Confey Cemetery in Leixlip
Cllr Bernard Caldwell has called on Kildare Co Council to install a pedestrian crossing at Confey Cemetery in Leixlip.
The politician raised the issue at the December meeting of the local Municipal District.
Kildare County Council said that the development of any pedestrian crossing will be dependent on funding.
The Council said the area in the vicinity of Confey Cemetery will be assessed by technical staff to determine what type of pedestrian crossing is appropriate.
Donal Hodgins, Senior Engineer, Sustainable Transport and Traffic Management, added: "The delivery of any facility will be dependent on a future funding source being identified.
Councillor Caldwell also asked the Council to provide any update from Waterways Ireland on the pedestrian entrance to the Royal Canal at Cope Bridge, Confey?
The Council said the Transport Department made contact with Waterways Ireland in respect of the issue and they advised that are willing to come up with a solution to address the issue.
The lands in question are outside the scope of the Part 8 for the Royal Grand Greenway and are in the ownership of Waterways Ireland.
