10.153 An integral element of the movement strategy is the waterfront greenway. Forming part of the EuroVelo 1 Route, its south-facing orientation will create an attractive, east-west pedestrian and cycle journey between the City Centre and Little Island. The greenway also connects to a network of pedestrian and cycle streets designed to the south of the Central Bus Corridor, enabling safe and people friendly permeability between Tivoli’s neighbourhoods and the waterfront.
Pedestrians and Cyclists
10.151 In accordance with the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (DMURS), the Tivoli Docks Movement Strategy sets out a highly legible and functional street hierarchy that prioritises pedestrians, cyclists and public transport while facilitating external connectivity by all modes. Arterial routes and link streets connect key destinations and facilitate a range of users. These routes and streets are supported by strategically designed gateways junctions, located at both entrances, creating essential filters for traffic calming and place-making. 10.152 Every street is designed to create a safe environment conducive to walking and cycling. Local streets and filtered permeability measures prevent vehicular through-traffic, with design speeds set at 30 kph (or lower). High quality public realm and soft landscap- ing features including seating, lighting, rain gardens and trees is required to deliver quality place making and enhance climate mitigation.
Public Transport
10.154 A new train station is positioned centrally along the rail corridor to the north of the site. This location maximises its 5-minute walking catchment area by covering the majority of the site. CMATS proposals for the Cork Suburban Rail Corridor mean the station will be served by a high-frequency rail service. High-quality cycling connections to the station will further bolster interchange possibilities.
