N28 Carr/s Hill Shannonpark Overlay Scheme/N28 Traffic Calming Scheme

At our recent Area Roads Committee for December and January we discussed the above issues and requested council correspond with the National Roads Office to obtain an update.  The situation is as follows, in relation to the Overlay scheme tenders have been received and assessed and a recommendation has been made to the NRA.  A decision is awaited from them.  In relation to the traffic calming scheme, given the volume of traffic the Projects Manager considers that, subject to funding, the N28 at both Shannonpark and Shanbally should be reassessed to optimise traffic flows. We, as councillors, have previously decided that the signalisation of the Shannon Park Roundabout wouldnt yield any benefits and refused sanction for same.
