Chief Executive’s Report on Draft Plan Consultation
Volume 2 – Summary of Submissions Received
Summary of Submission and Observation:
• In the context of the Road Traffic (Amendment) (Electric Scooter Trials) Bill the Plan needs to include measures that will assist in accommodating E-Scooters in the urban environment, including infrastructure and amenity. In order to provide for e-scooters there will need to be a strong cycle infrastructure network required. • E-Scooters to be formally referenced in the Plan as a possible mode of transport to be provided for (subject to legislation and provisions), including measures to facilitate trials should Cork City Council opt to participate in them (s3 of Bill) • Go slow areas in congested urban areas to reduce the risk of conflict between E-Scooters, cycles and pedestrians. • On-street car parking spaces may be required to provide for electric scooters;

Summary of Submission and Observation:
The proposed Greenway (including a cycle route) through the Glen Park should omitted on the grounds that:
• It will have an adverse impact on the slow / calm nature of the park and safety for young children; and • It will require wider paths that will damage the landscape and biodiversity value of the Park; and • There are alternatives that should be considered for this purpose. • Proposed cycle route through the Glen Park should be omitted from the Cycle Network • Proposed “Walkway and Cycleway” Mapped Objective through the Glen Park should be omitted from Volume 2 / Map 5.

Summary of Submission and Observation:
• The erstwhile navigation and quayside character of the river channels testifies to the very origins of the city; this character should on no account be erased. • Enhance Objective 10.13 (and other relevant objectives) to ensure that objectives in the Plan provide sufficient protection to the special character of Cork’s river channels and their built and cultural heritage. • Refine existing objectives to ensure protection to the character of the river channels through any planning process for changes to the built environment (e.g. flood defence works).
