Waterford City & County Council are planning to make changes to the traffic lights at Summerland Square in Waterford city.
This junction has 5 roads leading into it and has 6 phases in the traffic lights.
The changes we are making will ban traffic from Upper Yellow Road from turning right to Morrisons Road, ban traffic from lower yellow road from turning right to Military Road or Ozanam St, and all traffic exiting Ozanam St will have to turn left onto Military Road.
From traffic movements which are being eliminated represent a small minority of traffic movements at the junction, and eliminating these movements allows phases to run together reducing the current number of phases from 6 to 4, which will reduce the delays at the junction to the majority of the users of the junction.
More details can be seen in the attached document :
The changes come into effect from November 1st, and advance warning signs will be going up today (26th October).
The recent Tidy Towns report for Dungarvan praises the Coolagh Roundabout, even going so far as to call it art.
We think so too ! What do you think ?
Well done to all involved !
Lismore Tidy Towns launched the ‘Waterford Repair Directory’ in Lismore on Thursday last, the 6th of October.
This directory lists various businesses around Co. Waterford that can repair a range of broken items. The aim is to encourage repair and reuse as a method of reducing waste. View the full directory on www.waterfordcouncil.ie or see below to download.
The Department of the Environment and Waterford City & County Council funded Vivienne Foot, through the Local Agenda 21 Environment Partnership Fund, to compile the Repair Directory for Co. Waterford.
Speaking at the launch of the Repair Directory in Lismore last Thursday, Ella Ryan, Environment Awareness Officer with Waterford City & County Council said “The aim of the Repair Directory is to make it easier for people to consider repair as an option to extend the life cycle of an item rather than just throwing it away. As well as being important to waste management, repair and reuse are also important elements of the local economy. We are delighted to launch this directory as part of National Reuse Month.
Waterford City & County Council has commenced a programme to redevelop the landscaping on the seven roundabouts on the N25 Dungarvan Bypass.
The roundabout on the Youghal Road entrance to Dungarvan will be re-landscaped with a seaside/maritime theme. The Council’s Environment Department in partnership with the Arts Office is now inviting artists to submit proposals to work on the old sea buoy at this location using a maritime theme.
Full details and the application form are available below or by contacting the Arts Office on 058-41416. The closing date for receipt of submissions is 12 noon on Wednesday 9th November 2016.
