I attended the launch of an initiative which aims to get Galway’s road users involved in a public discussion on traffic flow around the city. The programme, named ‘Galway Transport – Engage for a liveable city’ was launched by Mayor Hildegarde Naughton on Monday night 28th November at the Meyrick Hotel.
The group responsible for the initiative includes members of Engineers Ireland West Region, individuals with specific transportation expertise, and strong support from NUI Galway, firstly on the engineering side to address the traffic issues, and secondly from the Digital Enterprise Research Institute, bringing best practice in web technologies and smart systems.
Everyone is invited to engage in the process, including residents of Galway, those who commute to work in Galway, business interests, visitors, officials and councillors of Galway City Council, other public representatives, An Garda Síochána and other relevant statutory bodies, together with private and public sector providers of transport services in the city. They can do so by engaging with the initiative through online www.galwaytf.com and offline surveys and a blog on the Galway Transport Forum website, which welcomes contributions and comments.
The survey period will end on the 12th January, 2012 so be sure to contribute before the close date.
