That the Manager would present a detailed report for discussion on the Council's plans to introduce safe pedestrian access to the N4 for public transport and Liffey Valley, for residents, particularly those residents living on the St. Loman's Road and Ballyowen Road and Ballyowen Lane, Lucan areas. I have submitted a draft drawing for consideration at this meeting in the interest of progressing this issue. The lack of safe pedestrian access at this location poses a daily and serious threat to the health and safety of all pedestrians in this area, including children, particularly owing to the busy and dangerous Fonthill Road and St. Loman's Road junction.

Further to the reply to my question at the November meeting, to thank the Manager for agreeing to the installation of traffic lights at the junction of Hillcrest and Newcastle Roads. This will be of significant benefit in alleviating the lengthy traffic tailbacks faced up to now by Hillcrest residents. However in noting concerns raised by the management and parents of St. Thomas NS and Scoil Aine Naofa over the pedestrian safety implications of these works, this committee requests the Manager to present proposals on ensuring improved pedestrian safety at this location including the possibility of either retaining the existing pedestrian crossing outside St. Patrick's Church and sequencing it with the new traffic lights and/or installing pedestrian guard-railing along both sides of Newcastle Road between the existing and proposed new crossing point to prevent children from crossing this busy road at unsafe locations.
