It’s scandalous how long they’ve been waiting for the ring road.

Welcome to Ireland ☘️
Almost as if they have a council that is diametrically opposed to any active travel and public transport options, basically guaranteeing everyone who wants to go anywhere is going there in a car.
No surprise to anyone living in Galway. It’s insane.
Galway council: we tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!
Blame this lot and the people who voted them in [https://www.galwaycity.ie/council-members](https://www.galwaycity.ie/council-members)
Been saying that for years on here. Dublin is bad but at least at times there’s a feeling like you’re moving. Galway on the other hand. Lough Atalia is like the hotel california. Headford Road just as bad. Population of Galway grew but the infrastructure stayed the same. I’ve family in Knocknacarra and the road in from Salthill is bordering on a country road considering the population
Councilor don’t know anything about Urban design. You’re average councilor believes that traffic can be reduced by low population density and more infrastructure for cars. Not realizing that this just makes it more likely people drive.
I would question how much infrastructure funds have been lost in Galway due to disagreement within the city and county council. If you look at Limerick, Cork and Dublin City there seems to be progress with both bike, bus and car infrastructure. In Galway it looks like nothing has changed.
Light rail and double tracking Ceannt Station to Athenry would solve it.
I drive to Galway regularly, I started parking at my friends house on the outskirts and take a bus in. No crazy fees, no traffic.
Traffic is atrocious and public transport is stymied by choke points. For instance, say you’re getting the 409 home to doughiska from town, a bus lane only starts at the Dublin road, so the bus is stuck in congestion from eyre square to Dublin road. On the Dublin road brilliant….except bus lane ends at the Connaught hotel, back to sitting in congestion all the way to doughiska. A main artery road like Dublin road should have a double bus lane in both directions. And the city itself should have a dedicated bus corridor to get to these arteries. If public transport was reliable you’d take a lot of locals out of that traffic.
