Council defies residents with bus lane proposals

DESPITE trenchant opposition by residents, Limerick City Council is pressing ahead with the development of bus lanes from the county boundary at the Crescent Shopping Centre in Dooradoyle into the city centre through Ballinacurra and O’Connell Avenue.

Director of services at the council, Pat Dromey, said it was planned to commence work on the bus lanes in August.

He estimated up to €2.4 million will be spent on the project.
