MOTION NO. 17

MOTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

To ask the Manager to install pedestrians safety barriers at the bottom of the pathway that leads up to Firhouse Educate Together NS or some kind of ramp to help slow speed of students exiting the school and heading to the Ballycullen Drive road.

REPORT:

The footpath in question has a fall of 1.75m and is approx 70m in lenght. This equates to an average gradient of 2.5% which is not considered to be in anyway excessive.

However, following an examination of the crossing it is proposed that an improved unsignalised crossing point will be provided at a location near the existing crossing and that a barrier will be installed to encourage users to the new crossing point of the road.
