may not be able to walk/cycle or use public transport in areas of demand. Parking stations which contain blue badge parking, age-friendly parking. In addition, a strategy for providing on-street bicycle parking for non- standard bicycles should be developed; • Objective 9.17: Air Quality – a network of air quality monitoring stations should be developed, particularly on the northside; • Para. 11.243: Cycle Parking / Design Standards Guidance Note – this should be prepared within 12 months of the adoption of the Plan using the DLRCoCo and best practice examples as templates, and hooked into the Plan by means of a variation. This will enable cycle parking to be provided to meet quantitative and qualitative requirements that will lead to a significant increase in cycling; • Table 11.14: Cycle Parking requirements should be updated to best practice standards to include a full range of land uses, long term and short stay parking, level of provision, and type of bike parking provision (e.g. provision for cargo bikes, multi-level parking, etc.); • 11.244: Cycle welfare facilities (e.g. changing / shower facilities) should be addressed in Cycle Parking / Design Standards Guidance Note; • A number of cycle campaigns are highlighted for reference in the development plan, if appropriate. • Use of imagery – a number of suggestions are made to provide more appropriate images at pages 15, 41, 21 and 532 of the Plan pertaining to cycle infrastructure. • Cycle Network Maps – a number of corrections are proposed. An existing network plan should be included to provide a baseline for comparison with the Cork Metro Network Plan. Other suggestions included. • Parking Management – an objective that clearly sets out an ambition to enforce against abuses of parking regimes should be included in the draft plan.

Lee-2-Sea Greenway Organising Committee
Summary of Submission and Observation:
• We welcome positive mentions of the Lee to Sea in the City Development Plan. That said, we are concerned that it is not explicitly included in any CDP objectives. • The submission here argues that the L2S is of profound strategic importance to Cork city and should be prioritised as a short- term objective in the city’s development plan. • Also raise other comments pertaining to the Lee to Sea that would strengthen the CDP. • Figures 2.8 and 2.20 legend should be amended to specifically refer to the Lee-to-Sea Greenway.
