A proposed temporary 6 month cycleway in Salthill in Galway is coming to a head this afternoon as councillors sit down to consider 7,500 submissions. Last September councillors voted 17 in 1 in favour of the €1 million plan which is due to open in March. Since then many local politicians have flip flopped on the promenade route as emergency services and businesses have kicked up and natives started to complain. Yesterday Henry McKean put together his fold-up bike and joined the big red community cycle of 400 cyclists who want to keep cyclists safe, riding the proposed damp Galway route where 15 schools are within 1.5km of the proposed 3km temporary cycleway route. He sent us this report.
