'Offending' street light in bike lane to be removed

Engineers overseeing the scheme stressed the work was not finished, and the stretch with the two 'offending' street poles was not open for use

Street lights that have been left in the middle of new bike lanes built as part of Cork’s first neighbourhood cycling scheme will be moved before it opens.

Cork City Council confirmed the plan after cyclists raised concerns about the positioning of two street light columns in a new bike lane, which has been built on the Skehard Road as part of the €6m Mahon cycle scheme.
