NOTICE UNDER SECTION 38 OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1994
Proposed Road Safety Improvement Works at Assumption Road, Blackpool
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 38 of the Road Traffic Act 1994, Cork City Council hereby gives notice of its intention to carry out the following traffic management measures in the interest of the safety and convenience of road users at Assumption Road, Blackpool.
It is proposed to construct a signalised pedestrian crossing just south of the former Sisters of Assumption convent, and to improve the footpaths in the vicinity of the crossing. Specifically, the works will include:
Construction of approx 6m of masonry boundary wall
Reconstruction of existing footpaths on the approaches to the proposed crossing and construction of approx 30m of additional footpath,
Installation of pedestrian crossing signal poles and heads,
Installation of road markings and warning signage,
Improvement of the existing public lighting, where necessary,
Other necessary associated ancillary 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.
Plans and particulars of the proposed scheme, including an Appropriate Assessment Screening Report and an Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Report, will be available for inspection from Friday17th July 2020 until Monday 17th August 2020:
