SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, May 04, 2010

MOTION NO. 91

MOTION: Councillor D. Keating

Transportation 6.4.1: It is the policy of this Council that underutilised QBC’s should not be unavailable to other road users and therefore not be sterilised.

REPORT:

At the core of the Draft Development Plan is the promotion of a more sustainable County. Central to this is the promotion of improved public transport. Bus is an important element of this. The effect of this motion would be the promotion of private car use and reduce the capacity, attractivness and speed of public transport in the County.

The proposed amendment is not considered appropriate to be included in the County Development Plan as responsibility for the management of the dedicated bus lanes does not lie with the Council. 

Manager’s Recommendation:

That the motion not be adopted.
