The results of the Macroom Bypass Evaluations have been published by TII. Read more about the key findings and link to the full report in Kelly McCarthy, Senior Transport Planner at TII's post below 👇
Findings are out! Following the opening of the N22 Macroom bypass: - Traffic is down 40%, and medium and heavy goods vehicles down 60% - Footfall is up >25% and visitors are reporting that they are visiting more often – Macroom without heavy traffic is now a more pleasant place to visit and spend time - 12 business owners reported positive or very positive impacts from the bypass on their business, 12 reported no impact, and only one negatively impacted - Businesses are overall happy with removal of the traffic - More children are walking to school - Noise levels are substantially down Loads more in the report! We’ve spent the past two+ years collecting and analysing a vast set of pre-bypass and post-bypass opening data, with the help of Cork County Council. Importantly, we also found no notable increase in cycling, and indications of some induced local traffic into the town – both things to monitor going forward.

At TII, the development of sustainable communities is a key objective across all our transport infrastructure projects. As we continue to celebrate Luas20, we're highlighting its role in the creation of the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone (SDZ). - The extension of the Green Line to Brides Glen is supporting the delivery of new development in the Cherrywood (SDZ), one of the largest planned urban developments in Ireland. - Luas provides critical transport infrastructure that is supporting the delivery of thousands of new homes and jobs, as well as new supporting infrastructure in the SDZ. Four Luas stops currently serve the SDZ, with a further stop at Brennanstown to be opened once new development is completed. - Luas is an intrinsic part of the development, and its provision has ensured that the new community is served by high-quality and reliable public transport which enables residents to make sustainable travel choices from the outset.
