Council opens submissions for Monasterevin to Portarlington greenway project

Published:

Kildare County Council, in partnership with Laois and Offaly county councils, is inviting public submissions on the proposed Monasterevin to Portarlington greenway.

A feasibility study has identified six possible route options, and the councils are now seeking input from residents, businesses and visitors.

The project is supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development’s Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS), which provides for the detailed development of projects with the objective of providing for new outdoor recreational infrastructure and/or, the enhancement of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure, to contribute to healthy active lifestyles.

It also supports the economic and tourism potential of the area for both local communities and visitors alike.

Submissions can be made in writing to Kildare County Council or online at https://consult.kildarecoco.ie/en/consultation/monasterevin-portarlington-greenway-feasibility-study.

The submission window runs until Friday, December 19.
