Public-information session on Fossa enhancement works
Engineers and planners are this evening (Wednesday) meeting members of the public to discuss proposed changes in Fossa.
The public information session from 5pm to 7pm at Fossa Community Centre is to examine the Part 8 planning process for the proposed new cycling and pedestrian facilities at Fossa on the N72, as well as traffic calming measures.
The proposed works will include a raised two-way shared use cycle and pedestrian facility on the south side of the N72 commencing west of the N72/R563 junction and ending at the N72/L4040 junction, a raised two-way shared use cycle and pedestrian facility on the north side of the road from the western 60kph speed limit sign to beyond N72 / L4040 junction (200m) and a raised one-way cycle and pedestrian facility from the western 60kph speed limit sign to the existing bus stop within Fossa Village (420m). A reduction to approximately 6.0m for the mainline carriageway width of the N72 is proposed and removal of the existing traffic calming measures at either side of the village, provision of a Zebra type pedestrian crossing outside Fossa Primary School, extending the existing public lighting network for the full extent of the proposal and all associated ancillary and accommodation works. Upgrading the N72/L4040 junction at “Gap Cross”. and the stone wall, gates and pillars outside the community centre could be widened and offset towards the road by approximately 11m.
Plans and details of the proposed works are available for inspection or purchase until Wednesday, April 13 at Killarney Municipal District, Town Hall, Killarney, Kerry County Council, Roads, Transportation and Marine, Room 115, County Buildings, Rathass, Tralee or on www.kerrycoco.ie.
