<h3>Work will begin next week on the construction of the long-awaited pedestrian crossing on Countess Road.</h3>
Cllr Brendan Cronin said that he has received confirmation from the Killarney MD Roads Department that the works will progress.
 The crossing is adjacent to the entrance to Countess Grove, Muckross Grove and Dromhale Close.
 &#8220;Following a meeting with local residents in early 2019, I initiated the need for this crossing and have been working relentlessly on this important public safety project,&#8221; he told the Killarney Advertiser.
 &#8220;I welcome the news that all matters have been agreed and finalised with adjacent land owners for the works to proceed.&#8221;
 He added that the requirement for a proper pedestrian crossing at this location is vital for the pedestrian safety of this substantial residential area on a very busy road which also accesses a major primary school.
 &#8220;I am delighted to have contributed &euro;5,000 to this project and also wish to acknowledge the contributions from other members of the Municipal District.&#8221;
