ROAD safety measures including raised tables and pedestrian crossings are on the way for Milford town.
Council officials confirmed that the Regeneration and Design team is procuring a designer for a scheme towards Lower Milford Main Street and the town’s Public Services Centre.
This comes after Cllr Liam Blaney called for the measures to be funded at yesterday’s meeting of the Letterkenny-Milford Municipal District (MD).
The Fianna Fáil councillor said it was “positive” to hear that the council is moving forward with road safety measures for Milford, with funding from the Town and Village Renewal Fund programme.
He cited safety for schoolchildren and said raised tables were “as important” as pedestrian crossings.
The motion was seconded by the Cathaoirleach, Independent Cllr Pauric McGarvey.
Senior Executive Engineer, David McIlwaine said: “This design will include consideration of locations for raised tables and pedestrian crossings.
“When designs are complete, funding opportunities for installation will be examined.”
Mr McIlwaine added that Active Travel projects can be considered for the wider area once the design of the initial road safety scheme is finalised.
