Cork Commuter Coalition
Summary of Submission and Observation:
• Submission encompasses five different areas (bus, Luas, rail, other transport, and other), and provides input on what we believe would make Cork City a better place • The creation of more urban parks. For a green country, Cork has a surprising dearth of green areas and public plazas. However, useful steps to tackling these absences include acquisition of parking lots or other brownfield sites. • Support of the Lee2Sea greenway, which would create an essential urban greenway spine for both commuting, tourism, and leisure.
