Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / May 28 2002: Plan for revamp of Cork city gets go-ahead

In an ambitious city council plan for the city centre, areas such as Patrick's Street, Oliver Plunkett Street, the Huguenot Quarter and the Grand Parade will be significantly improved. Patrick's Street will be the first area to be transformed with work due to start at the end of this month. The new design will significantly reduce the space given to traffic with over half of the area from Merchant's Quay to Daunt Square being set aside for pedestrians. Theproject will look at shop signs and clear away the clutter that has accumulated over the last few years.
