Chapter 3 - Appropriate Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment Screening Reports

Mobility is an essential element of development strategies that aim to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Meeting the needs of people who cycle continues to be a critical part of the mobility solution for helping cities de-couple population growth from increased emissions, and to improve air quality and road safety. This scheme is essential to provide a sustainable, healthy and community focussed alternative to the private car for residents of Limerick City West.

Main opinion: 

Cycling infrastructure in critical

Main requests: 

Deliver the scheme quickly

Main reasons: 

This route is one of the essential primary spurs of the Limerick Metropolitain Cycle Network and will link a quarter of the population to the city centre. Its importance to the growth of the city centre, to our climate obligations and to the wellbeing of our city can not be overstated.
