Plan to ‘enhance’ Killarney would favour pedestrians

Work to make Killarney more pedestrian-friendly is to continue, but plans stop short of actually covering streets to protect people from the elements.

Last year, there were proposals to cover at least one town centre street at certain times, but proposals before Killarney Town Council are for smaller canopies that would also be used for open-air events and festivals.

Town clerk Michael O’Leary presented a plan to the council that includes widening footpaths, a one-way traffic system, and the provision of covered space on Main St, which is already part-pedestrianised.
