Raised at Full Council, 14 Sep: Douglas traffic is at a knife edge: emergency measures sought on school transport, bus priority, a park and ride towards Carrigaline and new signals with daylighting in the village, Cllr Peter Horgan. Council reply: Council accepts the pressure, worsened by the M28 works' temporary closure of Ballinrea Road. Signal timings are already optimised, with little scope left; more peak buses now, then BusConnects and active travel, are the answer.

Reported at Full Council, 14 Sep: €20.45m regeneration fund for Cork City: €7.5m each for the English Market and Douglas Street public realm, €5m for Blarney Civic Centre, €150k each for Douglas Village, North Main Street and the Cook Street area.

Lodged at Full Council, 14 Sep (for the Transport & Mobility SPC, 19 Oct 2026): Pilot 'daylighting' (clear sightlines at corners) for pedestrians, starting at the Ballintemple/Beaumont Drive and Douglas East/Douglas West junctions, Cllr Peter Horgan. Council reply not yet published.
