PUPILS in three Limerick City schools will be in a position to walk, wheel, or cycle to class in a safer, calmer environment this academic year following the completion of Limerickโs newest โSchool Streetโ.
The project on Laurel Hill Avenue has been undertaken by Limerick City and County Councilโs Active Travel team and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) through the Department of Transport.
The project will benefit Laurel Hill Colรกiste FCJ, Laurel Hill Secondary School, and St Clementโs College.
It follows a successful funding application from Laurel Hill Colรกiste FCJ directly to the NTA for inclusion in the first round of the Safe Routes to School Programme, an initiative led by the NTA and Green Schools.
