Galway City Council has announced plans for new pedestrian cycling infrastructure along Bothar Stiofáin in Knocknacarra.
The Bóthar Stiofáin Cycle Network Scheme will include upgrades to 870m of Bothar Stiofáin between the junctions with the Rahoon Road and Western Distributor Road.
This will create segregated cycle tracks on both sides of the carriageway and add a footpath to the eastern side of the carriageway.
The project will also include four new raised zebra crossing points on the road, as well as upgraded public lighting, landscaping and drainage amendments.
The goal of the scheme is to improve safety, reduce vehicle speeds, and contribute towards an increased number of trips in the area by pedestrians and cyclists.
Plans and particulars of this project are available to view online, and can also be accessed at city hall.
Public submissions in relation to this project can be made until March 8, and should be submitted to planning@galwaycity.ie or by post to: Planning Department, Galway City Council, College Road, Galway.
