June 2016 Meeting of Carrick on Shannon Municipal District Meeting
Notice of Motions in the name of Cllr Sinead Guckian
At the June meeting of Carrick on Shannon Municipal District, I will ask the Senior Engineer what is the up to date position with traffic calming measures at Lisnagot Carrick on Shannon. Last year the Council removed a speed ramp in the vicinity of Cluain Ard and residents have raised concerns for the speed of vehicles in the area since.REPLY FROM THE SENIOR ENGINEER:
The speed ramp in the estate was removed by the developer I understand and not the county council. While this estate has not been taken in charge, once in charge, this council will consider speed ramps in housing estates once we have installed the 30 kph speed limit signs on the estate and we have monitored the speed and this shows there is a speeding problem.
