Galway Bay fm newsroom - The second phase of public consultation has opened for the proposed rural regeneration scheme for Bridge Street in Dunmore.
A video representation of the emerging preferred option is now available on the Galway county council website, as well as details on the route options considered and the process to date.
The narrow street has been largely derelict for many years and is not sufficiently wide for two lanes of traffic to safely pass.
The purpose of the project is to improve the centre of Dunmore to enable regeneration within the town, improve the usability of Bridge Street and encourage use of the Square.
A consultancy team led by O’Connor Sutton Cronin was appointed to prepare the plan for the Regeneration of Bridge Street.
Since starting in late 2019 , the team has been conducting extensive research and site appraisal work to inform the plan.
The first phase of public consultation for the scheme took place in March which included a public consultation evening at the Tuam MD office base.
The next phase sets out the emerging preferred route which would involve widening on the eastern side of Bridge Street.
As part of the information boards, a video has been made available of the proposed scheme as well as reports on the methodology and route selection process.
Public submissions can be made until December 16th.
