Councillor Ted Tynan has welcomed plans by Cork City Council for traffic calming and road safety measures at Boherboy Road and at its junction with Ashmount estate.
Cllr. Tynan, who has being calling for these measures for several years, said that the plan would greatly contribute to road safety in the area but said that drivers had a responsibility also to slow down and take care in what is a residential area.

“The plans drawn up by the Roads Design Division at City Council include the installation of round-top ramps at two points on Boherboy Road – one up from the Silversprings Road end entrance and the other at the junction with Ashmount. The plan will also involve the re-alignment of the road near Ashmount to improve driver visibility”.
Councillor Tynan has also called on the council to take a look at Silverheights Road with a view to making it safer.
Meanwhile Cllr. Tynan has also called on Cork City Council to develop an enclosed green area at Ashmount, Mayfield and turn it into a children's play area.
The Workers Party councillor called on Cork City Council to take charge of the enclosed green area known locally as “the cage” and to develop it into a children’s playground. “This large enclosure, which was the location of the site office during the building of Ashmount, has been handed over to the council in trust for the local community by the former developer, it should now be developed to provide suitable play area for the children of the area", said Cllr. Tynan.
"This is an ideal location for a playground in an area where it is needed and I have submitted a motion to Cork City council calling for this to be done as soon as possible”, said Cllr. Tynan
