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 K proceeds on Ballycurreen Road to Grange Road and Donnybrook Hill. Footpath, cycle track, bus lane, and general traffic lane are provided at appropriate locations.

On Ballycurreen Road 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 Ballycurreen Road and Grange 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.

Starting at the junction of Ballycurreen Road/Grange Road the STC K proceeds east where it travels along Grange Road to Donnybrook Hill. A footpath, cycle track and general traffic lane are proposed in each direction. A bus lane is proposed in one direction which provides bus priority through the relevant junctions.

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.
