Authority in contact with Cork homeowners potentially impacted by 'super bus lanes'

Compulsory purchase orders will be required in several places along all of the routes — impacting hundreds of properties

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has begun issuing letters to hundreds of property owners across Cork City to identify those who may be impacted by one of the 11 super bus lanes in its multi-million BusConnects scheme.

The letters say the authority intends to seek planning later this year to change the road layout close to their property as part of a project designed to transform Cork’s bus system — to make journeys by bus fast, reliable, and punctual.
