Roundabout at Deerpark & associated works

Cllr. Tom Doherty said that he was concerned with traffic management all over town, for motorists, for pedestrians and for cyclists. He said that the tree at this proposed roundabout creates a hazard. He felt the roundabout design is not big enough to allow free flow of traffic. He welcomed that the Council intent linking the retail park road north of tesco to the road leading to McDonalds and the proposal to provide a northern link from this road the Killarney bypass. Cllr. Doherty asked if it is proposed to put traffic lights at the junction with Park road. In response the Town engineer said that a slip lane up to tesco would be provided. He said that the roundabout at Deerpark/ Park road is working well at present. Cllr. Tom Doherty said that with development taking place on the Torc site it is very important that traffic would be kept moving ass freely as possible. He said that he supports that the tree has to be removed.
