Kerry County Council is very close to appointing consultants to begin the Killarney Town Centre Public Realm Project - a major plan that will change the streetscape of the town.
Last year KMD announced that they wanted to make the town “a world class urban centre”, by developing and improving the public spaces in Kenmare Place, High Street, New Street, Beech Road, Mission Road and College Street.
There will be five stages in the process; public consultation, planning, design, construction and handover.
At this week’s KMD meeting Cllr Michael Gleeson asked about the possibility of including a pedestrian crossing on Mission Road near the entrance to Killarney House.
"Following consultation with the TII, they have informed the Council the exact location of any proposed pedestrian crossing would be considered by them after the construction of the Muckross Road/Hahah Safety Scheme has been completed," KMD area engineer John Ahern said.
"Kerry County Council shortly expects to appoint consultants to begin the Killarney Town Centre Public Realm Project. It is envisaged that the location of this pedestrian crossing would form part of the Beech Road design.”
