Plans are in place for a much-needed bus shelter in Ballinamuck village. The news was announced by local councillor David Cassidy, who had been working on the project for some time.
Plans are progressing for a new bus shelter in Ballinamuck, with local councillor David Cassidy welcoming the proposed development as a further improvement to public transport facilities in the area.
Cllr Cassidy, who has been working to progress the Ballinamuck project for some time, said he was delighted to see the plans taking shape for the village, describing the proposed shelter as a much-needed facility for passengers waiting for buses.
Cllr Cassidy said the project followed the installation of bus shelters in Drumlish earlier this year and thanked Brian Kelly along with Longford County Council's Active Travel team for their work in putting the plans together.
The proposed designated bus stop will include a two-bay rural bus shelter, Kassel kerbs to be installed to assist passengers boarding and alighting, a retro-reflective bollard to improve visibility, and road markings clearly identifying the designated stopping area for buses.
The new shelter will no doubt be welcomed by local commuters and students given the much-needed protection it will provide from the temperamental Irish weather.
