COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 24, 2011

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager yet again if we would finally agree to install a signalised pedestrian crossing on Griffeen Avenue at Oldbridge Estate on the basis that a crossing at this location could reliably be expected to increase the overall number of pedestrians crossing Griffeen Avenue and in particular to increase the numbers of children (and parents) from Oldbridge, Rossberry, Tullyhall and Hayden’s Park estates walking to Griffeen Valley Educate Together NS given that approximately 100 children from these four estates attend that school.

REPLY: 

A traffic and pedestrian count will be carried out at this location to establish the degree of pedestrian demand.

It is hoped that the count can be scheduled before the end of the current school year.

It should be noted that a school warden service in provided near the school.
