'Extremely difficult' to improve sightlines in this Kildare region
An engineer working for Kildare County Council (KCC) has admitted that it is ‘extremely difficult' to improve sightlines in one County Kildare region.
The comments were included in a KCC report which was given to councillors in attendance at the latest Athy Municipal District (MD) meeting, which took place on Monday, September 21 last.
The topic initially arose when Labour Party Cllr Aoife Breslin submitted the following question: “Can KCC confirm if it plans to install measures to enhance the visibility for vehicles exiting from Abbeylands on to the L4009 in Castledermot ?”
In response, KCC provided Cllr Breslin with a report which was written by the MD’s engineer, Kevin Dunne.
Mr Dunne told her: “The MD have reviewed this entrance and are currently working through options to facilitate traffic calming on the exit as it is extremely difficult to improve sightlines.”
However, he added that KCC is currently in the process of seeking new signage for the aforementioned area.
Following this, Cllr Breslin replied by thanking Mr Dunne for visiting the region with her prior to the meeting.
