Business leaders warn against dropping bus corridor plan

FAILURE to introduce controversial new bus routes in Limerick would have a negative impact on the future economic competitiveness of the city and region, the local Chamber of Commerce has warned.

Limerick City Council is determined to open up more bus lanes into the city centre, despite strong resistance from residents groups.

The local authority insists the city centre needs bus lane access and is pressing ahead with plans to open up a lane from the new bridge at the Crescent shopping centre into the city.
