MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor Peter Kavanagh

"This Area Committee calls for an update into the planning of "car free day" pilot projects as agreed at a previous Area Committee meeting."

REPORT:

This item was previously agreed in Motion no. 8 ID: 71456 at the Clondalkin ACM on the 16 June 2021.  It was written in the motion that 3 sites would be examined in South Dublin for suitability to organise a "Car Free Day".  A site was initially chosen as the best suited to facilitate this event.  The event was to be held during bike week.  However, due to a number of constraints, Covid being one, this element of the event had to be postponed. 

It is still a commitment of this Council to organise a "Car Free Day" in the County.  When normal conditions return, we can relook at organising this event.  I will discuss with the elected members possible suitable locations in Clondalkin LEA for pilot projects.  These locations will be assessed by the Traffic and Active Travel Teams.

I will be in touch with the members shortly to get suggestions of event types and locations that may lend themselves to a "Car Free Day."
