17 Councillors voted in favour of Trialling a segregated cycle lane along Galway Prom. This has been a priority of mine and the Green Party for so long, overjoyed that it is a step closer. Safer commuting by bike all.

17 in Favour 1 Against #iBikeSalthill

With excuses knocked off the list one by one and councillors coming around over the last couple of weeks, it is now clear - there is no where left for the councils to hide. The people demand that funding be spent

Salthill Cyclelane - Vote Yes

Funding? Eamon Ryan said he will make funding available

What about court cases? We are changing the law to give more powers to councillors

What about bus stops? Dealt with through road markings

Losing business? Business increases with cycling

Temporary cycle lanes have led to an increase in business. Many businesses in Galway know this and want Salthill to be part of this new market

Greens gathered in Woodquay today as the Minister Catherine Martin TD and Fáilte Ireland announced €1,030,350 in funding for Woodquay Park! With thanks to the local community:

There have been numerous Galway City Council motions on cycle lanes for Salthill Prom over the years – and there will be one more next week. In July 2020 the council voted 12 to 5 to NOT implement the cycle lane along the Prom. 1/9 #iBikeSalthill
