MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 12, 2017

QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor E. Murphy

"At a meeting of the Area Committee earlier this year a motion was passed in relation to the Rosemount Car Park situation? Can I please have an update on the current situation?"

REPLY:

"A number of options exist for the upgrading of Rosemount Shopping Centre Car Park. The critical elements of any scheme are the increase in the number of spaces and the provision of a footpath to the bus stop along the front of the car park. Also any investment of council funds should be accompanied by a new pay parking scheme including a maximum set down period in order to eliminate park and ride occupants.

The members will also have to make a separate Motion to our Environment Department to provide parking on what is presently green space adjacent to the car park. Without use of this green space no increase in parking spaces can be provided.

It will cost approximately €100,000 to address this issue and this is subject to having Parks Department support for the removal of a grassed area as described above."
