The preferred route for the Cork Luas will be published later this month and is expected to contain a number of significant changes to the earlier emerging preferred route (EPR), which was published last year. Concerns were raised last year about the EPR, including that the west side of Ballincollig would not benefit from the Cork Luas. The preferred route will be launched on Friday, April 17, marking the commencement of a non-statutory public consultation. “We expect to have completed our refined design soon, at which stage it will be published as a preferred route for another non-statutory public consultation,” they said. The updated consultation website, luascork.ie, will go live at 11am on the same morning the preferred route is unveiled, with submissions from stakeholders and the public welcomed until Friday, June 12.
