The members considered the following motion in the name of Councillor McEvoy.

That the council provides an update on plans to implement the agreed reallocation of road space to improve active travel on the L1023 Ballinagappa Road, Clane. The motion was proposed by Councillor McEvoy and seconded by Councillor Feeney.

A report was received from the Transport Department informing members that this initiative has been placed on Kildare County Council’s Sustainable Transport Section’s work programme for 2025, and it is expected that the scheme will be completed in Quarter 2 of 2025. A site visit to confirm the revised layout will be undertaken with the Municipal District Engineer in March 2025 to agree the scope of works.

Councillor McEvoy noted that this was agreed last year and double yellow lines versus cycle lanes was looked at with cycle lanes being preferrable. Also, Parking signs should be replaced with no parking signs.

Mr. C Buggy, Senior Executive Engineer, Transport informed members that the Transport team could look at it, where lines were removed and burnt off the lines may still be visible. Double yellow lines would indicate no parking.

Resolved on the proposal of Councillor McEvoy, seconded by Councillor Feeney and agreed by all members that the report be noted.
