Cork City Council will update the Public Realm Strategy (including the Masterplan) during the lifetime of the Plan. The design of the quaysides will be a key priority as the provision of new public access and public realm on the River Lee waterfront is an early catalyst project that the City Council will seek to deliver to open up public access to the City Docks. Development proposals will be expected to provide public open space to a minimum of 15% of the net developable site area, and configure this space to reflect the land use zoning objectives, the strategic landscape concept and best practice in urban and landscape design. Establishing a strong Green and Blue Infrastructure network, including strong tree corridors, and will be a core requirement. Public realm proposals will need to provide for all age groups and universal design. Development proposals will be encouraged to meet the active recreational infrastructure needs of the development as part of their proposals within public and communal space. To ensure that the Centre Park Road street corridor is 32m in width and other streets are provided taking into account the transport- related functional requirements set out in the Draft Cork City Docks ABTA and the corresponding DMURS guidance, combined with best practice in urban and landscape design. To ensure that the “Indicative Streets” are provided in broad alignment with the corridors indicated in Volume 2: Mapped Objectives. Objective 10.33 South Docks Drainage Strategy To implement the South Docks Drainage Strategy 2021.
Objective 10.31
Draft Cork City Docks Area-Based Transport Assessment (ABTA) To implement the Draft Cork City Docks ABTA and its key recommendations, including: • Achieving a 75:25 modal split in favour of sustainable transport modes. • The delivery of the City Docks Transport Network and a clear street hierarchy that confines vehicular access to the City Docks within traffic cells in order to optimise the placemaking and public realm potential of the City Docks. • High quality walking / cycling streets and strategic routes along the quays, including improvements to the pedestrian / cycle realm at Albert Quay / Eamon de Valera Bridge (as illustrated in Volume 2: Mapped Objectives). • Transit orientated development, including the phased delivery of improvements to public transport from bus services, high quality bus services and the LRT. • City Docks Bridge delivery. • The provision of new pedestrian / cycle streets between Monahan’s Road and Blackrock Road. • Demand Management measures including maximum car parking standards. • Preparation of a Mobility Hub Feasibility Study during the lifetime of this Plan.
