Meeting held in Mahon as neighbourhood bike scheme disrupts residents 

The meeting, attended by up to 80 people, heard concerns about the roadworks, the level of consultation with residents, and a ‘disregard for the daily lives of people living in Mahon’

Angry residents have demanded changes to ongoing work on Cork’s first neighbourhood bike scheme — a multi-million investment in designed to connect an entire suburb.

The calls came during a “heated” community forum meeting in Mahon on Wednesday as work continues on the construction of a 5.5km network of segregated safe cycle paths, bike lanes, and footpaths designed to create the city’s first 20-minute neighbourhood.
