"To ask the Chief Executive to set up a Farmers Market in Corkagh Park?
That the Chief Executive installs at least two public litter bins along Whitehall Road West. Preferably these would be big belly bins. Presently, there is only one bin in place between the Ashleaf SC and the Spar, with none on the side of the greens. This makes little sense given there are two bus stops and Borza etc.

‘Update on Dublin Urban Rivers LIFE Project’
To ask the Chief Executive to revisit the report on noise barriers/boundary along the N4, previous question in 2019 (see item 64556) responded with a review due in 2023. Since Covid happened we have seen a massive reduction in traffic along the N4 and the difference in noise during the lockdown has been notice by those living along the N4. For example being able to sit in their gardens have conversations without having to raise voices, keep their windows opened at all times. While this may seem like a small act it has shown us how the reduction in traffic/noise has been a positive effect on peoples lives. There are residents living along the N4 including Hillcrest Estate, Vesey Park, Beech Park and Ardeevin. This committee seeks to have this newly identified impact further investigated with a view to revisiting plans sooner than 2023.

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/FONTHILL AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, January 28, 2020
QUESTION NO. 6
QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole
To ask the Chief Executive for a report on noise barriers / boundary along the N4, what type of barriers were placed along both sides of the N4 in its first design/upgrade, when they were installed and to include what traffic volume the noise barriers were designed for (appx 20 years+) and compare it to todays volume of traffic using the N4. If the Chief Executive could comment on whether it supports introducing updated more effective noise barriers should studies/findings confirm if new ones are required.
As we continue to design and implement cycle ways / lanes in our county including the Lucan, Adamstown, Grange castle and newer developments in Clonburris, we have seen evidence of an increase in cycling and more recently during lockdown due to covid restrictions, Cycling has become a preferred mode of transport to public transport.
The cleansing of cycle lanes has become a challenge. Removal of debris, broken glass, damaged shores, overgrown briars, damage from burnt out vehicles etc is a regular request received from the public including cyclists and in some instances removing cyclists from our cycle lanes for some time.
This committee requests that the Chief Executive introduce a cycle lane cleansing schedule programme, similar to the road sweeping programme. To also include a report on the machinery currently owned by the council to cleanse the cycle lanes, how many per area, and when we last invested in new machinery.
