Galways Traffic Woes: Climate Experts Push for Public Transport Solutions
Galway Citys worsening traffic congestion is set to cost the economy over €107 million annually by 2040. The Climate Change Advisory Council urges the government to expedite public transport projects like GLUAS, citing a transport department report. Residents are frustrated with gridlock, which increases emissions, hampers productivity, and negatively impacts health. The council warns against building more roads, as it will only attract more cars. They advocate for immediate action on ready-to-go ideas like a Park and Ride at Cappagh Road and increased budget for public transport in 2026. Local groups are also applying pressure, with GLUAS seeking light rail route details and a public meeting emphasizing urgency, as a decision on the city ring road approaches.
