Ballinglanna, Glanmire - Final Road Layout

More than a rat run, it will also actually be the primary road! That will be the main Glanmire bus corridor, cycle lane / greenway on the side etc.

I would have thought that the road through Marwood, then up through Fernwood should surely be upgraded to cope with this but I don't know of a plan for that.

You misunderstood the previous comments. That area will have the road and apartment buildings with creche and retail units underneath.

I didn't see anything like that.

Maybe this was a mis-read of "educational facilities" when the idea was to have creches etc? I'm not ruling it out that someone plans a school there, but it seems unlikely to me.

Ha, a creche and retail units that will never get built. Like so many other developments across the city. Its utter madness the lack of amenities, infrastructure, planning in places like Glanmire, carrigaline. There are never any local shops, creches, playgrounds, GP, in these new developments, so we have to drive everywhere, everyday and wonder why traffic is so bad. Will we ever learn……..

some of these are private enterprises though, so as much as they can be planned for in terms of design the developers cant actually be forced to provide them. i guess the planning laws could be changed so that developers have to provide certain services for X number of years depending on the size and type of development, but i dont think that could actually work in practice

While on the subject, what is going on slightly further south at the other side of the road (On the right as you go up the hill). Based on Cork City Council map it seems also part of O’Flynn planning.
