A pedestrian crossing is to be constructed at Water Lane in Tullamore
TULLAMORE is to get three new pedestrian crossings. These will be located on Patrick’s Street, Kilbride Street and Water Lane.
All three are busy areas of the town and work is set to begin after St Patrick’s Day, said senior executive engineer with Offaly County Council John Connelly, at this month’s Tullamore municipal district meeting.
The need for a pedestrian crossing at Kilbride Street in Tullamore was highlighted at the September meeting of the Tullamore municipal district meeting, by Councillor Sean O’Brien.
Cllr O’Brien proposed that a crossing be installed from Fox’s shop over to the far side of the road.
"It’s a very wide road and the traffic comes very fast off the Clara Bridge and then there is traffic coming out of town and from Pearse Park and Marian Place," he said.
The local councillor said a number of near-misses have been reported and people are fearful of crossing the road there. "For safety and convenience, I would be very keen that we could progress with that," he said.
