STC D - Hollyhill to City

STC D - Hollyhill to City

The Hollyhill to City Sustainable Transport Corridor (STC D) commences at the Apple Campus on Tadhg Barry Road. A short extension has been added to STC D, along Harbour View Road between the junction with Blarney Road and the junction with Tadhg Barry Road. The corridor proceeds on Tadhg Barry Road, Harbour View Road, Baker’s Road and Cathedral Road.

From Cathedral Road the corridor proceeds on Cathedral Street, Roman Street, Upper John Street, John Redmond Street and Mulgrave Road to Camden Quay. The proposed corridor also connects in with Sustainable Transport Corridor C (STC C) - Blackpool to City at the intersection of O’Connell Street and Watercourse Road.

Priority will be provided for buses on STC D using dedicated bus lanes on Tadhg Barry Road, Harbour View Road and Baker’s Road as far as the junction with St. Mary’s Health Campus. Cathedral Road, Cathedral Street, Roman Street, Upper John Street, John Redmond Street and Mulgrave Road are physically constrained. A series of bus priority traffic signals and bus gates at key locations will remove through traffic and deliver bus priority along this section of the STC.

Connectivity for cyclists includes dedicated cycle tracks on Tadhg Barry Road, Harbour View Road and Baker’s Road as far as the junction of Baker’s Road and St. Colmcille’s Road. From here dedicated cycle tracks are provided on St. Colmcille’s Road, Sunvalley Drive, North Monastery Road and O’Connell Street as far as the junction of O’Connell Street and Watercourse Road. Cycling facilities then connect into the proposals for Sustainable Transport Corridor C (STC C) - Blackpool to City, where it overlaps along Watercourse Road, from O’Connell Street to Cathedral Walk. From here it is proposed that STC D cycleway follows a quiet street route along Upper John Street, Lower John Street and Knapp’s Square.
