Plan to develop retail hub despite traffic problems
An ambitious 20-year blueprint for the development of the Mahon peninsula says it can accommodate a population increase of 7,000 and can handle 2,850 new residential units and 8,000 new workers.
This is despite National Road Authority concerns that extra travel demand on the N40 South Link Rd results in unacceptable levels of congestion or queuing at the Mahon interchange.
