NOTICE UNDER SECTION 38 OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1994 (AS AMENDED)
SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL – ST. JOSEPHS NATIONAL SCHOOL
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 38 of the Road Traffic Act 1994 (as amended), Cork City Council hereby gives notice of its intention to carry out various safety improvement measures to improve pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and the front of school environment at St. Josephs National School, St. Josephs View, Riverstown, Glanmire as part of the Safe Routes to School programme.
The main features of the proposed works are as follows:
Signage to highlight the implementation of a “SCHOOL STREET” with restricted local vehicle access during set operational hours.
Extension of the existing paved congregation area at the front of school.
The provision of a segregated congregation area to include artwork/street furniture at the Front of School area.
The provision of road markings to highlight a shared cyclist/vehicle carriageway.
Junction tightening to facilitate uncontrolled courtesy crossings.
The provision of raised table crossings on St Saint Joseph’s View.
The provision of a continuous footpath across the school vehicle entrance.
The provision of a 3m wide shared use footpath at the Front of School area.
The implementation of a one-way traffic system, flowing South to North on St. Josephs View.
The implementation of a one-way traffic system, flowing North to South on Marble Park.
The implementation of a one-way traffic system, flowing West to East on St. Josephs View (west).
Road realignment including narrowing of the carriageway to facilitate traffic calming.
Other necessary associated ancillary works.
In accordance with the Habitats Directive, an Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening has been carried out on the proposed scheme, in relation to any potential impacts upon the Cork Harbour Special Protection Area [Site No. 004030] and the Great Island Channel Special Area of Conservation [Site No. 001058]. The findings of the AA screening noted that no significant effects on any Natura 2000 sites are likely, and it was not necessary to undertake any further stage of the Appropriate Assessment process. In addition, the proposed scheme has been screened to determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required, and it has been concluded that there will be no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed scheme and that an EIA is not required.
Plans and particulars of the proposed works will be available for public inspection from Tuesday 09th of April 2024 until Monday 13th of May 2024.
