2. UNDERSTANDING THE PLACE
2.2 Sustainable Travel and Parking
Key Roads
Parking • Dense land use and historic narrow streets in Shandon create high demand for limited on-street parking. • Despite low car ownership, parking issues are severe around Firkin Crane and St. Anne’s. • Indiscriminate parking obstructs access for larger vehicles and the Cork sightseeing bus. • Shandon Street, the main commercial area, has limited time-restricted parking. • Visitor parking around Firkin Crane is scarce, causing local traffic issues. • The existing parking permit system is inconsistently enforced.
