Minister Hildegarde Naughton has revealed further details of the €12 million sustainable transport package for Galway funded by her Department last week. Plans for a coastal greenway linking Salthill with Oranmore will be progressed among a number of greenways that will receive funding, including €125,000 for a pedestrian and cycling bridge on the old Clifden railway line €1 million in order to provide an urban greenway in the Knocknacarra area linking Rahoon Road and Kingston Road. A total of €500,000 will be used towards the development of a new bridge for pedestrians and cyclists at the Salmon Weir Bridge, where funding has also been provided for associated connections and a new public realm. €80,000 has also been allocated for the progress of a coastal greenway linking Silverstrand with the city centre.

Gone live today the plans. They are looking good, if they are fully implemented it would be interesting.
Galway City Council welcome your feedback on the proposed Millar’s Lane Upgrade by the 22nd October 2021.
Not bad at all. I'm loving the permeability improvements
Was it not a few months go that Cllr McNelis was whinging about anti-social activity in the area and the Chief Supt put in place a 'special policing plan'. Will the 'extremely bothered' residents in Millars Lane area not object to permeability (as it reduces the perceived value of their houses)? https://www.advertiser.ie/galway/article/120624/easter-policing-plan-to-be-implemented-to-deal-with-large-gatherings-in-salthill-and-knocknacarra https://connachttribune.ie/residents-want-problem-laneway-to-be-closed-off-221/
or
Residents from the White Oaks/Doire Gheal estate on the Clybaun Road have previously expressed concerns over security and noise https://connachttribune.ie/plans-progress-for-new-neighbourhood-park-in-knocknacarra-165/
You seem to love changes to areas that you don't live or work in.
Have you take such a keen interest in changes in your new county?
As a resident of the area - I am too. Hopefully they will come into effect, kids and young adults are already hoping walls between Cruachan, Gort Greine, Gort na Bró etc so only the people affected currently are the older walkers and those with heavy bike. Will be great route for kids going to the local schools GMA and KNS.
What a disturbingly stalky comment to make.
Nonsense.
On threads that you know full well I'm reading and posting on, you have been very clear that WFH has given you the opportunity to move to another county, outside what you regard as commutable distance of Galway. No stalking required.
Enjoy your new home.
John Connolly FF Cllr was on Galway Bay FM yesterday , he was very positive about it I thought from the conversation with Katie Finnegan on Galway Talks.

Creepy that you take such an interest in my life.
Not living or working in an area does not exclude someone from taking an interest in that area.
I'm not one to ever come to MrsOb's defence but if ye are both posting on the same threads and you're sharing your personal stories then it's hardly creepy that she knows that information!?
Creepy for her to be posting about it though. Specially when it's being used as some kind of attempt at gatekeeping who can have and opinion on something.
I don't know or care where DaCor lives, nor should it really matter for something like this. They aren't influencing a decision, just expressing an opinion on something that's happening
Ya very true. I still don't find it creepy though, it's more picky and pedantic in an effort to 'win' an internet point.
Ya pedantic is a good term. It is very much a reductionist way of looking at the world.
The idea that one has to be living beside/near Millars Lane / <insert place name here> to be able comment on it. Pure daft if ya ask me.
It is extraordinarily creepy considering she raised the issue completely unprovoked in response to an entirely innocuous comment. I'm genuinely disturbed by the mindset on display.
If she didn't know Dacor from similar threads they post in and didn't have a history of a back and forth with him then ya that would be creepy. But Dacor shared that info in a thread she posts in, it ain't creepy. Pedantic and unnecessary, obviously.
Genuinely creepy would be if she knew he didn't live there but not from his public posts here. If you're sharing info here then it's fair game for people to use it. Very common.
Have to agree with Ben.Schlomo here. If you're both posting in threads common to you both, you can expect one to travel over to the other. We're not posting in a vacuum here.
DaCor is entitled to post what he wants, about whatever he wants, but MrsO is entitled to read them and comment.
The "Creepy" comment was a poor attempt at thanks whoring. And worse still, it worked.
So, sustainable transport funding eh...
