Young People and the Built Environment: Carlow Educate Together

Mr. Aidan Gammell:

I have just one thing to say. When we were walking around town we noticed that there is street parking all along the paths. There are car parking spaces all along the street and there could be a massive multistorey car park 200 m or 300 m away. I was thinking that we could remove some of those parking spaces because there are multistorey car parks a short walk away and then we could widen the footpaths or put in bike lanes. When we take our walk around town we notice that there are some newly installed bike lanes and that there are a lot of bike lanes around the outskirts of the town. Then, especially on busy streets like Dublin Street and Tullow Street, where there would be a lot of people walking, there are no cycle lanes. A lot of people have to cycle through the town and they have to cycle on the outskirts because of the lack of cycle lanes in the town centre.
