Our PSA have been doing tremendous work campaigning for better infrastructure on our local roadways for pedestrians and cyclists alike, so that the children in our school community can get to and from school safely 🚲🛴👣 We are very grateful for our local TD @ivanabacik, and local Councillors @nollester, @carolynmoore.ie & @cllrfionaconnelly for their support, and coming to observe the traffic in our area.
You can read a little bit more about some of the traffic dangers around our school here https://www.dublininquirer.com/across-the-city-parents-snatch-their-kids-out-of-the-way-of-red-light-breaking-drivers/
As always, thank you to everyone that continues to support the campaign and report near misses on the road in our community. Here`s hoping for more permanent and logical infrastructure soon (& a traffic warden!) 🚦🚸
