A key part of the BusConnects Cork programme is the development of a number of “Sustainable Transport Corridors” (STCs) along key bus routes in the city, which will have dedicated bus lanes/bus priority, with improved cycling and pedestrian facilities, all of which help to build a more sustainable city and address climate change.
Three rounds of non-statutory public consultation were conducted in relation to 11 Sustainable Transport Corridors (STCs). Links to the information and documents for each round of non-statutory public consultation can be found in the menu links.
The 11 STCs that have been the subject of non-statutory public consultation have now been combined into three standalone Proposed Schemes. Click here to download the BusConnects Cork Schemes Map.
The three standalone Proposed Schemes are:
- The “Cork City North Sustainable Transport Corridors Scheme” (which combines a shortened STC A: Dunkettle to City, STC B: Mayfield to City , STC C: Blackpool to City , and STC D: Hollyhill to City).
- The “Cork City South West Sustainable Transport Corridors Scheme” (which combines STC E: Ballincollig to City, STC F: Bishopstown to City, and STC G: Togher to City).
- The “Cork City South East Sustainable Transport Corridors Scheme” (which combines STC H: Airport Road to City, STC I: Maryborough Hill to City, STC J: Mahon to City, and STC K: Kinsale Road to Douglas).
It is anticipated that applications for the three standalone proposed schemes will be submitted to An Bord Pleanála for its consideration and decision on a phased basis beginning in mid-2025.
