A consultation on the Letterkenny 2040 regeneration strategy has opened to the public.
The consultation sets out more detailed design concepts for 11 key regeneration sites and initiatives across Letterkenny town centre.
This is the third and final phase of consultation to prepare a regeneration strategy for Letterkenny town centre. The project, which is funded by the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) and match funded by Donegal County Council, aims to imagine the future of the town centre to 2040 and beyond.
The design concepts have been prepared by an award-winning consultancy team led by urban design and regeneration consultants The Paul Hogarth Company and also comprising Hall Black Douglas Architects, WS Atkins Transport Consultants, AV Browne and Queen’s University Belfast. The draft masterplan is built upon the first consultation phase in February 2021.
Opening the consultation process, Cllr Jimmy Kavanagh, mayor of the Letterkenny and Milford Municipal District said: “I am delighted to reach this milestone where we now have more detailed ideas and concepts for how priority parts of the town can be strengthened and revitalized. This includes ideas for diverse development at Lower Main Street including town centre homes, exciting ideas for a Creative Enterprise Hub and urban parkland to enhance the Cathedral Quarter and concepts for the development of a regional transport hub along Pearse Road connected to public realm and walking and cycling infrastructure.”
The consultation is open until Monday, June 6 and can be viewed here.
The design concepts can be viewed at Dillon’s Hotel on Main Street, Letterkenny on Tuesday, May 31 between 3pm-8pm.
