A digital map supplying information to the public on current and future active travel projects in County Limerick has now been launched.

The map, which can be found here on Limerick.ie, displays colour coordinated, categorised projects that have been delivered and are being worked on by the multi-disciplinary Active Travel team in Limerick City & County Council, based in Barrow House on Michael St.

For the first time, all cycle lanes in Limerick have been mapped and are now available for the public to view. These consist of approximately 104km in the city and approximately 41km in the county.

All works in progress and works that have been approved to proceed via statutory planning processes have been included, with it now possible to see the Active Travel network's continued development in one place.

These projects are being fully funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA), which has allocated Limerick City & County Council €20.5 million to spend on walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure in 2025.

Senior Engineer with the Active Travel department in Limerick City & County Council, Sean McGlynn, said: "The Active Travel team has been continuing to develop and improve our communications output since the department was set up in 2021.

"This digital map is the latest stage in that, with the project set to be a moving feast. Further projects will be added as the implementation of the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (LSMATS) progresses."

The new Active Travel digital map will show the following across Limerick city and county:

• Progress of the rollout of enhanced pedestrian infrastructure under Active Travel funding across both Limerick city and county

• Progress of Limerick's cycle network (specifying built, under construction and future cycleways)

• Progress of the rollout of the Safe Routes to School programme (specifying completed and upcoming works)

• Completed facilities under the Bus Shelters Enabling Works Programme

• Locations of nitrogen dioxide monitoring tubes in areas being monitored by the Active Travel team

• Available bike parking facilities throughout Limerick city and county

The map will be continuously updated with other elements of the Active Travel team's work into the future.
