MOTION NO. 3
MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle
"That this Area Committee welcomes the study of public transport provision within the County undertaken by Transport Insights as an action of the Local Economic and Community Plan 2016-2021; and calls on the National Transport Authority to support implementation of its recommendations, particularly in relation to the need to provide new intraCounty north-south orbital bus service(s); and the need to connect residential areas to the south of Lucan Village with the Village."
REPORT:
Following extensive consultations the South Dublin Local Economic and Community Plan [LECP] 2016 – 2021 was developed. One of the objectives of that plan was “Increase accessibility to existing services”. One of the actions agreed was to carry out a local transport feasibility study including developing a local link across the County. This action was led by the Age Friendly Alliance through Housing, Social & Community Development Department.
Transport Insights were commissioned in early 2016 to carry out this study. The plan they developed is currently in draft format and has gone out to public consultation through the Chamber of Commerce and the Public Participation Network with a closing date of January 23rd 2017. It is intended to bring the completed report to the relevant Strategic Policy Committee at that stage for further discussion and debate.
