MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor C. Jones

"That the Manager will take measures to address the concerns of residents in Ardeevin regarding congestion from parked cars arising from visitors to the nursing home."

REPORT:

Ardeevin is primarily a residential area and staff from the nursing home also utilise the road for parking.  This is to be expected on a public road in proximity to work locations in an urban area.  It is not possible to retain parking for residents only on the public highway. 

Any parking prohibitions such as double yellow lines or time restricted single yellow lines will displace existing parking vehicles and in all likelihood will have a direct affect on residents parking arrangements.  An extensive installation of Double Yellow Lines is not therefore recommended due to difficulties this may cause for residents.

Specific locations such as at junctions where parking is not permissible in order to provide a safe location to make turning manoeuvres can be reinforced by the provision of Double Yellow Lines.  Recent inspections do not indicate ongoing parking problems however the location will be monitored.
