The Wickham Street to Clare Street Active Travel Scheme is a project being delivered by Limerick City & County Council. It is being funded by the National Transport Authority.
It is proposed to connect the Colbert Station Quarter to Park Canal and the University of Limerick via a pedestrian and cycle facility.
The Scheme completed its first phase of non-statutory public consultation in May 2023. The report on that consultation can be viewed here: Wickham St to Clare St - Report on Non Statutory Public Consultation Final Combined.
Work on an Economic Assessment in respect of the project is now completed.
This report has been put together by a third party outside of Limerick City & County Council, which has engaged extensively with businesses and consumers on both the potential Pink and Yellow Routes.
Work is also continuing on traffic surveys, parking surveys and mobility counting.
A series of public information events to update stakeholders on the current status of the project were held in December 2023 and January 2024. The updates provided at these events can be seen in the ‘download the latest documents’ section below.
It is envisaged further public consultation will take place in line with other proposals in the area with a Part 8 planning application being submitted thereafter.
