Upgrades to pedestrian facilities on John Joe Sheehy Road in Tralee are expected to begin next year, Radio Kerry reported. Tralee municipal district engineer Brian Hickey confirmed the schedule in response to a student deputation. [1]
Students from the National Learning Network, based at Eden Court on John Joe Sheehy Road, brought the deputation to the municipal district. Sinn Féin councillors Deirdre Ferris and Paul Daly requested the presentation on behalf of the students. [1]
The students highlighted safety issues along the route. Christina Hannen, the assistant chairperson of the students union, told the chamber that students arriving at the nearby railway and bus stations currently face missing footpaths and lack a designated pedestrian crossing. [1][3]
A pedestrian crossing is a designated location designed for pedestrians to safely cross a street or road. As FTMQ News reported earlier, infrastructure investments across County Kerry have also recently targeted community centres and higher education campuses. [3][4][5]
