City Hinterland designation shall play a strong role in terms of linking the open space, sports and recreation amenity facilities of Cork City and County.
For this reason, it is suggested that the objectives of the CiDP would specifically reference the delivery of the type of infrastructure that can support the primary objective of these areas:
− Investments in public transport to reach the open spaces
− Investment in proposed amenity routes to include pedestrian and cycle networks to promote recreational uses
− Blue and green infrastructure to promote the use of the River Lee as an amenity [blue way]
− Facilities that would promote the enjoyment and dwell-time of visitors and recreation users of open space, sports and recreation amenity facilities
