A public display of the preliminary designs for potential projects for Ballyshannon and Bundoran under the "Active Travel" Scheme will take place tomorrow in both towns.
Local residents are being encouraged to engage with the information sessions.
Donegal County Council is seeking to establish a high quality continuous footway and cycleway route from Ballyshannon to Bundoran along the R267 Finner Road and to implement a one-way system on Bishop Street, Ballyshannon in order to reallocate road space to active travel infrastructure.
The aim of the consultation is to seek the public’s view on the preliminary design proposals through the public display of the preliminary designs.
It is hoped that the Ballyshannon - Bundoran Cycleway will ultimately form part of the Erne Atlantic Way, linking Fermanagh with the Wild Atlantic Way.
The projects are said to promote active travel journeys from residential areas to key education, employment, commercial, recreational, retail and tourist destinations within Ballyshannon and Bundoran.
The "Bishop Street" Active Travel Scheme is intended to create a safe walking and cycle path from a residential area into town.
This will also, in effect, extend the popular Jim White Road Loop and add to a network of walk/cycle options for locals and visitors.
A Public Display of the preliminary designs will take place in Bundoran at the Atlantic Apartotel, Main Street, Bundoran tomorrow between 12pm and 2pm and in Ballyshannon’s St Anne’s Hall, between 3pm and 7pm later that afternoon.
