Donegal County Council, backed by the Department of Transport, is inviting local residents and other interested parties to participate in the third non-statutory public consultation for the Letterkenny Southern Network Project.
The project is intended to develop the transport network around the South of Letterkenny town with a road development to provide connectivity from Letterkenny to West Donegal, and reduce traffic congestion.
The project is currently at the Option Selection phase, and after looking at a number of potential improvement options, an Emerging Preferred Route Corridor has been identified by consultants and council officials.
The council is now seeking feedback on that preferred route corridor, which will help inform the final stages of the Option Selection Assessment.
As part of that, an in-person non-statutory public consultation event will take place at the Public Services Centre in Letterkenny tomorrow week, after which there will be a public display in the foyer of the centre until the end of the year.
Online submissions can be made at consult.donegal.ie from Tuesday 26th until December 31st, with email and postal submissions also being accepted by the project team.
