Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS). CMATS objectives refers to the Lee to Sea Greenway as a short term deliverable for the section between Ballincollig and Crosshaven. The submission asks for the following amendments to the Draft Development Plan: • To include a bespoke Lee to Sea Greenway objective within Chapter 2 Core Strategy to reflect the strategic importance of this inclusive and welcoming commuter travel route for all ages and abilities, contributing to placemaking, helping to address climate change, reduce carbon emissions, improve public health and support local businesses. • To change the word ‘Greenway’ shown on the Chapter 2 Cork City Maps keys to ‘Lee to Sea Greenway’ • To include a bespoke Lee to Sea Greenway objective within Chapter 4 Transport and Mobility to support the feasibility, phasing, funding and delivery of the route within the short term, connecting Ballincollig to Passage West. This objective should include consistency of layout, design (adopting universal design principles), signage and coordination with Cork County Council at the two points where the Greenway connects with the County’s section of greenway at Passage West and outside Ballincollig. The objective should also include provision for a softer surface to accommodate joggers/runners within the width of the Greenway in both directions (as per Chicago 606 greenway).
