Subsequent to the grant of the light rail order, studies were carried out by the State agencies involved to consider options for access to the park and ride facility. Consideration was given also to the National Roads Authority plans to upgrade the M50-Naas Road junction and all the bodies involved agreed that the solution arrived at should both minimise the impact on traffic at an already busy stretch of road, as the Senator pointed out, and facilitate bus interchange as well as park and ride facility access. Without compromising these objectives, the bodies have also been examining the solution that provides best value for money.
