MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave

"That the Manager include in the footpaths repair program the Laneway between Pinewood Park and Butterfield Park and to take into account.

  1. Replace the valley effect of the Laneway at the Butterfield Park end with a level surface
  2. Bring the manhole in the Laneway at the Butterfield Park end to the same level as the footpath.
  3. Resurface the rutted footpath in the Laneway at the Pinewood Park end."

REPORT:

The laneway in question was inspected recently and surface repairs were carried out in the vicinity of the two drainage manholes. The surface of the lane was observed to be otherwise in good condition.

  1. The “Valley Effect” in the centre of the laneway has been provided to assist drainage runoff.
  2. Lowering the manholes would require extensive excavations in an otherwise sound surface.
  3. The surface of the laneway in the Pinewood Park end is in a sound condition.
