Calls have been made for an update on when work will begin widening a vital Roscam junction by multiple local estates.
Galway City Councillor Alan Cheevers has asked for the council Transport Department to give a start date to the widening of the junction at Spar in Roscam.
This junction on the Doughiska Road is the main entrance point to four estates in the Roscam area of Galway City.
Councillor Cheevers says the agreed works must start as soon as possible, as they must be completed before start of the new school year in September.
“This has been an ongoing issue since active travel work has began on the the South Doughiska Road, where over 700 residents signed a petition to bring the access back to two lanes at junction”.
This was followed by a number of meetings between the active travel team at the city council and the local residents management company, Cllr Cheevers added.
“A proposal of works was presented to the Councillors on July 19. There was broad agreement by a majority of Councillors present to proceed with plan”
“It is now important that it starts immediately so we can avoid more chaos in September with schools open.”
