Sallns train station
Bus stop signs and the associated road markings are needed for people using the bus service which connects Newbridge with the rail station in Sallins.
The service was praised by Cllr Brendan Wyse, who nevertheless said the signs and stops are needed “where none are currently present.”
He said the markings and stops should be at all stopping points for the Local Link 821 service in Milltown, Allen, Kilmeague, Robertstown, Allenwood, Coill Dubh, Prosperous, Caragh, Naas and Sallins.
A Kildare County Council meeting was told that the stopping locations for Local Link routes are agreed between Local Link and the National Transport Authority (NTA) in the first instance.
KCC then inspect the locations and make observations from a road safety point of view. The design of the infrastructure is undertaken by the NTA and their service providers. These designs are then sent to the council for comment and approval.
After that NTA arranges the procurement and installation by their contractor.
The process for Route 821 is at the design stage and the council is awaiting the completion of designs by the NTA.
