I do not support the re-zoning of the grass verge adjacent to DCU lands, Griffith Avenue Dublin 9 from Z9 to white lands. This re-zoning would disrupt the consistency of the Z9 zoning along Griffith Ave which is integral to protecting the tree lined character of this most historic avenue. It must also be preserved as a Z9 zoning to protect the environmental community activities - this verge, like all verges along the Ave, is used annually for leaf mulching. This activity also significantly contributes to the safety of pedestrians and cyclists using the Ave as local residents consistently collect the avalanche of fallen leaves that present a huge slip hazard on the footpaths and cycle lanes. Re-zoning this verge to white lands leaves this particular stretch of verge open to abuse and compromises its protection as an open green amenity.
