"That this Committee receives a full report on the history of the Greenhills/Ballymount/Robinhood Road Reconfiguration Scheme including its design, the Part 8 process, the delivery to date and the decision to remove it from the capital programme; that the Committee is given full details of the costs incurred to date by SDCC on this scheme, including CPO acquisition; that a map is provided with details of land acquisition via CPO or other means; and that the Committee notes its disappointment with the lack of consultation with local Councillors as to its removal. This Committee notes a proposed Limekiln Rd extension to meet with the Greenhills Road have been in Council plans since the 1970's, and calls on the Chief Executive to re-evaluate the removal of the scheme in its entirety from the capital programme."

REPORT:

"The proposed alignment of the Greenhills/Ballymount Road Reconfiguration Scheme has been included in the NTA’s Core Bus Corridor Strategy. In the proposed alignment maps produced by the 'Bus Connects' team it shows the proposed bus corridor following the same alignment as the existing Greenhills/Ballymount Road Reconfiguration Part 8. Therefore, any costs incurred on this scheme, including the CPO, will be included in the 'Bus Connects' scheme. In discussions, with the NTA, they have indicated that all the 'Bus Connects' routes will be out for public consultation in Q1 2018."
