MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 26, 2016

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"That this Area Committee, as a matter of priority, examines ongoing traffic issues in areas surrounding particular schools in the Lucan area, including but not limited to, Lucan Community College, Lucan Educate Together National School, St. Mary's BNS and St Marys/St Josephs schools and were possible uses adjoin land to lessen the burden of traffic in the vicinity of such schools and reduce health and safety issues associated with such traffic."

REPORT:

"The presence of schools cause major parking and congestion issues in their proximity. Schools and parents should encourage maximum possible use of alternative means of transport rather than private vehicles. Both National and Council policy supports such modal shift and it is only in this context that progress can be achieved."
