Motion 3 from Councillors Mary Freehill, Ruairí McGinley, Anne Feeney, Claire O’Connor, Paddy Smyth and Patrick Costello

Following a very well attended meeting of residents from Upper and Lower Mount Pleasant Avenue along with Bessboragh Parade, Richmond Hill & Place and Gulistan; the residents very clearly pointed out that the volume of traffic now moving through Upper and Lower Mount Pleasant Avenue is unsustainable and is severely interfering with the ability of people to live there.  This is a very narrow road that was never intended to cater for this volume of traffic; it’s now dangerous for residents and especially children.  We as elected councillors for the area collectively propose that a “traffic calming study” be urgently carried out for Lower & Upper Mount Pleasant Avenue to deal with the pressing issue of heavy volume of traffic.

(a)   As a first step that a 3 ton truck limit be imposed on this route

(b)   That Mount Pleasant Ave Lower. and Upper be listed for byelaw amendment to make this area a 30 kmph speed limit

Order: Report to councillor.

Motion 4 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

That this committee asks the manager to initiate the inclusion of St. Mary's (former home and convent), Pembroke Park, Donnybrook, Dublin 4 on the list of protected structures.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 5 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests the manager to contact Eircom ( or whatever it is called now) to remove the unwanted and no longer in use for their intended purposes phone boxes at the corner of Richmond Street South and Harrington Street.  Picture below of phone boxes outside AIB bank corner of Richmond Street South and Harrington Street.  Anyway, these phone boxes aren't used as phone boxes much at all anymore.  They've developed into an eyesore and are now dangerous if addicts are using them to inject.

Order: Report to councillor.

Motion 6 from Councillor Sonya Stapleton

This committee calls on the manager to have a gate installed at the entrance to O’Carroll Villas flats car park.
