The headquarters of Kildare County Council at Áras Chill Dara in Naas.
An update has been offered by Kildare County Council (KCC) in response to a local councillor's question regarding the Celbridge Road.
Although Fianna Fáil Cllr Naoise Ó Cearúil, was unable to attend the latest Clane-Maynooth Municipal District meeting on Friday, May 3 last, his question was heard at the meeting.
Cllr Ó Cearúil's question read as follows: "Can KCC provide an update regarding the upgrade of the Celbridge Road and the interim safety measures?"
KCC replied to his question via its report at the meeting: "A Phase 2 Options Selection Report has been prepared and submitted to the National Transport Authority (also known as the NTA) for approval.
"The council has been asked to explore the extent of requirements needed to extend a continuous segregated active travel scheme integrating with the Straffan road junction."
KCC continued: "This work is being progressed and a consultant appointment process is being undertaken to progress the scheme to public consultation.
"As an interim measure, school zone markings have been installed to highlight the presence of a school to drivers."
KCC added: "Pencil bollards have also been installed on both sides of the Celbridge road in front of the schools."
