Galway Bay fm newsroom - A decision on the preferred option for the future of the Kirwan roundabout in the city is due in the coming weeks.
A public consultation on proposed changes to the roundabout at the Menlo Park Hotel took place in January.
City officials and engineers have come up with 6 options to convert the 5 arm roundabout into a traffic light junction.
The estimated cost is 1.2 million euro and the aim is to have the scheme completed within 2 years.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland is committed to funding the project.
The majority of city councillors say doing nothing is not an option - with 40 thousand vehicles and a thousand pedestrians using the junction each day between 7am and 7pm.
The City Council says its consulting engineers are currently assessing the six options for the roundabout.
The emerging preferred reconfiguration is due to be revealed in the coming weeks.
