Radical approach needed to solve Killarney traffic
A radical approach needs to be taken with regard to traffic solutions for Killarney and the county of Kerry as a whole, if we are to ensure that we do not get the name for snarled up traffic congestion, according to Fianna Fáil TD, Michael Cahill.
“Obviously, the provision of the Killarney to Farranfore bypass is vital as the centrepiece of the entire plan, to give options to drivers who are going about their business in Kerry. But there is so much more that must be done, I feel planning for new access points within Killarney town itself and on the existing bypass there, need to be moved on urgently and a host of smaller projects should also be brought on board, to ensure we get this right,” said Deputy Cahill.
“Projects such as a pedestrian access within the joint campus of the train and bus stations in Killarney, and the relocation of the Farranfore Railway Station closer to Kerry Airport are but two of a host of possibilities” said the Rossbeigh TD.
“Another crossing of the Laune River at Killorglin to cater for the enormous amount of traffic, both private and commercial that enters and exits South Kerry on a daily basis. The Listowel Bypass was recently completed to complement the works done in Tralee in recent years. Now it is time to deliver the full project on the N86 Dingle to Tralee Road and to open up Killarney to Farranfore and also South Kerry with a modern road network. I also believe that a high-rise carpark must now be looked at in Killarney at,” said Cahill.
