Bus Stop for Foxwood, Tesco, Carrig An Aird, Musgraves Business Park

Provide a suitable bus stop to and from Waterford City Center for Foxwood and Carrig An Aird housing estates and for businesses Tesco, Musgraves and The Range.

Why is this important?

There are a significant amount of houses and businesses which would benefit from this simple bus route extension, approximately 1000 citizens and 3 major retail outlets.

Housing Estates
In Foxwood, there are 80 houses with 200 more planned. In Carrig An Aird there are 88 houses. With an average of 3 people per house, this is around 864 people who could avail of this service.

Businesses
The Range, Musgraves and Tesco have large retail outlets at this location. They would certainly benefit from having a bus route nearby.

Future Planning
There is a nursing home planned near the site of the Musgrave Business Park, which will likely house up to 250 older citizens.
A bus route will be required for these citizens to get access to the city center.

ACTION
On behalf of the Residents Association of Foxwood, and all the businesses and residents in surrounding areas, we would like to petition the council and Bus Eireann to arrange a suitable bus stop extension to one or both the 601 and 603 bus routes.
This will improved provide transport options for up to 1000 residents directly, and access to 3 major retail outlets in the area.
It will also be of benefit to Bus Eireann, as they will gain extra business and provide better service to this part of the Waterford Community.

In order to do this, we would like to gather support from the community in the form of signatures on a petition. The more names on the list, the higher the chances are we can get this bus route extension.

Thanks for your support, together we can make this a great area for all citizens and businesses!

Best Regards,
