Kerry County Council added: The three-metre wide paved surface greenway will run from the townland of Reenard southwest of Caherciveen to the townland of Faha west of Glenbeigh. The Council will continue to engage with landowners throughout the process and a dedicated information line will be made available.” The scheme impacts on 222 landholdings and 197 landowners and was the subject of extensive public consultation over the past decade. The council said: “If confirmed by An Bord Pleanála, the CPO will allow Kerry County Council to acquire the land necessary for the project. It is one of the viewed to be the first greenway in Ireland to use the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) process for the acquisition of the privately-owned lands to allow the council to develop the greenway. I n Caherciveen, rather than providing a greenway suitable for urban usage including between housing estates and schools and workplaces, the council mixes the greenway route on a local road. But the council has gone against those documents at junctions and not having 10 metres space between junctions and, in many locations, having fences or dips right beside the greenway path.

The Greenway Strategy outlines how routes should follow the TII Rural Cycleway Design (Offline) for rural sections and the NTA’s Cycle Manual on urban sections.
Last week Kerry County Council lodged the planning application for theSouth Kerry Greenway with An Bord Pleanála. The 32km route runs from Glenbeigh to Reenard in south Kerry. Cyclists to be asked to dismount outside pub and two houses.ĭetail designs for the South Kerry Greenway - which follows part of the Ring of Kerry - shows that Kerry County Council have gone against the Greenway Strategy just weeks after it was published. Greenway gives up in Caherciveen, mixes with motor traffic. Chicanes and yield signs at private driveways. Gate-chicanes closer to junctions than recommend in guidelines.
