THE first sod has been turned on the initial phase of LK Green Connect.
The development will deliver high quality walking, cycling and public realm infrastructure in the town centre. It forms the first phase of the wider planned network known as ‘LK Green Connect’ that will ultimately connect across a series of town centre destinations.
Welcoming the progression of the project to site, Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council Jack Murray said, “The Council is progressing an ambitious programme of regeneration projects in Letterkenny which is focused on strengthening the county’s largest town and regional centre as an attractive, accessible and thriving place.
“The project is the first of its kind in Letterkenny and marks the first key regeneration project under the Letterkenny 2040 Regeneration Programme to progress to site. This is a very exciting milestone to see tangible progress on the ground and to build a more effective regional centre.”
Phase one will be developed in the area of Letterkenny Public Service Centre – Joe Bonner Road – Neil T Blaney Road. As the first step, it will be transformative in rolling out the wider LK Green Connect project which will be the backbone of walking, cycling and public realm infrastructure, connecting town centre destinations, giving options for how people move around and within the town centre and providing an exciting new experience in navigating the urban environment.
