Councillor Pádraig McEvoy


Question:


Can the council update the committee on whether it plans to install bollards near Scoil Bhride, Scoil Phádraig, and Scoil Mhuire, Clane to protect pupils, their parents, and other pedestrians from the recurring issues created by vehicle drivers who illegally mount and park on the public footpaths?


Report:


The Municipal District Engineer has inspected the area and is arranging for pencil bollards to be installed along this widened footpath to prevent vehicles from parking on it.


Issued by: M McLoughlin, Senior Executive Officer, Transport, Mobility and Open Spaces.


Debate:


Parents of pupils walking to school have raised concerns about the risks taken by drivers mounting their vehicles to park on the footpath beside pedestrians and the blockage of sight lines to vehicles moving on the R403 Prosperous Road, Clane.
