New signal controlled pedestrian crossing for Naas to Kill Cycle Scheme

A Signal Controlled Pedestrian Crossing at the Dew Drop Inn, Kill, is included in the Design of the ‘Naas to Kill Cycle Scheme’.

The ‘Naas to Kill Cycle Scheme’ was on Public Display until November 15th last and Mr Emmett Stagg made a submission to Kildare Co. Council stating that a Signal Controlled Pedestrian Crossing was required at the Dew Drop Inn to provide safety for both pedestrians and cyclists. The Council had indicated that at a minimum a Zebra Controlled Crossing would be provided but that they would consider a traffic light crossing also.

Mr. Stagg stated that the ‘Naas to Kill Cycle Scheme’ was passed at the Naas Municipal District Meeting on January 16th last and the Council have confirmed that a Signal Controlled Pedestrian Crossing will be provided as part of the Scheme at the Dew Drop Inn, Kill.

Now that the planning for the Cycle Scheme is in place, it is understood that  the Council will seek funding to carry out the work from the National Transport Authority.
