CITY COUNCILLOR CALLS FOR ACTION ON DOUGHISKA ROAD

Date Published: 15-Oct-2007

A Galway City Councillor is calling for the immediate widening of a traffic bottleneck.

Cllr Mary Leahy says she’s received numerous complaints from drivers experiencing long delays on the Doughiska Road between the Dublin Road and the junction with Merlins Lane.

She claims it’s very difficult for vehicles to pass each other on the road and the problem is being made worse by the narrowness and the current phasing of traffic signals on the road.

Speaking to Galway Bay FM news this morning Cllr Leahy says she’s amazed the City Council haven’t yet bought the land needed to widen the road.
