Blackrock Harbour Square and Park Project

Kieran's Council Work, Ward Events

Cork City Council proposes to redevelop the public realm in the vicinity of Blackrock Harbour. The project aims to build on Blackrock’s unique character as an urban village centre and enhance its potential for increased levels of business, recreation and leisure activity.

 

The project aims to improve the public realm and create a safe, open and attractive pedestrian space. A Public Park will be created within the Ursuline grounds with access provided from Blackrock Road and Church Road. Traffic calming measures will be installed to promote appropriate vehicle speeds. Traffic and parking lanes will be rationalised and new street furniture, lighting etc will be provided.

 

Particulars of the proposal will be available for   inspection at the:-

Reception Desk, Cork City Council, City Hall, Cork from Friday, 28th June 2013 until Monday, 12th August 2013, between the hours of 9.00am and 4.00pm, Monday toFriday.
