Deputy Mayor of Castlebar and chairperson of Iompar Castlebar Thérèse Ruane, has welcomed Mayo County Council's commitment this week to putting in place three new pedestrian crossings on the Pontoon Road are of Castlebar in the coming weeks.
“As chairperson of Iompar Castlebar, a key priority for me is making Castlebar a more accessible, pedestrian-friendly town,” Cllr Ruane said. “We are seeing the opening of a new crossing at Chapel Street at the beginning of this month. Now we will finally see crossings in place in the coming weeks on the Pontoon Road: one at Lyons Shop, and two new crossings at the new junction at the Sacred Heart Hospital. These new crossings are very welcome and a step in the right direction.
“Of course, pedestrian crossings are so badly needed in other areas of Castlebar and we in Iompar Castlebar will continue to lobby for more pedestrian crossings at other locations in the town so that Castlebar becomes a more accessible and better town for everyone to get around.”
