Minutes: The following emergency motions to the Area Manager were tabled: Emergency motion in the name of Councillor Janet Horner This area committee calls for an immediate suspension of the planting of new trees along the median strip of Dorset Street, pending a meeting between the NTA, Dublin City Council Management, District 7 Alliance and other residents of the area to consider the feasibility of removing the median strip entirely. Residents, business representatives and road safety campaigners have all advocated for the removal of the median strip to support traffic calming, accessibility and improve the liveability of the area. This project should not progress until all stakeholders have met and a strategy agreed with road safety, air quality and accessibility as central considerations. ORDER: Agreed. Area office to arrange meeting with all stakeholders. Emergency Motion in the name of Councillor Eimer McCormack With the deadline for submissions to the Bus Connects and Metrolink North applications rapidly approaching I would like to request the Traffic Department of DCC appear before the members and provide a report on the expected traffic impact on the Central Area, as these routes converge through the area. Bus Connects will include the routes from Swords, Blanchardstown, Ballymun and Finglas, all traversing the Central Area on route to the city centre and I feel councillors need to be made aware, in advance of submissions, of the potential for any and all eventualities for our area. Similarly, when the construction of the Metrolink begins, what traffic management plans are foreseen by DCC as being necessary and what actions will they take to alleviate congestion on our already busy streets. ORDER: Agreed Emergency Motion in the names of Cllr. Joe Costello and Cllr. Declan Meenagh That the Area Manager request that the deadline for planning submissions for the Metrolink Project be extended by two weeks as sought by the Griffith Avenue and District Residents’ Association. ORDER: Agreed. The following Motions to the Area Managers were tabled.
