Cork City Council will continue to reduce the levels of on-street parking in the city and urban town centres over the lifetime of the plan to accommodate a wide range of sustainable transport measures including bus priority, laybys, safer crossing facilities, seating, contra-flow cycle lanes, parklets, bicycle share schemes and cycle parking. Additional on-street spaces will be repurposed to support flood management schemes and public realm improvements including street trees, wider footpaths and recreational facilities. Where on-street parking is provided to support the economic functions of the City and urban town centres, the emphasis will be on supporting a quick turnover of spaces to ensure that spaces are readily available for those businesses that rely upon them. As outlined Chapter 4 Transport and Mobility of the Draft Plan, Cork City Council is committed to delivering in excess of 100 km of new or enhanced cycling infrastructure including but not limited to segregated cycle lanes during the lifetime of this Plan. Recommendation: No change As part of the Cork Bus Connects project which is currently on public display and consultation significant bus service improvements in terms of routes and frequencies are proposed for the Blarney-Tower-Kerry Pike area. Additional routes and services encompassing connections between Tower, Ballincollig and Holyhill areas respectively are proposed. Recommendation:
Tower/Kerry Pike
Submission highlights that whilst bus services from Tower to the City Centre and beyond have improved in recent times bus routes serving the west of the city and Apple are required. Additional submission highlights that a bus route serving Kerry Pike has been omitted from CMATS.
