Roundabout sought for this Kildare area due to 'high volume of traffic'
The matter was raised at a recent Kildare County Council meeting
The provision of a roundabout has been sought for a County Kildare area, in an effort to alleviate the 'high volume of traffic'.
The call was made by Fine Gael councillor Tim Durkan at the latest Clane-Maynooth Municipal District meeting, which took place on Friday, September 4 last.
Specifically, he motioned for KCC to carry out a feasibility study on the provision of a roundabout at Ovidstown Cross in Straffan.
In response to Cllr Durkan’s request, KCC said via the report it presented at the meeting: “KCC acknowledges the concerns raised regarding traffic volumes at Taghadoe Cross and Ovidstown Cross.
“However, there are currently no resources available within the council's approved work programme to undertake a feasibility study at these locations.”
Despite this, KCC also told Cllr Durkan: “The matter will be noted for consideration as part of future programme and budget reviews.”
