Plans for roadworks and a new footpath in the village of Fintown have opened to public consultation.
Donegal County Council is inviting members of the public to have their say on the project, which would see new traffic calming measures and a new 1.3km footpath installed on the R250 road.
The council proposes to upgrade the road surface, the road drainage and the footpath between the existing speed limits signs and incorporating the junction to the R252 (An Dúchoraidh).
The purpose of this scheme is to apply traffic calming measures to reduce speed through the village, improve safety and improve the quality of the hardscape environment of Fintown with the addition of some trees/planting, public lighting, improved carparking and signage.
