MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That the the Chief Executive to introduce additional safety measures on Newcastle road in particular to the exit/entrance at Clubhouse facility (Weston hockey/Lucan Harriers) as this location has a high usage of traffic in the evenings and the weekends. The clubhouse traffic is restricted in its capacity to merge onto the road. To also request that the entrance at the rear of Supervalu is re-examined due to the regular car crashes at this location and its close proximity to the Clubhouse entrance"

REPORT:

"The exit/entrance to the clubhouse is located on a straight stretch of road with good sight distance in each direction. The exit has the proper signage and road markings - regulatory STOP line and STOP sign. The road on which the rear entrance to Supervalu is located is not in charge of SDCC. However, the proper signage and road markings are in place - regulatory STOP line and STOP sign. There is a YELLOW BOX on the main road to assist the exiting traffic. There is also the option for exiting vehicles wishing to go south to turn left first and go north to the roundabout and then to travel south.

The location will be kept under review.
