MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 12, 2024

MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor M. Lynch

Can the location of the lollipop person station on Knocklyon Road (beside Coolamber Park) currently beside the Applegreen petrol station be reviewed as reports from some parents state that the location means that children are left to cross a second busy junction after the initial crossing. 

REPORT:

The Council has recently assessed this location which is within a housing estate and it has been determined that it lacks controlled crossing and tactile indicators.

While it is not advised to move the location of the School Warden Crossing on Knocklyon Road, the possibility of installing a raised uncontrolled pedestrian crossing across from the small path to enhance clarity and safety for pedestrian is being examined.
