Plans for two key bike lanes will come before Cork City Council for approval next week.

The proposed Melbourne Road/Rossa Avenue bike lane near Cork Institute of Technology, and the Donovan’s Road bike lane project — which includes upgrades along College Rd and a new cycle path to replace an existing path linking Glasheen Rd to Magazine Rd — are both due before councillors next Monday for decision, following public consultation.
