The Straight Road cycle lane is awful and leaves people stranded while trying to cross a busy road.
Meanwhile, the same road (N22) has light segregation, an inner kerb, and a toucan x'ing a few km away.
Please sign this petition to call for safer cycling to Bcollig.

This government abandoned lower speed limits and abandoned reforms to the RSA. Is this what "deeply concerned" and "doing everything" looks like?
Red light cameras were supposed to be installed early this year. Where are they?

What's annoying about the customer service request procedures in Cork City is that you log a ticket and you rarely get an email acknowledgement or reply.
In some instances works are carried out, but in others, (like the cycle lane below to Bcollig), nothing is done and you don't know why.

Back in 2018 the IE quoted me as saying 'Much of the design could be described as “tokenism”' regarding the Sarsfield Road Strategy Transport Corridor project.
2025, and those comments are still valid in my opinion.

There's clearly a need for operational AGS parking near the Bridewell.
But parking across the paths and pedestrian plazas isn't the solution.

However it's being used as a rat run to avoid the Christy Ring Br x Camden Q junction. Most vehicles turn right illegally
With €1M + of p investment, this scheme needs to be either fixed or referred to the PAC
