TII seeks pause on moves to increase car parking in Cork city

TII says the proposed changes do not meet the objectives of Government policy, and warns that if the variation is approved, it will encourage private car dependency in the suburbs especially.

Proposed changes to Cork city’s car parking policy could encourage more dependency on the private car, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has warned.

The agency said the changes could also potentially undermine the provision of active travel and public transport in the short to medium term, which would have an adverse impact on the national road network.
