Accessible Streets or Lost Trees | Waterford News

Waterford’s Accessible Neighbourhood Project aims to transform Lismore Park and Lisduggan with new walking and cycling routes, safer junctions, and upgraded paths — but locals are pushing back. Concerns include rising scooter-related anti-social behavior, dangerous blind spots for drivers, and the controversial removal of century-old trees on Paddy Browne’s Road, which residents say would devastate local wildlife and scenery. While Uisce Éireann has no major objections, they insist on being consulted during final design to protect water infrastructure. Public feedback closes September 2nd — as the council weighs whether active travel benefits outweigh community and environmental costs.
