It is great to see the significant improvements Cork City Council have made to the cycle network in the last 12 months. That said, many people living in the city do not have access to safe cycle routes and large parts of the city are not appealing to people who may wish to cycle.  There is also still some disconnects in the existing cycle infrastructure where cycle paths are not fully connected.  Major artery routes need to be of high quality and segregated by hard infrastructure (kerbing, etc). A clear roadmap needs to be provided for what routes will be delivered over the lifetime of the City Development Plan.  The focus should be on promoting active travel rather than inforstructure for motor vechicles.
