Nash’s Boreen Pedestrian & Cycle Scheme

Good active travel infrastructure is about more than upgrading a route. It’s about making the wider connections work. That is central to the proposed Nash’s Boreen Pedestrian & Cycle Scheme, now at Part 8 stage, with DBFL supporting Cork City Council in bringing the scheme forward.

The scheme will improve walking and cycling facilities, junctions, safety and connectivity, while strengthening links between Fair Hill, Apple International at Hollyhill, the future North West City Park and surrounding communities.

For the DBFL Cork team, a key consideration has been balancing these improvements with the character and heritage of this historic boreen. It’s a good example of the challenge at the heart of many active travel schemes: improving safety and connectivity while responding carefully to the place and community already there.

The scheme is currently at Part 8 consultation, with submissions open until 30 November 2026 at 4.00pm. https://lnkd.in/dK4HGiKC
