Councillor proposed closing off Main Street to cars during certain days and times.
Talks on temporary pedestrianisation of Celbridge Main Street are to take place.
It follows a motion before the May meeting of the area's Municipal District.
Green Cllr., Vanessa Listen, called for at least one car free Sunday on Main Street in Celbridge from June-September.
She's been speaking to Kildare Today.
Kildare County Council's response:
"The current request to close Main Street, Celbridge, albeit on a temporary basis, would need to be cognisant of the impact this would have on vehicular movement, particularly on public transport, access arrangements and emergency access facilities.
The statutory procedures for a Temporary Road Closure will need to be undertaken. This process requires advertising, public consultation etc. and takes approximately 8 weeks to complete, meaning the earliest the closure could come into effect would be late July/early August.
Warning signage, detour signage would be required in accordance with Traffic Management Plan for the temporary closure should it proceed. The signage will need to be put in place at suitable locations and removed at the end of each closure period.
As the closure would attract additional footfall to the area, it could lead to an increase in littering. It will not be possible to provide any increased street cleaning/bin collection service should this occur."
Cllr. Liston joined Eoin Beatty on Thursday's edition of the programme, to discuss all of her motions before the May meeting of the Celbridge/Leixlip Municipal District
