The Athlone to Ballinasloe Greenway group have sent on some information regarding the Athlone to Ballinasloe section of the proposed greenway/cycleway and are encouraging all clubs involved in sports to get behind the project and have their say.
Five proposed routes have been selected, three of which go through Ballinasloe. To view the routes, see https://storage.net-fs.com/hosting/6414124/10/
The group is anxious to get as many submissions as possible in support of Routes 1 and 3 to ensure that this project will be routed through Ballinasloe and its surrounding areas. They say:'This facility would be extremely positive for all our families, clubs and businesses in Ballinasloe and in its surrounding areas in terms of:
· Health, fitness and well-being promotion;
· Social and economic regeneration;
· Rejuvenate areas with multiple links and loops;
· Suitability for all ages and all abilities with zero exclusion;
· Excellent safe leisure experience for locals and visitors.'
If you wish to send in a submission outlining which route you think is best and stating the reason why, you can do so online via https://bit.ly/3thHnu6 or by post to the Galway to Athlone Cycleway Project Office, Ballinasloe Library, Society Street, Ballinasloe. You can also drop your submission into the project office (taking care to observe Covid advice).
