MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach’s Business

"That the Chief Executive come up with solutions to (a) the dangerous traffic situation on Turret Road which was due to be calmed in 2014 but the funds were diverted to The Oval to address the situation there at the time (b) revisit The Oval as there is a need to set back the drop off point for school buses as the present situation presents dangers to school children and is causing traffic congestion/poor parking back up Turret Rd."

REPORT:

(a) This will be considered in the context of the 2016 programme.

(b) SDCC assume that what is intended by setting back is rather than moving the bus stop further away from the school, the removal of grass verge and tress and replacement with a school times bus parking area. This has the potential to make the area more hazardous for pedestrians as two way traffic will be able to flow while the bus is parked and traffic is set down on the opposite side of the road.
