Hi,

This is a bit old news now, but it hasn't been mentioned here. The Cork City Council has released the drawings for the phase 2 of the Cork Cycle Network.

There's a rather decent summary here.

I've had a rather detailed look at the drawings. I have to say, I'm overall quite positively impressed, at least by the drawings. It seems to comply at least with the cycle manual recommendations, as far as I could tell. There are lots of good ideas, strategically placed contraflow lanes, they're not afraid to remove parking slots or traffic lanes where that is needed (how much of that will actually be realised is another matter). In places, it seems to improve a lot of lane arrangement, improving the situation for cars too in places where the current arrangement is rather messy (I'm thinking mostly of Washington street, from Grand parade to Lancaster quay). Overall, this project sounds like quite heavy weight investment (with geometry corrections, footpath re arrangements, etc.), more than the more common token gestures.

I'm not sure if there's any time frame for the realisation, not even if any funding is actually available.

Deadline for submissions is 4.00pm on Wednesday, 31st October 2012.
