MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor C. Keane

Cathaoirleach's Business

That this Committee recommends that two bollards be erected adjacent to (address supplied) in Pearse Br. Park - open space - where car crashed into and damaged side of house; residents (and young child) are terrified of reoccurance. This is no ordinary open space area, it is in line with T junction and very vunerable to such enchroachments therefore a barrier is very necessary.

REPORT:

A site investigation was carried out, it was evident that the cause of the incident had nothing to do with the condition or state of the road at this location.  However, to further highlight the junction, chevron signage in addition to a yield sign has been installed.  Yield markings are yet to be installed, this work will be carried out shortly by our lining contractor.

The Parks department have reported that there is no record of major anti social activity in this estate nor has there been a demand for barriers or boundary walls to be installed at this location prior to this date.
