ITEM NO. 18
Question: B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive examine the area around Rush / Lusk Train Station to
assess the best area to locate a pedestrian crossing to facilitate a safe and
protected road crossing for the large number of pedestrians exiting the trains
station on route to either the bus stop opposite or accessing the pedestrian
routes to Rush or Lusk?"
Reply:
A preliminary assessment was carried out on the R128 in the vicinity of the Rush
Lusk Train Station. The R128 at this location has an 80km\h speed limit requiring
145m of forward visibility to the nearside primary signal or for a pedestrian
stepping onto the pedestrian crossing. Due to the road geometry and existing
bridge width over the rail line 2 separate crossings would be required to
accommodate pedestrians from Rush and Lusk.
