Introduction The purpose of this report is to outline the proposals associated with the project ‘Glanmire Road Improvement and Sustainable Transport Works’. This involves a suite of measures (refer to Figure 1) to improve the accessibility, sustainability, capacity and safety of the transport network in the Sallybrook, Glanmire and Riverstown areas. Figure 1.1 Glanmire Road Improvements and Sustainable Transport Works AECOM 4 Glanmire Road Improvements and Sustainable Transport Works Part 8 Planning Application Report The following is a list of the proposed projects included within the Glanmire Road Improvements and Sustainable Transport Works project. · Project No. 1 Church Hill Junction; · Project No. 2 Banning Right Turn at Dunkettle Slip Road; · Project No. 3 Glanmire Bridge/Village (Incorporates P17); · Project No. 4 Riverstown Junction; · Project No. 5 Signalised Junction Glanmire Road/Hazelwood Road; · Project No. 6 Signalised Junction Riverstown Road / East Cliff Road; · Project No. 7 Riverstown Bridge; · Project No. 8 New Link Road (L3010 to Hazelwood Road); · Project No. 9 L2999 Dunkettle Road; · Project No. 10 Flaring at Tivoli Roundabout; · Project No. 12 R615/R639 Junction; · Project No. 13 Brook Inn Junction; · Project No. 14 Footway Improvements Fernwood to Riverstown; · Project No. 15 Glanmire & Riverstown Greenway; · Project No. 16 New Pedestrian & Cycle Bridge adjacent to existing Glanmire Bridge; · Project No. 20 East Cliff Road Pinch Point. 1.1 Background Cork County Council has secured €5.9 million from the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF) for the Glanmire area. LIHAF is a Government initiative to address significant public infrastructure deficits, where the lack of infrastructure is considered to have hindered the development of housing. A significant amount of reports and assessment has been undertaken to identify the suites of measures contained in the ‘Glanmire Road Improvement and Sustainable Transport Works’. · A report titled ‘Transport Assessment and Traffic Model for Dunkettle / Ballinglanna Lands, Glanmire, Co Cork’ dated February 2016 was prepared by MHL & Associates Ltd Consulting Engineers for Cork County Council. · The purpose of this report was to assess the impact of the development of zoned lands and to identify the transport infrastructure that will be required to accommodate this development. · Essentially this report provides the justification for the measures that will be implemented through the ‘Glanmire Road Improvement and Sustainable Transport Works’ project. · A report titled ‘Glanmire Urban Expansion Area Transport Assessment’ dated July 2017 was prepared by Systra/Jacobs for the National Transport Authority. This report largely concurs with the MHL report in identifying the infrastructure to support sustainable travel in the Glanmire, Riverstown and Sallybrook areas of Co. Cork.
