3 Kilometres of new and improved footpaths were delivered across the county in 2025.
During 2025, Active Travel Limerick delivered a programme of pedestrian focused investment through its Active Travel Programme, supported by the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiative and the Towns and Villages funding stream. These works focused on improving the safety, walkability and overall public realm quality in towns and villages across the county.
The 2025 programme included the delivery of 3 kilometres of new and improved footpaths, strengthening connections within and between local towns and villages.
These footpath enhancements were delivered across a range of locations in the county, including Feohanagh, Strand, Ballyagran, Ballyorgan, Kilteely, Cappamore, Doon, and roads and streets serving Scoil Mhuire Ma Rua in Murroe and Athea National School in Athea.
The programme also delivered additional pedestrian safety measures. This included new pedestrian crossings, the installation of 50 upgraded or new public lighting units, and other traffic calming measures.
Across all locations, the works completed in 2025 represented a step forward in building safer, healthier and more connected communities. By prioritising better footpaths, safer crossings and improved lighting, the Active Travel Programme aims to enable and encourage more walking, cycling, scooting and wheeling in towns and villages throughout County Limerick.
By wheeling we mean the activity of using a wheelchair or other similar device that has wheels that assists people with different mobility needs.
