MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That this Area Committee writes to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, outlining this Council's Six Year Roads Objective in the Development Plan for a grade separated junction at Kennelsfort Road/R148 interchange and requests meetings with officials from his Department to identify potential funding streams for this key objective which are vitally needed to manage traffic flows towards the city centre and to revitalise the Palmerstown village area in terms of retail, tourism and heritage; there being no way of leveraging funding from the NTA or TII following this section of the N4's downgrading as a national route by the then Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar in 2012.

REPORT:

If the Motion is passed by the members, a letter will be written to the Minister in this regard.
