Proposed Grand Canal Greenway
Kildare County Council propose to construct a shared walking and cycling greenway route along the Grand Canal Towpath.
A map of the proposed route is available to view below.
The proposed development will comprise of:
- Improvement and upgrading of the existing towpath along the Grand Canal through the provision of a suitable surface i.e. Quarry Dust, Surface Dressing or Asphalt (Tarmac) depending on local conditions for pedestrian and cyclist use.
- Provision of traffic safety measures and signage to facilitate safe pedestrian and cycling crossings and access to shared surfaces
- Provision of access controls (pedestrian / cycling friendly gates) road markings, traffic calming measures, ducting and associated drainage works on the proposed cycle / walk way.
- Provision of route signage boards and marker/distance posts along the proposed route. The route signage boards will be located at main access points onto the route in towns and villages, while marker/distance posts will be installed at 5km intervals.
The Proposed Grand Canal Greenway is on public display from Wednesday 28th November 2018 – 3rd January 2019. Plans and particulars of the proposed greenway are available to view below or at our Planning Department, Kildare County Council during opening hours.
