Two 'active travel schemes' in Causeway Coast & Glens area set to progress
Consultants have now been commissioned to progress two major active travel schemes in the Causeway Coast & Glens area.
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins provided the update on the Department’s six signature Active Travel schemes, one of which will run from Coleraine to Portstewart and another from Bellarena to Bishop’s Gate.
The others are Sydenham Greenway; Maydown to Campsie; Black Paths extension to Portadown railway station and Newry Inner City Greenway.
Minister Kimmins said: “I am committed to providing cleaner and greener travel options for people.
"Active travel is good for the environment and can help to improve the health and wellbeing for those who choose to walk, wheel or cycle for some of their shorter everyday journeys.
"These six significant active travel schemes, with a combined length of 40km, are a tangible demonstration of that commitment.”
Delivery of the six schemes will be subject to timing of satisfactory completion of all statutory processes and future budget availability.
