Council seek public input on Ennis local transport plan
ENNIS Municipal District are seeking to understand how local residents, students, workers and visitors currently travel to and around Clare's principle town.
Clare County Council (CCC) are developing a Local Transport Plan for Ennis to support sustainable growth into the future and would like the public's feedback on the current transport offerings in the town to understand where things are working well, and where improvements need to be made.
They have set up a survey to identify what would make travel easier for the public, including journeys made by foot, bike, public transport and by car, and to understand the challenges and opportunities facing users of the transport network in Ennis.
Identifying these key infrastructural requirements for the town will help the council prioritise the transport interventions required and will inform the development of the Ennis Local Transport Plan.
This survey will ask you questions about your travel habits in and around Ennis, as well as what you think works well and what should be improved.
It should take you approximately 10 minutes to complete and you can make a response up to and including Thursday, December 7, 2023.
You must be aged 16 or older to complete this survey.
A second round of public consultation will take place to present the draft Local Transport Plan in 2024 and provide opportunity for feedback.
The Ennis Local Transport Plan project is being funded by the National Transport Authority and CCC has engaged SYSTRA Ltd, a specialised transport consultant, to carry out the project.
If you wish to complete the questionnaire and identify your concerns-comments on an interactive map on-line you can access it at Ennis Local Transport Plan - online public consultation.
After completing the questionnaire, should you wish to return to make any further observations you can still link into the interactive map without having to do the survey a second time.
The closing date for responses to the survey is Thursday, December 7, 2023.
