“We have just started extending the Greenway again westwards through really scenic Achill,” said a post this evening on the Great Western Greenway Cycling & Walking Trail page.
...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...
It added: “Work currently underway on phase one of the extension of the Greenway on Achill Island. We expect to complete phase 1 this year and the entire 12km section to Keel within the next 2 years.”
IrishCycle.com have asked the council for details of the expansion.
...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
Did this go through a planning process? If so, did An Taisce receive notice of it?
