West Galway city to get Park & Ride twenty years late
Thu, Oct 24, 2024
After 19 years of complaints that Galway’s annual wintertime Park and Ride service only serves the eastern city, plans are finally being drawn up for the west side – but after this Christmas.
The National Transport Agency has confirmed that it will lodge a planning application for a small carpark and bus terminal next to Cappagh Park in Knocknacarra in the first quarter of 2025.
An NTA spokesman said the project is currently at “preliminary design” stage, and the facility will be located “next to Knockanacarra football club”. In 2023, the minister for Transport Eamon Ryan told the Oireachtas that a Park and Ride site was earmarked for the “R336 Barna corridor” at the junction of Cappagh Road and the Western Distributor Road.
