BusConnects Cork project drops proposals for some bus and bike lanes

The revised proposals are due to be published for more public consultation by the end of this month or early next month

Contentious sections of bus and bike lanes have been dropped under revised BusConnects Cork proposals.

More ‘bus gates’ are also being considered in a bid to reduce land take and tree cutting. The changes were outlined to public representatives in recent days as the National Transport Authority (NTA) continues honing the design proposals for 12 sustainable transport corridors (STCs) across the city.
