    If that ringroad from the M4 to the college is built by 2031 it'd be a miracle.

    Only one junction on M4, either a new one to the west (and closing the existing one), or upgrading the existing one, seems a bit shortsighted….

    A sliproad off the M4 westbound, and onto the M4 eastbound, at the site of the potential new junction, and keep the existing junction, would be a massive improvement. There's several similar on the M11 and M8 off the top of my head. Don't see the need for a full junction….

    Dart west expansion 2027, then 2029, now she's saying 2030. Seems to push out a year each time it's mentioned

    Pedestrianisation of Main Street won’t go down well with nimbies. Also the opening up of gaps between estates will cause controversy. People seem to think the hordes of Babylon will come rushing through. But it’s great for kids and people in wheelchairs as well as the elderly.

    People against it will make a lot noise. But those of us in favour need to make some noise too.

    Some good ideas but the issue is they will continue to build houses before any of this is implemented.

    There are some things that could come in immediately and make a difference like take all (non disabled/ age friendly) parking off Main Street. Open through ways to improve walking/cycling times.

    I'd also love to see Parson St. go to one way and put in an actual footpath that's useful all the way from there to the maynooth town football club.

    Also traffic calming badly needed on rathcoffey road, and yeah I'd even put in more pedestrian lights because way too many cars come through maynooth and that shouldn't be easy.
