To the Cathaoirleach and each Member of the Celbridge Area Committee

Dear Cathaoirleach and Members,

The next meeting of the Celbridge Area Committee will be held at 10.15. a.m. on Monday 29th  March 2010, in the council chamber, Áras Chill Dara, Naas and you are invited to attend.

Yours sincerely,       

A.C.Talbot,
Meetings Administrator

Agenda (10.15.a.m.)

1. To approve minutes of meeting of 17 February 2010 and to note progress report.

Transportation and Public Safety (10.25.a.m.)

2. To receive report on Draft Maynooth Traffic Management Plan.

Motions
3. Councillor McGinley
That road markings be painted at the entrances to Back Lane and Pound Lane, Maynooth, as they are completely faded at present and that the missing No Entry
Sign at the entrance to Back Lane be put back on the pole, in the interest of public safety and law enforcement.

4. Councillor McGinley
That double yellow lines be painted at the large concrete projection between O'Neill Park and the bus stop (opposite Tesco) in order to prevent cars from parking there and thereby causing a blind spot for drivers emerging from O'Neill Park.

5. Councillor Murphy
We seek a report on the forthcoming Traffic Management Study for Leixlip, we ask that when the study commences that particular emphasis is paid to bus routes and traffic management around the schools on Celbridge Road, Green Lane, Captains Hill and Riverforest.

6. Councillor Murphy
That the design of the one way system on Accommodation Road, Leixlip, is done as soon as possible in order that there is sufficient time for the public consultation prior to any works proceeding in 2010.

7. Councillor Murphy
We seek a report on the use of the road sweeping machine as to the rota for 2010 and its use in unblocking storm water drains, some of which have been identified to the council by Celbridge Tidy Towns committee.

8. Councillor Byrne
Given the public interest in promoting public transport, we seek a meeting with Iarnroid Eireann to press the case for free car parking at Hazelhatch Station.

9. Councillor Byrne
That the so called promotional signs for tourists which are placed near the junction of the old Clane Road/Shackleton Road and at the Hazelhatch Road, Celbridge be removed as they are inappropriate for in-town locations, have been defaced and have lost marks for the local tidy towns committee in the yearly competition.

10. Councillor Griffin
That Kildare County Council arrange for the reinstatement of the paving slabs at the Square, Maynooth.

Questions
11. Councillor Murphy
Is the council car park off Doctors Lane, Maynooth, included on the street cleaning schedule, if not can it be added?

12. Councillor Murphy
Given the stated position that townland names are favoured why has the area of Newtown in Maynooth excluded from any signage around Bond Bridge as all six signs state Rathcoffey or Rathcoffey Road?

13. Councillor Kelly
When will construction of the pedestrian crossing at the Church of Our Lady’s Nativity, Leixlip start?  How long will this take?  How will the construction work affect traffic on Station Road?

14. Councillor Kelly
Can the Council assist Maynooth Tidy Towns in dealing with the issues raised (details supplied)?

15. Councillor McGinley
When are the traffic signals going to be installed at the junction of the Meadowbrook Link Road/Straffan Road, Maynooth?

16. Councillor Byrne
To ask the council if signage will be provided that will inform motorists coming into Celbridge on the Ardclough Road that they may get access to the Hazelhatch area, the Dublin Road, Newcastle and Dublin without having to access the gridlock bridge junction by using the new distributor road?

17. Councillor Byrne
To ask the council if refuse bins will be provided at the Dublin bus stops in Celbridge town centre and that they be funded when income becomes available from the pay parking scheme?

18. Councillor Byrne
To ask that the income from pay parking in Celbridge would be ring fenced for improved services in the Celbridge area and given that no such funds have become available after three years of operation, I wish to ask the executive what amount of money will be available this year and when will it be provided?

Housing, Community and Cultural Services (11.00 a.m.)

 Motions

That measures be taken to clean up Carton Avenue, Maynooth and that the illegal late night drinking be stopped through occasional patrols by Gardai and the prosecution of offenders.

20. Councillor Kelly
That extra trees be planted, or provided to local residents to plant in the vicinity of the entrance to Scoil na Mainistreach, Celbridge on Shackleton Road, to prevent cars mounting the footpath and causing a hazard to school children using this entrance.
