MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to present a report on the school-time traffic management and parking management situation at Esker Lane (including Esker Park, Esker Lodge & Esker Glebe estates); and Castle Road (including Esker Meadows estate) following the opening of the new Esker Educate Together NS; and further requests installation of necessary traffic management and parking measures including yellow lines and box markings, bollards and signage as proposed by residents."

REPORT:

The new school has only recently opened and is being monitored in terms of the impact on local roads. Current arrangements appear to be working satisfactorily and these may need to be tweaked over time. A number of site visits have taken place and there has been some discussion with the principals of both the new educate together school and Scoil Padraig as well as the contractor. It is proposed to provide new raised footpaths on Castle road during the mid term break with associated signage and marking. Currently there is no need for additional yellow lines and box markings bollards in the locations mentioned.
