Public Consultation on Development of Local Transport Plan

CORK CITY COUNCIL INVITES PUBLIC VIEWS

ON DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN

During June and July 2008, Cork City Council will be asking the public for their views on how transport can be improved in Cork city. The purpose of the Plan is to provide a direction and focus for Cork City Council to enable the Council deliver a high quality sustainable transport system.

Four national schools: Scoil Mhuire Banríon, Na Croise Naofa Scoil, Scoil Mhuire Fatima and an Spioraid Naomh (Buachaillí) have been assisting in the process by developing three dimensional maps of the city area. The maps will be on display at a number of locations in the city. The public are invited to attend one of these locations and place an issue card to express how they would like to see transport in Cork city.  These locations are:
