Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development what public consultation is planned in respect of the rapid transit (E-Way) proposals for the Comber Greenway.

Answer:

Following the Executive's endorsement of the findings of the Strategic Outline Case (SOC), a dedicated Rapid Transit Division has been established to take the project forward. At present they are drawing up a project programme and, as part of the preliminary design, are considering a range of route options to best meet the objectives within the SOC. The preliminary design will form the basis for public consultation at the appropriate time, which will probably be in the latter part of this year.
