A NEW PLAN RECENTLY ANNOUNCED
Kilkenny City and County Development Plan 2021
Adopted 3rd September 2021, came into effect on the 15th October 2021
The Lady Desart Bridge now connects Bateman Quay to John’s Quay. The pedestrian bridge under
Ossory Bridge now connects the Boardwalk on the north side of the river to the Linear Park on the south. Three new linkages are proposed over the River Nore, connecting the existing pedestrian and cycle links, see Figure MS4.
The provision of a pedestrian bridge in the vicinity of Talbotsinch would connect the River Nore Linear Park to the Bleach Road and the north-eastern area of the City and the proposed biodiversity park at Dunmore. The provision of a boardwalk along Greensbridge, will connect the southern Nore Linear Park, to the northern element, through the Abbey Quarter Riverside
Linear Park.
Finally, the provision of an additional crossing located between John’s Bridge and Ossory
Bridge would connect St. Canice’s campus to the River Nore Linear Park.
Various initiatives can contribute to an increase in walking and cycling. An example of this is the Walking bus, which consists of adults walking groups of pupils to and from school along set routes, with children joining the walking bus at various pick-up points along the route. This programmeencourages children to walk, and so get used to this means of travel.
