NOTICE UNDER SECTION 38 OF THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1994 (AS AMENDED)
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 38 of the Road Traffic Act 1994 (as amended), Cork City Council hereby gives notice of its intention to carry out works in the interest of the safety and convenience of road users.
Hazelwood Road Upgrade, Glanmire
It is proposed to provide dedicated cycle lanes and improved pedestrian facilities on the L-2966 along Hazelwood Road from the entrance into the Hazelwood Centre/Crestfield Centre to the junction with Aldi, Glanmire. The proposed cycle route will connect the previously approved Glanmire Roads Improvement Scheme Part 8 Planning from Hazelwood Junction to the Glanmire Greenway.
The scheme will include design measures to transform the 300m stretch into a street environment with enhanced pedestrian and cycling facilities and public lighting along with improved access points to local shops and schools.
The main elements of the proposed works are:
• Provision of new pedestrian footpaths and dedicated cycle lanes along the route.
• Redesign of the road for enhanced pedestrian and cycling environment
• Installation of new energy efficient and biodiversity sensitive public lighting.
• The renewing and upgrading of traffic signals where required.
• Other necessary associated works.
In accordance with the Habitats Directive, an Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening has been carried out for the project, in relation to any potential impacts upon the Cork Harbour Special Protection Area [Site No. 004030] and the Great Island Channel Special Area of Conservation [Site No. 001058]. The findings of the AA screening concluded that no significant effects on any Natura 2000 sites is likely, and it was not necessary to undertake any further stage of the Appropriate Assessment process.
In addition, the proposed project has been screened to determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required and it has been concluded that the proposed development would not be likely to have significant effect on the environment and that the preparation and submission of an environmental impact report is not therefore required.
Details of the proposed works including an Appropriate Assessment screening report and Environmental Impact Assessment screening report are available for inspection online at https://consult.corkcity.ie and also at Reception Desk, Cork City Council, City Hall, Anglesea Street, Cork on working days from Friday 3rd October 2025 to Friday 31st October 2025 between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00pm
Any observations in relation to this proposal should be made electronically through https://consult.corkcity.ie/en/ or forwarded in an envelope marked “Hazelwood Road Upgrade, Glanmire” to Senior Engineer, Infrastructure Development, City Hall, Anglesea Street, Cork. Final date for submissions is 4.00 p.m. on Friday 31st October 2025.
All comments, including names and addresses of those making submissions and observations, submitted to Cork City Council in regard to this scheme, will form part of the report to be presented at the monthly meeting of Cork City Council. Accordingly, they will be included in the minutes of that meeting and may appear in the public domain. Cork City Council will retain data for no longer than is necessary and in accordance with the Council’s Retention Policy and relevant Data Protection legislation.
