Galway Commuter Coalition Calls for End to Infrastructural Stasis with Coming of Ring Road Clarity
The Galway Commuter Coalition is today calling on Galway City and County Councils and the Minister for Transport to commit to:
- The immediate funding of Galway Bus Connects Cross-City Link & Dublin Road schemes, which are already through the planning system and must be delivered in tandem with the Ring Road to prevent the common ‘induced demand’ phenomenon from choking our city.
- The immediate release of the Galway Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy.
- The immediate funding of a study to identify the preferred route of the Galway LUAS, to ensure it can be delivered once the Ring Road is constructed.
“To waste this opportunity to free our city from traffic, give our citizens choice, and limit the environmental impact of the Ring Road would be catastrophic to Galway’s future citizens,” said Lochlann Gallagher, Chair of the Galway Commuter Coalition.
