Campaign For A Family-Safe Trail

Cork's 96fm Opinion Line

Summary

A campaign is underway to develop a safe cycling trail connecting Riverstick, Belgoolie, and Kinsale, spearheaded by a group called Friends of the Trail. JJ Hurley, a member of the group, emphasizes the importance of community involvement in shaping the project. He notes that the lack of proper pathways and connections between local areas has hindered safe cycling and walking, despite the growing popularity of these activities.

The initiative aims to gather public input on what residents would like to see in terms of infrastructure and connectivity. Hurley highlights the potential for increased tourism and community engagement, particularly given the area's location along the Wild Atlantic Way. The group plans to utilize social media and local organizations to solicit ideas and feedback, ensuring that the development reflects the desires of the community rather than imposing a top-down council plan.
