Kilkenny County Council’s seeking feedback on plans for a new road on the county border with Waterford city.
The local authority’s given notice under a Part 8 public consultation process of its intention to develop a 940m South-North Access point in Ferrybank from the end of the access road serving Clover Meadows to the one serving Abbeygate / Ross Abbey Shopping Centre.
The development would include a traffic-signal controlled crossroads northeast of the Abbeygate Roundabout and another southeast of the Belmont Road Roundabout.
It would also see a road over-bridge over the Ferrybank to New Ross Greenway, new pedestrian and cyclist facilities, provision for future bus-stops and provision for a new car-park for the Greenway accommodating cars, buses, bicycles, toilets and e-charging facilities. A link to the Greenway from the car-park will be provided with public lighting along the new South-North access route and to the Greenway car-park.
The plans can be viewed until Friday, 11th October at the Planning Office in County Hall, Kilkenny and at the Municipal District Office in Ferrybank as well as online via consult.kilkenny.ie.
Submissions or observations may be made online too, or in writing to the Planning Section, Kilkenny County Council, County Hall, John Street, Kilkenny – you can also e-mail [email protected] Closing date for these is Friday, 25th October.
