MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, June 18, 2015

MOTION NO. 234

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

Consistent with (TM) Policy 2 it will be a Specific Local Objective of this Development Plan that this Council uses all resources available to it to ensure that projects Metro West and Luas Lucan are facilitated to improve access to and from the County and foster economic growth within the County.

REPORT:

Several Policy/Policy Objectives within the Chief Executives Draft seek to work with national agencies to establish routes for higher frequency public transport services over the medium to long term, namely:

TM2 Objective 2: To establish future public transport routes that will support the County’s medium to long term development, in particular orbital routes.

TM1 Objective 1: To support and guide national agencies in delivering major improvements to the transport network.

It should be noted that Special Local Objectives (SLO) are location specific, generally relating to a specific site or restricted geographical area.   The provision of a public transport route is a strategic issue with broader geographical application.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted, subject of the removal of the requirement for an SLO.
