Second meeting planned for Active Travel Scheme in Limerick city
A SECOND public information event will be held in order to hear proposals to connect Wickham Street and Clare Street in Limerick city centre via an Active Travel facility.
The second session will be held on Thursday, January 18, between 6pm and 8pm at the Strand Hotel, Ennis Road, Limerick.
It will take a similar approach to the previous session, which was held in December, and will give stakeholders who were unable to attend the first night a further opportunity to be updated on the proposals.
As part of the project, an Economic Assessment Report has been compiled on each of the proposed routes for the works.
This work, which is being conducted by a third party outside of Limerick City and County Council, has involved directly engaging with businesses on the proposed routes in the form of questionnaires and surveys.
Several items will be considered in the Economic Assessment including existing trade in the area, and how this trade may or may not be impacted by the proposed scheme.
The Active Travel team in Limerick City and County Council, which is tasked with delivering the project, has also been continuing work on traffic surveys and parking surveys on the proposed routes over the past number of months.
