Question: Councillor D. Smith

“To ask the Manager can temporary plastic barriers be installed on the path on
the Portrane Road to protect school children walking to school, whilst such heavy
industrial traffic is using the road?”

Reply:
The provision of temporary plastic bollards on the path on the Portrane Road
would reduce the available width of the footpath for wheelchair users, parents
with buggies/prams, and make it difficult for pedestrians to pass each other
safely on the footpath. Consideration is not being given to the provision of
bollards at the present time.
