Plans for a new urban greenway along part of an old railway line that will ultimately link Cork’s western suburbs to a large city park, are poised to go out for public consultation.

Cork City Council engineers have briefed councillors on the draft plans for the 3.8km long 4m-wide pedestrian and cycle path, running from the Chetwynd reservoir off Sarsfield Road to the Kinsale Road roundabout, along the route of the old Bandon railway line.
