Revealed: the blueprint for a cycle network in AthloneThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has opened the public consultation process for proposals to develop new cycle networks across 22 counties, forming part of the CycleConnects: Ireland’s Cycle Network programme. This includes an urban cycle networks in Athlone as well as in Mullingar and a county network in the rest of Westmeath and Roscommon. Primary urban routes are seen as high quality cycle routes that can accommodate a high volume of cyclists typical in most urban areas. The inter urban routes are on-road cycle routes to link all key settlements and destinations outside urban areas both within the county and into adjacent counties. They were developed following consultation with all local authorities and align with Transport Infrastructure Ireland’s (TII) proposed National Cycle Network.
