Roundabout plan to solve traffic issues
By Sean Moriarty
A new roundabout is to be built at the Upper Lissivigeen/Coolcaslagh junction with the N22 Cork Road.
Traffic issues at the junction were constantly pushed by the now-retired Cllr Michael Gleeson and he handed the mantle to his nephew John O’Donoghue last month.
Cllr O’Donoghue took part in his first Killarney Municipal District meeting where he received news that signalled the beginning of the end of his uncle’s long campaign.
“Preliminary designs have been undertaken on roundabout proposals and these are being discussed with the Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) before submitting a Feasibility and Options Report recommending a solution at this location,” a Council official told the meeting. “The introduction of Active Travel measures at this location are also being examined as part of the proposals. Landowner consultation is also ongoing in relation to proposals.”
Local TII engineer Paul Curry will provide an update to the elected members at the September Killarney Municipal District Meeting.
