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 pedestrian crossing improvement works at the following six locations:
R-851 Grange Road at Tramore Valley Park entrance – A new traffic signal-controlled Toucan crossing would be constructed across Grange Road. The works would include a short length of reconstructed footpath on both sides of the road, upgrades to the existing linemarking and the installation of traffic signals.
L-5077 Lower Friars Walk at Loretto Park –A raised zebra crossing with pedestrian crossing signs would be constructed on Lower Friars Walk south of Loretto Park to reduce the speed of the vehicles on approach and to provide a safer crossing facility for vulnerable road users.
R-614 Ballyhooly Road at Gordon’s Hill– A traffic signal-controlled crossing would be introduced on Ballyhooly Road immediately northeast of the junction with Gordon's Hill and close to the entrance to Glen River Park. The radii on both sides of the Gordon's Hill junction would be tightened in order to reduce the speed of turning vehicles. The existing uncontrolled pedestrian crossing of Gordon's Hill would be relocated to the south in order to reduce distance that pedestrians are required to travel to cross the road. Works at the southeast corner of the Ballyhooly Road/Gordon's Hill junction will include an upgrade of the existing footpath and a landscaped area will be constructed adjacent to the boundary wall where the existing radius is to be tightened.
L-5283 Eglantine Park at Ardfallen Estate – A raised table, junction tightening, new footpath and two zebra crossing points would be installed at the junction of Eglantine Park. The new footpath would provide pedestrian connectivity between Browningstown Park and Scoil Bhride Eglantine and the zebra crossings would allow pedestrians to safety cross Eglantine Park and Ardfallen Estate routes. The addition of two new speed tables on the approaches from Douglas Road and Browningstown Park will further contribute to traffic calming in the vicinity of the school.
L-1001 Blackrock Road at Churchyard Lane – A traffic signal-controlled pedestrian crossing would be constructed on Blackrock Road immediately west of the junction with Churchyard Lane. A speed table would be installed on Churchyard Lane to facilitate an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing across Churchyard lane. The existing narrow footpath between Churchyard Lane and Ashcroft would be widened to provide increased accessibility to the bus stop.
L1001 Blackrock Road at Barringtons Avenue – Includes an upgraded junction to a raised table to encourage reduced vehicle speeds and implementation of SLOW lane markings and pedestrian warning signs. Uncontrolled crossings will be provided on the raised table to facilitate crossing movements on Blackrock Road, Beaumont Avenue and Barringtons Avenue.
