It will also encourage a ‘modal shift’ with more people choosing to cycle and walk instead of always using their cars.”
Colr. Duffy said the meeting on Friday last was an opportunity for residents to provide useful input and feedback relating to the scheme.
She added that there had been “huge investment” by council and the EU in green infrastructure projects.
“There are a number of other greenways currently ready to begin including the Buncrana Road scheme which is to be welcomed. I am also working to ensure that the Culmore greenway project not only enhances the quality of life for all residents from Muff to Pennyburn but also becomes a major infrastructural asset for the whole city and region.”
