Galway East Deputy Ciaran Cannon says a consultant has now been appointed to lead that process.
He points out that two previous studies have outlined how the disused rail line will not be needed for any rail service for the foreseeable future.
Deputy Cannon is hopeful we'll have a final answer on the future of the greenway by the end of the year.
