MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, October 21, 2019

QUESTION NO. 27

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO to confirm he is talking action regarding the Traffic Management issues of serious concern to the school community in Solas Chriost, Belgard and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

"Yes we are taking action in the form of the Road Safety Officer liaising with the School Principal regarding alternative proposals to reduce the demand for parking and change behaviour at this location.

SDCC understand that the main issue in play here is the parking of cars on the opposite side of Cookstown Road at drop off and pick up times.

With regard to the crossing points at the junction of Catherine Tynan Road and Cookstown Road, there are no safer alternatives to the use of the existing signals at present.  However, the Traffic Engineer will examine the light sequences to ascertain if any improvements can be made.

A warrant for a pedestrian crossing does not exist outside the school."
