The purpose of this Mobility Management Plan is to define an over-arching mobility management strategy than can be further refined by the eventual tenants to optimise the uptake of sustainable transport modes. The mobility management plan will ensure the realisation of the following objectives: • to encourage the use of sustainable modes of transport; • to reduce dependency on lone travel by private car; • to promote the use of public transport, car sharing, cycling, and walking. 1.1 Background Roughan & O’Donovan has been engaged to undertake a Transport Impact Asssessment for the proposed mixed-use development at The Goat Grill site in Goatstown. Following initial consultations with the Transportation Department of Dún Laoghaire - Rathdown County Council, this Mobility Management Plan has been prepared to augment the TIA by setting out the measures necessary to maximise travel by public transport, walking, cycling or car sharing during the operational phase of the development, thereby reducing the need for car use. 1.2 Description of Proposed Development The proposed development includes 299 new apartments (comprising a mix of 1- bed, 2-bed, and 3-bed units), a new hotel with 22 bedrooms, ancillary creche and retail uses, a Plaza area and 475 parking spaces. Of the 475 parking spaces, 125 will be allocated to the Goat Pub Complex (a reduction from c. 180 existing spaces), 22 to the proposed hotel, 5 to the proposed creche and the remaining 323 allocated for residential use. 1.3 Site Location The site is located in Goatstown, Dublin 14. The site is approximately 1.87 ha in area and is bounded by the R112 Taney Road to the North, R825 Lower Kilmacud Road to the east, Drummartin Terrace to the south and Birchfield housing estate to the west. The site location is shown in Appendix A to this report. 1.4 Site Access Vehicular and pedestrian access to the site will be from the R112 Taney Road and from the R825 Drummartin Road. 19.115 February 2021 Page 1 Page 7 Roughan & O'Donovan Mixed-use Development at the Goat Grill, Goatstown Consulting Engineers Mobility Management Plan 2 PLANNING CONTEXT 2.1 Background This Mobility Management Plan has been prepared with reference to the following documents: • Smarter Travel: A Sustainable Transport Future 2009 – 2020; • National Cycle Policy Framework, 2009; • Dún Laoghaire – Rathdown County Development Plan 2016-2022; • The Greater Dublin Area Cycle Network Plan 2.2 Smarter Travel: A Sustainable Transport Future 2009 - 2020 This policy document sets its key targets for sustainable transport as: • Future population and employment growth will predominantly take place in sustainable compact forms, which reduce the need to travel for employment and services; • Nationally, 500,000 more people will take alternative means to commute to work to the extent that the total share of car commuting will drop from 65% to 45%; • Alternatives such as walking, cycling and public transport will be supported and provided to the extent that these will rise to 55% of total commuter journeys to work; • The total kilometres travelled by the car fleet in 2020 will not increase significantly from current levels; • A reduction will be achieved on the 2005 figure for greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector. 2.3 National Cycle Policy Framework 2009 The Government is committed to developing cycling as one of the most desirable modes of travel, it being good for your health, the economy and the environment. This National Cycle Policy Framework sets out objectives to the year 2020 to achieve its vision. The vision is that all cities, towns, villages and rural areas will be bicycle friendly. Cycling will be a normal way to get about, especially for short trips. Next to walking, cycling will be the most popular means of getting to school, university, college and work. The bicycle will be the transport mode of choice for all ages. We will have a healthier and happier population with consequent benefits on the health service. We will all gain economically
