Brother of cyclist killed on her way to work criticises decision not to widen Cork road

The brother of a woman killed while cycling to work has criticised Cork City councillors’ decision to vote down proposals to widen one of the city’s busiest roads to accommodate bikes and public transport.

The €4m Wilton Corridor Project was voted down by 16 votes to eight at Monday night’s meeting of the Council, which was preceded by a protest by residents - some of whom would have lost some of their front gardens as part of the plan.
