Cork County Council began the first phase of a multi-million-euro investment in Carrigaline town yesterday.
The so-called Carrigaline Transportation Public Realm Enhancement Plan or T-PREP aims to rejuvenating the town centre, by providing an integrated transport network including bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
The council hopes the development will give the Main Street back to the residents as a place to meet, to socialise and do business.
The Echo is reporting today that proposals for Main Street include the widening of continuous footways, new lighting, street furniture, rain gardens and pavement.
The delivery of Phase 1A of the Carrigaline TPREP will provide areas for outdoor dining outside cafes, bars and restaurants, creating new social spaces in the town centre.
