MOTION NO.6

MOTION: Councillor R. Mannion

To ask the Manager whether a pedestrian/active travel safety audit can be carried out for the area surrounding St Colmcille's Community School with a view to improving markings. Cyclists and walkers converge on narrow paths at peak times, as well as an S8 bus stop alighting directly onto the cycle path.

REPORT:

The section of Scholarstown Road located at St Colmcille’s Community School is included in the Part 8 public consultation for the Knocklyon to Ballyboden Active and Sustainable Travel Scheme. All documents can be viewed, and and relevant submissions made, on the consultation portal’s project page until 13 March 2026 at 17:00.

In relation to the portion of Scholarstown Road directly in front of St Colmcille’s Community School — including the bus stop that serves the S8 bus route — the proposal is to retain the existing road and bus stop layout without changes.
