Help shape connections between John’s Park and Waterford City Centre.

Waterford City and County Council will hold a non-statutory public consultation at the Butler Community Centre on Tuesday 15th October 2024 from 2-8pm to gather information and opinions on this proposed scheme from the public.

The public is invited to help shape a project aimed at enhancing walking and cycling connections between John’s Park and Waterford City Centre.

• An online survey has also been prepared and we encourage members of the public to complete it here.

According to Dylan White, Waterford City and County Council’s Active Travel Communications and Behavioural Change Officer, the proposed John’s Park to Waterford City Centre scheme seeks to create safer, high-quality pedestrian and cycling routes.

Active Travel refers to walking, wheeling, cycling or the use of self-powered, non-motorised scooters for daily trips. It focuses on promoting sustainable movement and encouraging a shift from private car use to Active Travel.
