"STILL NO SAFE CROSSING
FOR RESIDENTS ALONG
JOHNSTOWN ROAD"
March 2006
Having previously raised this issue in October 2005, local Councillor Cormac Devlin has asked the Council to install a pedestrian crossing along Johnstown Road:
To ask the Manager, following up on my question (October 2005), can details of the pedestrian count be given to Members as a result of the requested pedestrian crossing for Johnstown Road?
Reply:
A pedestrian count was carried out on Johnstown Road, which covered the stretch of road between Oakdale and Granitefield.
During the one-hour period 08:30 – 09:30, ten pedestrians crossed the road. 15:00 – 16:00, eight pedestrians and 16:00 – 17:00, thirteen pedestrians.
These figures are well below the warrant figure of ninety pedestrians per hour, which is required to ensure efficient and safe operation of a signalised crossing.
As previously stated, further monitoring of pedestrian movements will be carried out in the light of any future residential development.
