A feasibility study, identifying a suitable route for the Silverstrand to city centre walkway/cycleway, has been commissioned by the Galway City Council.
Consultants have been appointed to undertake a high-level assessment and prepare a feasibility study. There will be public consultation throughout the various stages of the process.
The news has been welcomed by Fine Gael Galway City West councillor, Clodagh Higgins, who has been an advocate of the project.

“Creating this walkway and cycleway will be a gamechanger for the community particularly for those who cycle, walk, rely on wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or parents with pushchairs and prams,” she said.
“A dedicated route will make for a more pleasant journey for all and it will provide a safe amenity for the people of Galway and beyond to enjoy. This is the first step in delivering such an important piece of infrastructure for the city.”
