Motions
6. Councillor McGinley
That the pedestrian crossing at the boys national school on the Moyglare Road, Maynooth be improved in line with the wishes of the junior road safety officers i.e.
proper road signage, proper road markings, the installation of flashing zebra crossing lights to warn oncoming motorists.

7. Councillor McGinley
That this council, in line with department guidelines, erects road signs in Straffan Village announcing their successes in the Tidy Towns Competition.  Furthermore that the two missing road signs on the Lodge Park Road and Clane Road be replaced, that graffiti be removed from existing signs and that damaged signs be replaced.
 
8. Councillor Murphy
In view of the difficulty for residents getting in and out of estates on the Maynooth Road, namely Crodaun Forest Park and Castle Village, we seek from the Road Design Department a remedy that is cost effective and can be implemented in the short term.

9. Councillor Murphy
We ask that the road as currently designed at the Green Lane entrance to Castletown Estate, Leixlip is amended to reflect the large number of pedestrians who use the route on a daily basis.

10. Councillor Murphy
We consider how the changes can be made to the road conditions outside the boys national school, Moyglare Road, Maynooth in line with those sought by the school and its junior wardens.  They can be summarised as follows; proper road signage and road markings and flashing zebra crossing lights to warn oncoming motorists.

11. Councillor Byrne
That a pedestrian control crossing be provided on the Maynooth Road, Celbridge near the Beatty Park bus stop, thus allowing safe crossing of the road for those wishing to
use the bus service and in particular those living in the St Raphaels community based home in Beatty Park, Celbridge.

12. Councillor Byrne
That a footpath be provided from the junction of the Sallins Road/Kill Road at Millbrook, Straffan to the Morrel Bridge on the Kill Road as this area of road can no longer be used safely by pedestrians or by cyclists.

13. Councillor Byrne
That the footpath near house 935 of St Patricks Park, Celbridge be extended in order to prevent three point turns by motorists turning back onto the Main Street, in an area where children are often at play.

14. Councillor Griffin
The proposal to extend the bus route up the Moyglare Road is welcomed, however, the removal of the traffic calming measures is of serious concern bearing in mind the delay in replacing and the fact that 1600 students are using this road on a daily basis, I call on Kildare County Council to provide traffic calming measures which will facilitate a safe crossing for students/pedestrians.

15. Councillor Griffin
In order to advance the undergrounding of the ESB cables at Main Street, Celbridge, Kildare County Council are requested to apply to the ESB for financial assistance so that this project can be expedited.

Questions
16. Councillor Murphy
What is the cause of the malfunction on the petrol interceptors on Newbridge, Coneyboro, what will it take to overcome the problem?

17. Councillor Byrne
To ask the council to repair the cycle path on Hazelhatch Road, Celbridge which is in a dangerous condition for cyclists?

18. Councillor McGinley
What traffic calming measures will be replacing the two traffic ramps on Moyglare Road and where in Moyglare Hall will the 67 bus turning point be located?

Planning and Economic Development (11:55 a.m.)

Motions
19. Councillor Griffin
In order to improve the sight lines at the Clonagh junction, Johninstown, Kildare County Council are requested to enforce the planning conditions that will make the junction safer for the local residents.

20. Councillor McGinley
 That a reply be given to the email, include drawings, submitted by the Scouts architect  to planning on the 11 May on their proposal scheme for the Geraldine Hall, Maynooth  so they can proceed to planning stage.
