Dermot was quoted in today’s Evening Herald<\/a> on Minister Noel Dempsey’s<\/a> refusal to allow partial-footpath parking.\u00a0 Partial footpath parking has been used in many countries across Europe, and allows cars to be parked with two wheels on the footpath where it is wide enough to still allow full access (including buggies and wheelchairs) past the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The Herald quotes Dermot:<\/p>\n

Labour councillor Dermot Lacey was not impressed with the response.<\/p>\n

He said, in a lot of cases, residents have implemented agreements among themselves to allow for on-street parking.<\/p>\n

Restriction<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We have been trying to put order on this. We wanted to be allowed, subject to the usual checks and balances like wheelchair access, to paint a white line along the footpath whereby cars could park halfway up the footpath,” Mr Lacey said.<\/p>\n

He suggested Wilfield Road and Gilford Avenue in Sandymount would have been suitable areas to try out the new parking initiative.<\/p>\n

“They would be ideal models for this initiative. There are more and more cars and people aren’t bringing them to work as much so they are lying in an area all day. Parking congestion is now increasing,” Mr Lacey said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
