MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 14, 2022

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor David McManus

That this area committee requests the Chief Executive to consider the appointment of a school traffic warden to assist in the management of traffic and parents with children, for Divine Word N.S. in the Hermitage estate, Grange Road Rathfarnham?

REPORT:

An assessment process is required to determine need for assisted school crossings, with a priority rating 1-4.

The School Warden Service will be subject to a review during Q2 2022, and as part of that review counts will be undertaken at each of the existing 95 School Crossing locations to identify the number of primary school children using the crossing. In addition, several counts will be undertaken at Primary Schools that have recently requested an assessment to be made on their request for a School Crossing. 

The Road Safety Officer has not received correspondence directly from the Divine Word N.S. regarding possible appointment of a School Warden. However, if the precise location deemed to warrant a School Crossing is provided this can be included in the assessment referred to above.
