Galway traffic

Not everyone has to shift and no forcing required. Just create a system that favors the more efficient forms of transport within the city and provide everyone an easy means to access them and the rest will take care of itself. If people want to stick with the car, that's perfectly fine, but they should have lower priority around the city.

Exactly - efficiency but also to give people the real choice. That has been lacking for decades here.

If we had the modal share our towns and Citys had back in the 70/80's we would be doing very well.

thanks DaCor, it's a very well done consultation & fly thru. these virtual rooms are great, and this one worked flawlessly on mobile. just left general feedback since I don't live near and rarely travel the route.

Will there be much CPO’s / land aquisition delays on the Dublin Road corridor?

I had a look at the vid Dacor posted earlier, and while I was contributing to the slow crawl of traffic out that way this evening, I can’t see how all those lanes will fit along the route, even if they are narrowed down to a bare 2.5m wide each.

Pauline O' Reilly talking about it here, though it's more a discussion about the general traffic situation then the specifics of the Bus Connects.

Hard to believe we're only starting to try and get this over the line in 2022. I am very much coming around to the idea that there's been a massive over-reliance on the bypass. For one of Ireland's main cities, public transport and infrastructure for same/active travel is truly abysmal.

I think the exit of Merlin Hospital should be moved up to the junction at Galway Crystal and a tunnel should be built under the railway line at Murrough House to open up those lands for development. That new exit from the hospital can move along the tree line as much as possible and come in at the new Ambulance Base. Close of old exit.

It would be nice to improve the bus stop outside of GMIT. There is a lot of buses especially on a Friday that stop there so proper facilities would be a great addition.

Otherwise it looks good.

Good to hear but Cpo's will affect house owners and business owners on the college road end of the bus corridor.

Ok, but all linked surely? cant have one without the other if you want it to work.Not knocking it BTW, was gonna get a leap card myself😉

Can think of one property that they must have had eyes on for CPO here. Opposite Duggans, beside Connacht Hotel, but priority bus traffic lights will have to work here instead. The big CPO of private house/demolish (2-4 houses ) I am aware of that the City Council have is a non BUS measure. They want to widen the St Brendans Road Avenue / Dyke Road / Headford Road junction to increase traffic throughput and widen footpaths for pedestrians.
