Chief Executive’s Response & Recommendation
Draft Plan. It is anticipated that the outcome from this modelling will be incorporated into the Material Amendments to the Draft Plan. Destination parking will be as restrictive as the City Centre in the North Docks and the City Transition Zone. When there is a planning commitment for the tram the car parking standards in the Central and Eastern City Docks Parking Zones will be reduced to similar standards to reflect the improved accessibility of these locations. Car parking standards are maximums and they do not imply that car parking will be provided on-street or in surface car parks but will likely be provided predominantly in the form of undercrofts and basements or multi-storey car parks and mobility hubs. Recommendation: Include following text in Chapter 10: City Docks: Cork City Council and the NTA will work in partnership to seek to ensure that levels of public transport in the City Docks are increased to meet evolving trip demand patterns generated by planning commitments and project delivery. This will be especially relevant to this major regeneration project in advance of the LRT project delivery, and the ambition to ensure that a gradual ramp- up of the bus network and services is provided to meet the needs of the area and facilitate the subsequent development of the adopted tram route. This public transport improvement will primarily be delivered through BusConnects Cork, but will be supplemented by further enhancements aligned with, and responding to, the development of this overall area. It is currently envisaged that the Water Street Bridge will be a walking / cycling bridge. The South Docks will be a traffic cell for local traffic only, apart from Monahan’s Road, which will accommodate trips with their origin / destination
It is submitted that the multi-modal status of Water Street Bridge be restored, and that provision be made for a vehicular link through the site fromWater Street to Centre Park Road.
