Cork County Council has released detailed plans for a new greenway that will link the county’s largest town with a key pharma hub. The 5.5 km route is designed for walking and cycling, aiming to improve local connectivity and promote sustainable transport. The project is part of broader efforts to enhance infrastructure and support economic growth in the region.
The proposed path will connect Carrigaline, a major town in County Cork, with Ringaskiddy, home to a significant pharmaceutical facility. Officials say the greenway will not only reduce traffic congestion but also encourage healthier lifestyles among residents. Environmental considerations were central to the planning process, with the route intended to pass through scenic and ecologically sensitive areas.
The initiative has received positive feedback from local authorities and community representatives. It is expected to be a key component of Cork’s long-term strategy for sustainable urban development. Further consultations are planned before the project moves forward.
