Innishmore Ballincollig Active Travel Improvement Works

Planning/Design Phase

Works Extent

Innishmore, Ballincollig, between its junction with the R608 Main Street and Ballincollig Community Centre.

It is proposed to provide segregated cycle lanes on Innishmore, connecting to a proposed two-way cycle lane on the west-east between Innishmore Drive and Ballincollig Community Centre.  A toucan crossing will link the two and provide a dedicated crossing point for pedestrians.

Objective

To provide safe and connected segregated cycle lanes on Innishmore and improved pedestrian crossing facilities.  These facilities will encourage commuters, residents and students to use sustainable modes of transport and reduce local car-based journeys for short trips to Ballincollig Regional Park, schools and businesses.
