Last month we reported on plans for a new Cafe in the former Rochestown Railway station building, by a private developer. Now, as expected, Cork City Council is advertising a public consultation on the overall upgrade. This will be the “initial public consultation” on “Phase 2” of the “Passage Railway Greenway Improvement Project” (from Mahon towards Passage West).
Thanks to the May 2019 boundary expansion Cork City Council now controls lands from Mahon to (almost) Passage West. It plans on upgrading the existing walkway along the former railway line, which is now branded as a ‘Greenway’.
The City Council is undertaking preliminary design work to improve this section of the highly popular amenity. The project aims to improve safety, increase use of the route, protect and improve biodiversity and improve access along the greenway.
