Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests the manager to arrange for a serious pruning of the Dublin City Council trees on the grass section of Beech Hill Avenue alongside the David Lloyd Centre to be carried out as they block light and sun for the residents.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 2 from Councillor Mary Freehill

Because of the high child traffic walking to schools in Clareville Road to St. Louis, Rathmines and schools in Harold’s Cross, a pedestrian crossing is needed at the Kenilworth Park crossing from Clareville Road.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 3 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

To ask the manager if he will report on what steps have been taken and will be taken to implement a previously agreed motion to protect the heritage lighting on the bridge at Ballsbridge as detailed in the email submitted with this motion:

“With the help of your colleague Dermot we made some progress with the broken light base on the bridge... nearest to the bridge pub.  It seems to have stopped there however.  Not only has the light not been replaced none of the lights on that side of the bridge are working.

This is just ‘a thing’ I have viz. Ballsbridge has very little to offer historically speaking but the bridge is nice and would look so much better if finished. Hopefully you help advance this.”

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 4 from Councillors Paddy Smyth and Dermot Lacey

This committee requests that the Traffic Department carries out traffic modelling to assess the impact on traffic flows in the surrounding streets should vehicular traffic be filtered from Marlborough Road and/or Belmont Avenue as part of a scheme to prohibit rat-running on these streets. 

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 5 from Councillor Paddy Smyth

Given the huge popularity with both residents and adjacent businesses of restricting vehicular through traffic on the north side of Sandymount Green (Sandymount Road to Newgrove Avenue) during recent events such as the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, this committee requests that this filtering of traffic be trialled as regular installation on Friday and Saturday evenings 6pm to 10pm over the coming summer months. 

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 6 from Councillor Frank Kennedy

On 7 January 2019, I sent the following e-mail to Waterways Ireland at dublincanals@waterwaysireland.org:

Dear Rory,

I hope this finds you well and Happy New Year.

An issue has been raised with my by local residents in the Portobello area. With regard to the Grand Canal, would it be possible to make a new sign (as per the mock up in the attached picture) with the names of both Portobello and Cuan Aoibhinn, the Irish translation, which has not been present to date? Secondly, would it be possible to move the sign to Portobello, i.e. on the western side of Portobello Bridge? The location of the sign at present appears in fact not to be in Portobello.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Frank.
