AHEAD of the upcoming school term, Social Democrats councillor Elisa O’Donovan has urged the Council to liaise with Laurel Hill, St Clement’s, Scoil Mhathair De, and An Mhodh Scoil for a designated school drop off and pick up area to accommodate students.
Vehicular traffic, she claimed, is causing significant safety issues on South Circular Road, O’Connell Avenue, and other roads close to these schools.
In response, the Council’s Active Travel team acknowledged the safety concerns raised due to increased vehicular traffic on South Circular Road, O’Connell Avenue and, surrounding areas.
“As part of the construction works and proposed design, the project manager for the South Circular Road will liaise with the respective schools,” the Council said.
