Agenda

“That this Committee proposes the amendment of the Dublin City Council parking bye laws to allow for the possibility of the grant to certain approved designated institution types (such as, for example, schools) of the allocation of up to a limit of, for example, eight parking permits on roads where such institutions are located in the following circumstances:

• Where it can be proved that there are sufficient vacant parking spaces during the restricted parking hours to allocate the spaces to the institution without discommoding residents’ parking.

• Where the parking permits are sought to facilitate space within the institution currently used for parking being used for a purpose which would improve the institution by the creation or improvement of an amenity therein.

An example in practice of this proposal would be where a school would receive eight parking permits on the road on which it is located where there are at least eight spaces on that road invariably vacant during restricted parking hours, and where the land in the school currently used to park those eight cars would be converted into a green area/playground/school yard for the pupils. This could also generate revenue for the Council where the parking spaces are not currently being used.”

“This Area Committee supports the 'Love 30' campaign to reduce traffic speeds for cycler safety.”

“To support the Coca-Cola Zero dublinbikes scheme being  extended to include Griffith College South Circular Road.”

“That a total ban be put on all rickshaws within Dublin City Centre, in light of the serious issues and blatant detrimental risks they are presenting to pedestrians, licenced public transport vehicles and to the public in general.”
