Waterford Educate Together National School– Carrickpherish Road Placemaking and traffic calming scheme

Waterford City & County Council proposes to undertake the construction of Traffic Calming and pedestrian measures on Carrickpherish Road and Paráid na bPáistí, Waterford.

The proposed scheme consists of carriageway narrowing, footpath widening, buildouts, parking restrictions and place-making, including tree pits, flower beds, and colourful school gateway elements along Carrickpherish Road and Paráid na bPáistí, Waterford. The scheme also proposes junction tightening works at the top of ParáidnabPáistí Road, which will include pedestrian crossings on each approach to the junction.

As part of the Safe Routes to School programme under Active Travel works in the area, the objective is to prioritise safe access to the school, improve school visibility through signposting and placemaking, and reduce vehicle congestion in the area, as set out on the attached drawing.

The drawing is available for inspection on Waterford City and County Council’s website www.waterfordcouncil.ie as well as on this portal (right) and is also on display in our Customer Services Departments in Bailey’s New Street in the City and Davitts Quay, Dungarvan from Wednesday 20th March 2024 to Wednesday 3rd April, 2024.

The Council will consider any submissions or observations made in writing regarding the proposal. Submissions should be lodged with James Cummins, Staff Officer, Active Travel Team, Waterford City & County Council, City Hall, Waterford or by email to activetravel@waterfordcouncil.ie to be received by 5.00pm Wednesday 3rd April .

Please note that comments, including names of those making comments, submitted to the Council regarding this process will form part of the statutorily required report to be presented at a meeting of the elected members. Accordingly, they may also appear in the public domain.
