Recommendation: Include additional text in Chapter 4:
Cork City Council will work with the National Transport Authority on the implementation of the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS) 2040 which is intended to incrementally deliver the specified transport infrastructure interventions and public transport services over time, to align with the continued growth of the City and wider Metropolitan Area. In this regard, CMATS is a live document, subject to periodic review and is intended to be scalable, flexible and future proofed enough to meet changes in population and employment growth. This, however, comes with the proviso that any such changes will still need to be consistent with the principle of compact growth and public transport oriented development. Frequencies of routes, new routes and consolidation of routes is being considered as part of the Cork BusConnects Plan which is currently on public consultation. This Development Plan will be amended to reflect the recommendations of the BusConnects plan as they arise. Recommendation: Insert new text, This Development Plan will be amended to reflect recommendations of the BusConnects plan as they arise.
Bus Routes and BusConnects
A number of submissions received on the success of the 220 (24 hr) bus service and calls for its expansion of this type of service for other routes. Additional submissions highlight a number of new routes and services for consideration on the northside of the City and new settlements now in the functional area of Cork City Council.
