The first phase of deliverable projects under Carlow 2040 are underway. The Rail Link project has received planning permission and is being prepared to go out to tender.
The main Town Centre URDF bundle of projects currently consists of proposed improvements to Potato Market, Upper Tullow St., Barrack St. and Kennedy Avenue.
The overriding objectives are to deliver safer, pedestrian friendly streets, a less car-dependent town centre, better air quality, easier access, increased town centre living, an inclusive public realm with a unique urban identity, and improved general wellbeing. It will also enhance the traditional town centre to create a rejuvenated core that will provide an exceptional location for investment and development. By enhancing the vitality and vibrancy of Carlow Town Centre, it will make it more attractive for people to live, work, study, socialise and visit.
