Some thoughts for anyone like me who has left their Cork Busconnects submission to the last minute.. There are plans to demolish the existing footbridge over the South Link and replace with a slightly wider shared path. I think a better approach

would be to build a second, parallel bridge for a few reasons.
1. The construction process could take years during which time we'd be without a bridge at all.
2. Shared paths are nearly always suboptimal, they put pedestrians and cyclists in conflict.
3. It's more sustainable to
build a second smaller bridge than replace a perfectly good existing bridge.
4. The connection to Rockboro Rd. would be several higher metres higher than the existing connection to Gasworks Rd, meaning a much steeper slope to access the bridge from Hibernian and Marina Tce. dirs.
