NOTICE UNDER SECTION 38 OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1994 (AS AMENDED)
Proposed Signalised Pedestrian Crossing Facility on Old Youghal Road in the vicinity of Scoil Cara Junior School
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 38 of the Road Traffic Act 1994 (as amended) Cork City Council hereby gives notice of its intention to carry out the following road safety improvement works on the Old Youghal Road in the vicinity of Scoil Cara Junior School in the interests of safety and convenience of pedestrians. Specifically, the works will comprise the following:
Modification of road markings, installation of new road markings and the provision of road traffic signage.
Installation of tactile paving and alterations to footpath at either side of the crossing
All associated ancillary site works.
In accordance with the Habitats Directive, an Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening has been carried out on the proposed scheme, in relation to any potential impacts upon the Cork Harbour Special Protection Area [Site No. 004030] and the Great Island Channel Special Area of Conservation [Site No. 001058]. The findings of the AA screening noted that no significant effects on any Natura 2000 sites are likely and it was not necessary to undertake any further stage of the Appropriate Assessment process. In addition, the proposed scheme has been screened to determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required and it has been concluded that there will be no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed scheme and that an EIA is not required.
