A councillor has urged Kildare County Council (KCC) to review a busy junction located within the Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District (MD).
Fianna Fáil Cllr Brian O'Loughlin made the call via a motion he submitted at the latest MD meeting, which was held on Wednesday, September 17 last.
Specifically, he motioned for KCC to review "the busy junction at Brownstown, The Curragh with a view to installing traffic lights".
His motion was seconded by his party colleague, Cllr Suzanne Doyle.
KCC responded via its report at the meeting that it prioritises junction upgrades "based on locations of interest identified by the Department of Transport Support Office (DTSO) in their Regional and Local Road Network Safety Analysis". KCC further said that this group is currently working on ten locations.
Regarding the junction at Brownstown, KCC told Cllr O'Loughlin that it is included in the latest analysis and that it "can be considered for future funding interventions as additional junctions are added to the Junction Upgrade Programme".
Cllr O'Loughlin in turn told KCC that he accepted its report.
