It was resolved on the proposal of Cllr. Tom Doherty, "That this Council call on the National Roads Authority to re investigate its time frame for a roundabout at the Cork/ KIllarney/ Mallow intersection at lissivigeen. In 2001 the number of cars traveling this road on a daily basis was 14,000. This figure has increased twofold. With long tail backs from the Mallow road and the close proximity of a national school the NRA fails to support its own mission statement which is "to contribute to sustainable transport by developing and maintaining a safe and efficient network on national roads, in partnership with local authoeities and the private sector.
Cllr. Tom Doherty said that this is a important gateway into the town. He said the dangers in this area have been highlighted previously. He said that it was important that we write to the NRA advising in relation to the close proximity to the school, accidents which occur at this junction and the long tailbacks of traffic which are taking placed. Cllr. Tom Doherty said that the NRA is failing to support its own safety statements.
