Letters to the editor: A chance to realise the city's real potential

In 'Cork eyes pedestrian plan' (30/04/20), we were warned by Cllr Des Cahill (FG) that we cannot put one lobby group's interests ahead of another as lockdown restrictions are lifted. It was interesting that he targeted cyclists!

I don't cycle but I support a greater expansion of dedicated cycling facilities within Cork City, alongside improved pedestrian access, linked to intelligent public transport services. What is lacking is a really progressive approach to massively reducing the level of private vehicle usage in/around the central Island which would enhance the living and working environment and position Cork City centre as one of the most attractive shopping, eating and entertainment city centres in Europe.
