MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 190

MOTION: Councillor B. Lawlor, Councillor V. Casserly, Councillor K. Egan, Councillor David McManus, Councillor Baby Pereppadan, Councillor S. O'Hara, Councillor L. McCrave

That the County Development Plan ensures that the delivery of cycle ways do not create traffic backlogs at junctions such as roundabout, and are constructed in a way that both protects cyclists and pedestrians whilst ensuring traffic progression.

REPORT:

This motion is overly specific for this stage of the Development Plan process. However, it broadly supports a number of CE Strategic Recommendations ‘Promote and enable the delivery of infrastructure to increase the number of people walking and Cycling’ and ‘Support delivery of infrastructure associated with cycling to enable and encourage a greater take up and comfort of cycling in the County’ and ‘Incorporate requirements for Active Travel Plans and Traffic Management Plans where appropriate through the Development Management System’.

Recommendation:  It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to recognise that this type of objective is overly detailed for this strategic stage but could be considered as part of the draft plan preparation on foot of the strategic direction provided under the CE Recommendations:

‘Incorporate requirements for Active Travel Plans and Traffic Management Plans where appropriate through the Development Management System’.
