The Government recently announced a large number of grants for multiple Greenways, pedestrian and cycle paths and under projects. This came under the title of 'Active Travel Investment Allocations'.
A total of €46.9 million was allocated to Cork City Council projects with a further €20.4 million allocated to Cork County Council projects. Some of the projects are shown at the bottom of this post.
One of the grants was for €4.3 million for a new pedestrian bridge over the N40 South Ring Road connecting the Tramore Valley Park to Grange. I have more information about this project in a post from February 2021.
From what I understand, work on this project is going to commence in a few weeks. I don't know what the completion date is but I presume sometime in 2023?
The impact of this bridge is that it opens up the Tramore Valley Park a whole new area with lots of houses.
There was also a grant for €60,000 for a study to investigate the possibility of connecting the Kinsale Road & the Black Ash car park to the Tramore Valley Park. At present. there is no provision for pedestrians to cross the South Link Road.
It's not hard to imagine in a few years time that there will be a weekly 5k parkrun in Tramore Valley Park with people accessing it from all directions.
