Our role was to ensure transport enabled, rather than constrained, Gort’s regeneration. Through pragmatic, locally-informed advice on parking, servicing and street design, we helped create a masterplan that prioritises people, improves safety and accessibility, and delivers a coherent vision for a more vibrant town centre.

Project context

The Gort Town Centre Masterplan forms part of County Galway’s Town Centre First programme, responding to long-standing challenges of traffic dominance and parking pressure. The project reimagines Gort’s core through public realm enhancements that create a safer, more accessible and people-focused town centre.

Our work

Momentum provided transport advice to inform the design and delivery of the Gort Town Centre Masterplan. Our input covered parking strategy, servicing, cycling facilities and road layout, helping to balance reduced traffic dominance with continued access for businesses while supporting a safer, more attractive and sustainable town centre.

Client outcomes

Momentum helped the client achieve a deliverable, policy-aligned masterplan by resolving transport challenges early. Our advice reduced risk, avoided abortive redesign, and balanced access, parking and public realm ambitions. This saved time and cost while delivering a safer, more accessible and people-focused town centre.
