Works on new Kilkenny pedestrian crossing begin

Works on a new pedestrian crossing along the Castlecomer Road, near the entrance to Glenbawn and opposite Inver Service Station have begun.

The project, which includes enhanced footpaths and traffic calming measures is being funded through the Active Travel initiative to promote safer walking and cycling options in the area.

The initiative follows a notice of motion submitted by Cllr John Coonan during the February sitting of the Kilkenny City Municipal District, which sought to improve pedestrian safety and make the area more accessible for residents. 
Designed to provide safer passage for pedestrians across a busy stretch of Castlecomer Road, especially near local amenities.
"I’m thrilled to see this much-needed project take shape,” the local Fianna Fáil councillor stated.
"This initiative is part of my continued efforts to improve the safety and accessibility of our community. The funding from the Active Travel scheme will not only enhance pedestrian safety but also promote more sustainable transport options for everyone," he added.
