Chapter 4 I Transport and Mobility
Transport and Mobility Development Objectives
Strategic Objective 3 Transport and Mobility
To support the implementation of the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS). To support international, national and regional connectivity by supporting the operation and development of Cork Airport and the relocation of the Port of Cork to Cork Harbour. To integrate land-use and transportation planning to improve movement for all across Cork City. To protect, improve and maintain the operation of national and strategic regional transport networks and assets. To promote and prioritise sustainable transport including active travel (walking and cycling) and public transport; housing and employment development will be prioritised in locations where it can be served by walking, cycling and public transport. Cork City Council will support the delivery of multi- modal travel integration, smart mobility and transport networks and services that are accessible for all. Proposals for new development in Cork City will be required to minimise the need for the private car, prioritise walking, cycling and public transport, be permeable, safe and secure for walking and cycling and where possible provide for filtered permeability. New developments will provide infrastructure for Electric Vehicles within the developments. Development proposals will provide for easy access to local amenities and education facilities. Proposals for new development will be required to demonstrate their impact on the existing transport networks, commensurate with the nature and scale of the development. Mobility management plans will be required for developments that will accommodate a large number of people living, working or otherwise using the development. All new development proposals will be subject to maximum car parking standards to achieve greater modal shift and promote sustainable transport patterns. In locations where the highest intensity of development occurs, Cork City Council may consider an approach that caps car parking on an area- wide basis by means of Area Based Transport Assessments (ABTAs). The delivery of the key transport projects in CMATS will be supported by land use policies and the phasing of development which is compatible with those in CMATS’ land use outcome.
