Ambitious new plans for a major development of Limerick’s riverside will maximise the city’s recreational, tourism and ecological potential.Central to this strategy is the development of a series of “looped walks”, linked to the city centre and to the expanding suburbs of Coonagh and Caherdavin, reports the Limerick Post. Shannon Development and Limerick City Council are examining an extension of the riverside landscape and its opportunity for walking and hiking routes.
The priority walkway from Shannon Bridge will run to Barrington’s Pier and extend on to the tunnel crossing at Coonagh. The continuous looped walkway will proceed under Meelick Bridge and along the creek, around the southern boundary of the industrial estate to Coonagh Road and on to Coonagh Roundabout.
