The first public consultation for the N11/M11 Junction 4 to Junction 14 Improvement Scheme was held on Tuesday 11th December in the Glenview Hotel, Glen of the Downs, Co. Wicklow. As a ‘blank canvas’ display, the purpose of this first consultation was to inform the public of the proposed study area for the scheme and the processes that will be followed through each phase of the planning for the scheme. The consultation consisted of a number of display boards and constraints mapping along with a scheme brochure and comment sheet. Members of the Arup Project Team, alongside staff from Wicklow County Council and Kildare Roads Design Office (Scheme Project Managers), explained the existing transport problems in the study area and confirmed that no solutions had yet been agreed and that all reasonable alternatives would be assessed to identify the correct solution. The project team were on hand to answer the public’s questions on the process and also invited input from those interested or affected by the scheme. Approximately 200 people signed the attendance register on the day and overall support for an improved transport solution in the corridor was very strong.
