No Parking = No City

[poulgorm]

Why can't we have a lot more park & ride places? Apart from the Black Ash, we have none.

Why can't we have one, say, just beyond the western end of Ballincollig? No shortage of open space there. This would cater for the needs of commuters from the Macroom direction.

Loads of green fields between Blarney & the city. A park & ride there would meet the needs of commuters from the Blarney and Mallow direction.

Also on the Bandon road - a park & ride somewhere around the viaduct would cater for traffic from West Cork.

And so on, on the other main arteries into Cork.

The Marsh extends beyond what is now the central island.

The walls were originally build by invaders to keep the native Irish out.

You are fake news. And the fact that you’re just a spudgobbling mucksavage isn’t an excuse.


Sad


?

“The marsh extends beyond what is now the central island”. You’re trying to sound like you have a clu what you’re talking about but you can’t fool me kid.

It’s very easy to explain the geographical area of the Marsh in a few sentences.

Explain it for the PROC or forever hang your head in shame.

 

[TheOutdoorThreadmill]

No self respecting cork man would ever refer to the area between both channels of the Lee as the central island. It’s the oldest parish in the county. For well over 800 years it’s been heavily defended in keeping out the misfortunes who find themselves living on the wrong side of the city walls.

It's Drucker like ?

Originally, the plan was to have a number of park and ride facilities dotted around the city. One was supposed to be at Tinkers Cross, but SF Cllr. (now TD) Tommy Gould led a campaign against it as the proposed location was the only green space in the area. Oxford in England is a good example of the Park N Ride concept. There could be one at curaheen near the dog track, one at Dunkettle, one at the Commons Road and one at the Kingsley Hotel.
€5 a car all day, and unlimited bus rides in and out for however number of occupants.

That is never used, only by lads on stolen scramblers and kids bushing.

That went well and continues to do do.

 

[TheOutdoorThreadmill]

In Amsterdam at the moment. We are so far behind its not even funny. Literal light years. The metro, the trams, the trains. All like clockwork.

??

 

[TheOutdoorThreadmill]

We are though. I guess it helps that it's really flat. Cars and bikes segregated at every turn. The Dutch are doing it right regards public transport infrastructure.

Nah bud, I laughing at the fact that you are in Amsterdam for a break and log in here to complain about our public transport.
