I wish to make the following submission on the proposals for the Meadowbrook Cycle Scheme:

GENERAL

1. Newtown Road, which links Maynooth town centre to Castle Dawson and other residential estates to the south west of Maynooth,  is a narrow regional road with inadequate footpaths and no cycle facilities. While it is outside the area of the proposed works, the proposals fail to address traffic management in the wider Meadowbrook-Newtown area which has implications for the junction radii and the road crossings by vulnerable road users.  The Council should bring forward plans for area wide traffic management in conjunction with cycle proposals for the Meadowbrook Road and Beaufield Close.
