Luas Cork and Docklands Briefing
Join us in person for the Luas Cork and Docklands Briefing
Jointly hosted by the VQ and CBA, this event is an opportunity to hear the latest updates and ask your questions about the Docklands developments and the Cork Luas project, for which the Preferred Route has just been announced and is currently out for consultation.
Cork’s population is projected to grow by 50 per cent over the next 20 years. The Docklands development and the rollout of Luas Cork are both essential to enabling sustainable growth in the City. The significant investment in our transport network with Luas Cork will reduce traffic and carbon emissions, unlocking housing and jobs growth in areas such as the Docklands and will ultimately create a more liveable, walkable, pleasant city.
Speakers include:
Paolo Carbone, Head of Public Transport Capital Projects
Fergus Meehan, Head of Light Rail GDA and Regional Cities
Sarah O’Donnell, Assistant Chief Architect and Project Manager of Luas Cork
Bryan Fitzgerald, Cork Docklands Programme Manager
Clara O’Neill, Total Planning Solutions, Vice President CBA
