STC K - Kinsale Road to Douglas
STC K - Kinsale Road to Douglas
The Kinsale Road to Douglas Sustainable Transport Corridor (STC K) commences close to the Bull McCabe’s pub on the eastern side of the Ballycurreen Road junction with the Kinsale Road (N27). The STC proceeds on Ballycurreen Road to Grange Road. Along this section of the STC a footpath, bus lane, and general traffic lane is provided in both directions. On Ballycurreen it is proposed to provide a footpath, and general traffic lane in each direction. A bus lane is also included where considered feasible.
Cyclists take an alternative route to buses commencing instead at the Frankfield Road and Kinsale Road junction and heading north along the Frankfield Road. An active travel scheme called ‘Active Travel Measures on Frankfield Road’ is proposed by Cork City Council. At the junction of Ballycurreen Road and Grange Road the STCs for cyclists and buses merge and travel east along the Grange Road. The STC proceeds east from the junction of Ballycurreen Road and Grange Road where it travels along Grange Road to Donnybrook Hill. On Grange Road a footpath, cycle track and general traffic lane are proposed in each direction. A bus lane is proposed in one direction. This will provide bus priority through the relevant junction.
At the junction of Grange Road and Donnybrook Hill STC K is proposed to travel on Donnybrook Hill to connect with Douglas Village via Church Street.
