ATHENRY ACTIVE TRAVEL SCHEME - Non Statutory Public Consultation
Galway County Council invites you to
HAVE YOUR SAY!
Live from Friday 11th September to Friday 25th September.
Galway County Council, In Partnership with the National Transport Authority, is developing proposals to make it safer and easier to walk, wheel and cycle in Athenry.
The proposed Active Travel Scheme will improve walking, cycling and road safety along Tuam Road, Station Road and Church Street, creating safer and more accessible connections to schools, residential areas, community facilities and Athenry Town Centre.
Following Concept Design and Option Development, an Emerging Preferred Option has now been selected. Note that this is a high-level design and further detail of the design is currently being developed as part of the Preliminary Design stage. Feedback from this Non-Statutory Public Consultation will inform the design development.
Please see drawings and additional information on the scheme attached. We now invite you to share your thoughts on the proposal.
We welcome your feedback by Friday 25th September 2026 12pm.
