Waterford Active Travel Programme Boosts Construction Of New Routes

Construction News Image
An Active Travel programme in County Waterford is continuing to help create new routes across the region.

Waterford City & County Council is working in partnership with the NTA to deliver the programme.

The programme's goal is to promote walking and cycling and to develop the infrastructure to allow people change from a reliance on their cars for local journeys and to walking and cycling as a sustainable form of transport.

As part of this programme the development of local pedestrian routes is vital, and the Council has sought to identify and sought submissions from the public on potential routes to develop.

Funding has now been secured to develop a route along the existing link between Bayview and the Youghal Rd in Dungarvan.

The proposal involves the construction of a new 2.5m footpath with new planting and low-level lighting between Bayview and Youghal Rd. The aim is to improve the existing link and offer a more attractive route for active travel use in the area.

Projects like this aim to improve existing links, and develop new paths between communities, local services, and amenities.

The active travel programme is managed by your local authority and funded by the National Transport Authority and is part of the national transport strategy to reduce the country's transport associated carbon emissions.

Ahead of proposed works this summer, the Council is now calling for locals to make their opinion heard on the scheme and put forward any ideas for similar projects in your area and beyond.

Submissions or comments should be submitted before 10 June 2022.
