MOTION NO. (11)

MOTION: Councillor B. Ferron

"That this committee calls on the Chief Executive to examine the possibility of introducing permit parking along the road at the Gleann na hEorna estate for residents. Currently the area outside of the apartments is quite wide and contains a pedestrian area, a cycle track, and a further area that pedestrians can walk on. There is currently a chroinic shortage of parking available in this estate and so residents are parking up on the footpath and also along the road and incurring parking fines as a result, including some with disabled parking permits. Can the Chief Executive please examine the possibility that the width of the pathway could be reduced and parking created for these residents, could this cost be included in the 2018 budget of programme of works."

REPORT:

 "The cost of reducing the footpath width including the relocation of services would be prohibitively expensive.

Sufficient car parking for the entire development was provided in the basement of the development. The rate of provision would be 1-2 spaces per dwelling depending on its size. Given that the development is so close to the Luas and a well developed cycle network, a modal shift is encouraged.

SDCC have now installed double yellow lines along the entire length of the development and parking regulations will be strictly enforeced along this busy distributor road."
