SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor J. Lahart

"That the Manager examine the suggestion from Rathfarnham Traders/Tidy Village representatives that the first three or four parking spaces on the eastern side of the village at the northern entrance (opposite the entrance to the graveyard and outside the Credit Union) could be examined for removal as they actually block two lane movement in and out of the village.  If the first three or four spaces were removed traffic would flow more easily into the village."

REPORT:

The parking bay at the side of the credit union can accommodate up to 4 cars spaces. These are not individually marked and turning and parking manoeuvres do affect traffic flow particularly at the bend. I am reluctant to remove four spaces however as a first step it is intended to remove one of these four spaces closest to the junction as soon as this can be arranged which should relieve the problem. The matter can then be reassessed.
