Positive response to our Aras Phadraig design
W
WELL, our series on innovative parking solutions has most certainly sparked debate across Killarney.
Last week when we unveiled an artist’s impression of what a multi-storey car parking facility would look like on Lewis Road, it garnered an overwhelmingly positive response.
This idea would tie in with the civic amenity proposals for the former Aras Phádraig site and incorporates the Lewis Road car and coach park.
Comments ranged from “This would be absolutely brilliant for Killarney” to “looks amazing” and “awesome!”.
Another reader noted: “Brilliant – best site for car park without impeding with traffic of Killarney.”
But yet another member of the public raised concerns about giving a “city look” to the town.
“Killarney is a town and we must remember that,” according to the reader who added “we already have a cinema and shopping malls which is more than enough”.
Lastly, another respondent agreed that “theoretically, more parking will solve traffic problems in Killarney, but it may solve parking, not traffic, the roads into and out of town are too narrow, there is already gridlock at school times, and during the summer all day”.
The debate rages on. Let us know what you think by emailing newsdesk@killarneyadvertiser.ie
