Mr. Conn Donovan:

I thank the Deputy for his question. It is important, if we are developing new communities that we do not use these as a pretext to deliver more road infrastructure and that we think about what sort of communities those houses are going to be based around. If we are building a community where we have aspirations that 70% to 80% of the trips will not be taken by car, why are we then providing road infrastructure to justify or pass through that development? Part of the problem is that investment is realised when infrastructure is coming along, where it may be seen as an opportunity to fix some issues around a city but it is very important that we look at what is best practice in other countries. If we are asking people not to live with a car or have a car-lite experience, that we do not then subject them to a high car environment.
