[Leading Cork to take its place as a World Class City] __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Roads Resurfacing The Roads Operations Division completed over 150,000 square metres of road resurfacing in 2021 on regional, local and estate roads. Highlights included Shandon Street and The Lough Road, as well as twelve newly pedestrianised city centre streets, as part of the Council’s Re -imagining Cork programme:
• • • • • • • • • • • •
Caroline Street
Cook Street
Grafton Street
Little Anne Street Little Cross Street Marlboro Street Maylor Street
Oliver Plunkett Street Pembroke Street Paul Street (part of) Peter and Paul Place
Phoenix Street.
Most of these streets were resurfaced before society reopened in April 2021 and before the peak usage time of the summer months.
Environment Deep cleans Street cleaning crews carried out numerous deep cleans of the pavement surfaces and street furniture in the city centre areas. These areas need the most attention due to the volume of daily footfall. The street cleaning crews use a hotwash pressure washer which is efficient in removing stubborn dirt but also a useful way of removing germs from surfaces. A rotary scrubbing attachment is used on the pressure washer for removing gum from the city street.
