Paul O'Meara, 16 Dec
Improvements are needed to a footpath in Clane because some vehicles
are coming too close to pedestrians.
Independent councillor Pádraig McEvoy called on Kildare County Council
to “examine options to enhance the capacity of the footpath.”
The path is located at the junction between the main street in the town
and Prosperous Road.

Cllr McEvoy said “vehicles can encroach on the limited space allocated
to pedestrians.”
KCC says it has come up with a draft layout for improvements there
including to “dramatically improve” the location for vulnerable road
users.
KCC says this work will assist pedestrians, including the elderly and
students walking to school.
It will impact on the number of vehicles the junction can accommodate.
KCC also says the proposed changes are in line with standard practices
employed by the
Department of Transport and the National Transport Authority.
