Date Published: 17-Sep-2011

The Department of transport has allocated 120 thousand euro in funding for 'smarter travel' initiatives in Galway.

The funding, taken from a national competition pot, will benefit Loughrea and Galway city in building safer pedestrian and cycling routes.

Galway city council has been given 50 thousand euro to install up to 20 'table top' crossings' at entrances to estates off arterial roads.

Loughrea is to get 70 thousand euro for traffic calming measures on Mount Carmel road to include speed ramps.
