Connected city/ sustainable and active travel
Implement the CMATS and develop a transformed sustainable transport system with a significant shift toward walking, cycling and public transport and to enshrine this principle in all development across the city. Connected city; sustainable and active travel
1. Facilitating walking and cycling • Build on South Quays sustainable transport improvements; Improve pedestrian and cycle linkages along quays on arterial routes (e.g. assess current layouts/flows/flooding risk), guided by Cork Cycle Network Plan and the City Centre movement strategy; open up pedestrian and cycle linkages along the quays in city centre core and to/from the Docklands as areas become developed • Better Identify and develop rest points in high footfall areas and align with wayfinding initiative (see below) • Ensure security and rest for pedestrians and cyclists and launch a campaign on sharing spaces • Increase awareness of availability of bicycle parking facilities and trial provision of sheltered facilities in high footfall areas
2. Facilitate public transport improvements • Implement the CMATS plan and continue to plan and prepare for the delivery of LRT - Initiate wayfinding initiative and prepare for increased footfall to 2025 and improve public signage on routes to/from Kent - Continued cooperation between Irish Rail, the City Council, and other partners on the development of Kent Station and its environs - Build on the MacCurtain St improvement scheme and the South Quays sustainable transport improvements (note BusConnect interdependency) and advance the development of the Movement Strategy (Anglesea Street, South Mall and adjacent streets) Station and the city centre by ensuring there is clear signposting between key areas in the city centre - The city’s 14km of bus lanes in the city centre can be audited to identify congestion points and opportunities for expansion. - Complete audit of bus stops’ location and accessibility, review key pinch points in the city, development of bus lanes and bus stops in vicinity of strategic arterial routes
• Improved pedestrian and cycle linkages • Bike parking facilities • Kent Station development • Wayfinding initiative • City Centre Movement Strategy implementation • CMATS • LRT • BusConnects Opportunities
