MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, January 23, 2017

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to install pedestrian crossing flashing lights outside St Aidan's primary school, for the purpose of slowing down traffic that is impacting on the School Warden from carrying out her duties of getting children across the road safely.  Additionally, again calls on the Chief Executive to instate drop off points outside the school.  Also, this Area Committee recognises and welcomes the traffic calming measures that have previously been put in place."

REPORT:

"A meeting was held with the Principals of the Junior and Senior schools on this site and the Road Safety Officer on Jan 16th. The main concern outlined was the traffic congestion around the school car park. They were requesting set down areas but as this would not support sustainable transport it would not be recommended.

It was suggested that to alleviate congestion at the school a 'park & stride' facility or walking bus should be utilised. Schools will bring these proposals to their respective boards."
