Given the volume of projects currently in progress and planned for Lucan a clear and accessible dashboard would greatly improve transparency, communication and public understanding of timelines and progress. Such a model could be piloted in the Lucan area and if successful, extended countywide as part of the Council's Digital Transformation and Customer Service objectives.
