The Castletroy Urban Greenway Active Travel Scheme is a project that has been delivered by Limerick City & County Council. It has been funded by the National Transport Authority.
The Greenway, which extends to approx. 1.3km, includes a western link to Castletroy Town Centre and an eastern link to the nearby residential area of Walkers Road.
The main north-south spine provides connectivity between Castletroy College and Gaelscoil Chaladh an Treoigh. This section is approximately 820 metres in length.
The Greenway connects people's homes with their local schools, shops and amenities and forms part of Limerick City and County Council’s Active Travel cycling and walking network in the East of the Metropolitan area.
The Castletroy Urban Greenway cost approx. €2million and was funded by the National Transport Authority’s Sustainable Transport Measures Grant programme.
The Scheme was approved by Councillors via a Part 8 planning application in March 2020, having gone through a public consultation process. See: Part VIII - Castletroy Urban Greenway | Limerick City & County Council's Online Consultation, Survey and Application Form Portal
