Material Alteration 34 As stated previously in our comments regarding material alteration #16, Celbridge Community Council would prefer to see this new roads objective retained as current residents of the town feel this is sorely lacking for the western side of the town without a single extra house being built but accepts that a Western Link Road would be a significant infrastructural project and that the additional river crossing must be prioritised over it. If the Western Link Road is not going to be built during the lifetime of this Local Area Plan then, instead of removing objective MTO3.9, it should be changed to cover protection of the route from development as there is a strong chance that this is transport infrastructure that will be needed in the longer term (when development at the site of the originally planned Oldtown KDA can be done in a more sustainable manner). Celbridge Community Council has a number of concerns about traffic flow particularly during morning and evening rush times and if this new roads objective is removed then solutions for alleviating these problems need to be identified by the proposed Transport Management Plan and implementation of these solutions need to become prerequisites for development at both the Oldtown and Crodaun KDAs. The re-wording of the objective should make reference to taking actions to alleviate traffic congestion to the north and west of the town based on recommendations arising from the Transport Management Plan.
