Patrick Street car ban begins todayCITY councillors are calling for an urgent review of Cork's parking policies in the wake of the loss of hundreds of spaces throughout the city. It comes as Cork City Council introduces major changes to the traffic flow in the city centre, restricting access to Patrick Street for private vehicles from 3pm today. "Now might be the time to extend the park and ride route into the city centre, especially when the Patrick Street experiment starts." "There is a lack of multi-storeys outside the city centre, including the Bishopstown and CUH area, which needs one. "Demand management must also support Cork City Council's commitment to promoting sustainable modes of transport including public transport, walking, cycling and car pooling."
