Dear Parents/Guardians,

Dublin City Council have a School Zone initiative which aims to reduce congestion and increase safety at the front of schools.

The initiative would highlight the presence of the school, encourage traffic to slow down in a School Zone area, encourage drivers not to park on footpaths and encourage cars to make drop-offs outside the School Zone area and not to stop there.

If St. Gabriel’s N.S. applied for and was granted this initiative, it would entail line-markings stating ‘School Zone’, colourful red and yellow circles on the road on Cowper Street and pencil-shaped bollards on the footpath outside the school.

Please find further information HERE.

We would appreciate any opinions you may have on this intitative. Please send any comments to principal@stgabrielsns.ie or to 087 123 1750.
