    Why do you think that?
    LA's usually have budgets prepared in Nov/Dec (after the budget) for the following year.

    I noticed there is some work being done at the junction beside Tesco.
    That is one of the locations for new bikes so it must be related.
    Maybe they will have it done before end of year.

    They closed the road and turned it into bicycle parking, Joe.

    Do you believe this is how it works? Big safe up in City Hall filled up at start of the year?
    Council draw down most of funds from various Depts during the year once it is ready to be spent.

    A new docking station has been built on NUIG grounds just before the entrance to the park and ride car park. Looks like it's pretty much ready to go but might not be terribly useful until the station near the NUIG entrance on University Road is built. I haven't noticed any sign of that yet.

    Is that station not on the grounds of UCHG? Just inside the main gate behind the statue of St. Patrick? I thought a Bike Station was to be installed close to the College Bar / IMI area?

    The station I posted about above is at the farthest reaches of the NUIG campus up in Dangan. It's located at around 5 o' clock on the yellow circle on the map you can see on this page.

    I don't know where the station or stations proposed for the other end of the campus are going to go. The two locations you have mentioned, one on UHG grounds and one near the College Bar would make good sense.

    Do you know how many docking stations are at the NUIG P&R in Dangan? I think the UCHG will be a small station. 10-15 Max I reckon.

    I only got a brief glimpse of it as I drove by but it didn't look terribly big. It was a double row of stations, maybe 12 or 14.

    I just spotted this over the weekend. It's in early stages of the build yet.

    Is there a link with the confirmed locations and details of the new sites? Does these drawings go through planning?

    Would have gone through City planning - do not know what the planning number for extension is though.

    I went past it today.

    Didn't get a chance to count, but it's not small. Far bigger than 10-15. Seemed to be in a couple of rows, with another bit off to the side.

    Ya the old GalwayCity.ie website was far better. Could at least review the old PR that they would issue.

    irishcycle.com have a map from Aug 29 2016

    http://irishcycle.com/2016/08/29/galway-bikes-station-expansion-planned-for-2017/
    The 4-28 location on map has changed to junction of College Rd and Lough Atalia beside the playground.
    The Map is a National Transport Authority logo on it - so perhaps more info on the NTA Website?

    Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop on this, but I take it from the details in the last few posts that there are still no plans to extend the scheme out to Salthill?

    I don't use the scheme at the moment, but I would use it if there was a docking station in Salthill.

    You are correct. You might need to lobby your local Cllr / TD for this to happen. For certain ould do with another 5/6 Bike Stations in the Lower Upper Salthill & Prom area.
