MOTION NO. 125

MOTION: Councillor M. Devine

Co-sponsored by Cllr Graham:

'It shall be an objective of this Council to ensure, with regard to future planning matters, that all public transport stops are disable proofed'. 

REPORT:

The design of public transport infrastructure is generally the remit of service providers.  Where new public transport stops are proposed, Council is consulted as part of the planning process.  Council has also worked with the National Transport Authority to refit bus stops so that they cater for the needs of the visually and physically impaired via the provision of accessible kerbs (i.e. higher kerbs) and tactile paving.  These actions can be reflected as an Action under TM Policy 3 – Public Transport.  

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment

That the following Action be added to TM Policy 3 – Public Transport.  

To work with public transport service providers to ensure that all railway stations and bus stops are designed to be universally accessible.
