Cllr. Ivan Keatley brought forward the motions at the Athy MD.
Cllr. Ivan Keatley of Fine Gael has asked the council to arrange for the members of the Athy Municipal District to meet with the council’s Active Travel Team in order to progress various cycle and walking measures raised by the members, such as a link between Calverstown and Ballyshannon (L8007-2).
The council has said that two of the potential projects are being proposed and will be decided in the new year.
He asked the council to examine both signalised and unsignalized junctions with a view to improving crossing facilities for vulnerable road users.
Subject to funding being made available, a limited number of locations in each municipal district area will be identified for examination;
Athy R417 North-South Cycle Track Scheme – this scheme is planned to start at the Ardreigh Road/Carlow Road junction and continue to the north of the Education Campus on the Monasterevin Road.
It said consultants will be appointed in Quarter 1 of 2022 to progress the design of this scheme, subject to funding being approved.
The Head of the Section will attend the January meeting to brief members and discuss the scope and remit of the team.
Councillor Ivan Keatley That the council put the L6094 (Dunlavin to Kilgowan Road) on the road works schedule for 2022 to improve the road surface and sight lines.
Athy Municipal District Office can put the L-6094 on the Restoration Maintenance Program for 2022.
There are no plans to improve sightlines as this would require a full design, land acquisition and a source of funding to be identified.
However, the council has advised there will be some patch work done on the road in 2022.
Cllr. Keatley asked the council to give a timeframe for the completion of works in Narraghmore Village?
Work on the Oak Park Area of Narraghmore has been completed, and it is hoped to complete the Public Realm works in 2022.
Can the council confirm if sections of the main Baltinglass to Castledermot Road are to be resurfaced in 2022?
The council has said there are a number of planning applications live at present on the
Baltinglass to Castledermot Road.
