MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

"That the Manager would request the Roads Department to examine the traffic situation and pedestrian safety outside the main entrance to Lucan Community College at school start and finish times and consider putting a large yellow box at the entrance to make it safer for pedestrians and to improve access for authorised vehicles to enter and leave the school car park."

REPORT:

The Council has installed 9 Traffic Calming Ramps on Esker Drive, two of which are located either side of the entrance to Lucan Community College.  It is also noted that there are two Pedestrian Crossings on this road, one of which is in close proximity to the School entrance.  There are a number of other road signs/markings that enhance safety on this road with particular reference to the School.  The Council is prepared to meet with representatives of the Parents Association to discuss their concerns regarding safety in the vicinity of the School.
