One disappointing aspect of the proposal is the lack of inclusion of safe crossing points in the form of either zebra crossings or traffic-lighted crossings at points surrounding the school where path continuance has been included (Clontarf Place, O'Curry Street, St. Gerard's Street and St. Alphonsus Street). Please consider including this in your final plans as it would greatly enhance safety during our school community’s daily commute.
We performed a parental survey covering our 217 student population earlier this year whose findings showed that almost half of our students walk to school daily. Three quarters of respondents found that road safety in the vicinity of the school was a persistent issue with almost all surveyed in support of works that would improve walking and cycling approach routes to the school. Please feel free to contact us for further information regarding this survey.
