MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Wednesday, January 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 217

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole

6. Page 29 Public Transport: General Add in new Bullet point as follows • To support and facilitate school bus transport throughout the County 

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council will support and facilitate all forms of active and public transport to schools.  However, it is considered that this wording is overly detailed for this strategic stage of the Development Plan process and that the motion is already broadly supported by existing CE Strategic Recommendations including ‘Support an efficient and effective transport system, promoting modal shift to public transport, walking and cycling, encouraging permeability and taking account of national and regional policy and guidance’. 

Recommendation:  

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to recognise that this type of policy provision or 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 Recommendation ‘Support an efficient and effective transport system, promoting modal shift to public transport, walking and cycling, encouraging permeability and taking account of national and regional policy and guidance’.
