Tipperary County Council intends to develop the Nenagh Urban Greenway which commences adjacent to the Lisbunny Industrial Estate where it follows the route of the existing informal walkway along the eastern bank of the river. The path crosses the Lower Birr Road at the existing masonry road bridge and continues north along the western bank of the River.
The proposed works consist of the construction of a segregated pedestrian and cycle surface, on both sides of the R445, a reduction of road widths to a minimum of 6.0m, along the R445, in the townland of Gortybrigane and Birdhill, Co. Tipperary. The scheme extents are from a tie-in point with the emerging Killaloe Bypass/Shannon Crossing/R494 Improvement Scheme development just north of the existing Birdhill roundabout in the east, to the 50kph/60kph demarcation on the R445 to the west of Birdhill Village.
In summary the proposed scheme involves the provision of:

Description:
The proposed project will maximise the potential of the Nenagh Historic and Cultural Quarter (NHCQ) and its contribution to Nenagh as a successful and sustainable visitor destination. The Quarter is located in the centre of Nenagh and comprises a number of historic buildings set around Banba Square and O’Rahilly Street. The principal landmark buildings are the Castle and Gaol. It is proposed that the visitor experiences offered at these two sites be significantly upgraded.
Tipperary County Council is preparing a new Local Area Plan for Nenagh, which will set out the land use strategy for the town to ensure the town can grow, support employment and homes and can do so sustainably and successfully.
The Council is inviting submissions from the public to identify priorities and help shape the future development of the town. This stage represents the ‘issues’ stage before a draft of the local area plan is published. An Issues Paper has been produced to help inform submissions and is available on this webpage.
The Issues Paper sets out:
