Kerry County Council is encouraging the general public to have their say on last year’s Plunkett St pedestrianisation trials.
The Killarney Municipal District of Kerry County Council is inviting submissions, comments or observation by Friday, February 22.
In 2018, Plunkett Street was closed to traffic between the hours of 11am and 7am, seven days a week, on a trial basis, from Saturday, March 31 to Monday, April 9, both dates inclusive, Friday, May 11 to Monday, May 21, both dates inclusive and from Friday, June 29 to Monday, September 3, both dates inclusive.
Kerry County Council is now encouraging everyone including local businesses, community groups and the general public to have their say on how the pedestrianisation trials operated.
“We voted last March to introduce the trials of pedestrianisation on Plunkett Street, with the intention of assessing the impact on pedestrians, shoppers, motorists, and businesses,” Cathaoirleach of the Killarney Municipal District, Cllr John Sheahan said.
“Now we would like to hear what the people of Killarney and further afield think about this matter. This is an informal consultation with the public, but I hope that people will engage with it before we, as elected councilors, decide on any future pedestrianisation system which might apply.”
Anyone with a submission, comment or observation should email killarneymunicipaldistrict@kerrycoco.ie using Plunkett Street in the message line or write to the Killarney Municipal District Officer, Killarney Municipal District, Town Hall, Killarney before the deadline of Friday, February 22.
