Options for Key Issue 23: Retention of Key Park & Ride Sites<br />
Option 23A Preferred Option<br />
Retain a number of key Park & Ride Sites with identification of potential new<br />
Park & Ride/Park & Share sites: This option provides for all existing and proposed<br />
Park & Ride sites to be retained and safeguarded, i.e.<br />
• West Lisburn Park & Ride (Proposed)<br />
• Moira Park & Ride Extension adjacent to Railway Station (Proposed)<br />
• Relocation of Sprucefield Park & Ride (Proposed)<br />
• Cairnshill Park & Ride (Existing - Complete)<br />
• Dundonald Park & Ride (Existing - Complete)<br />
• Lisburn Railway Station Park & Ride (Existing - but limited parking<br />
availability).<br />
The potential also exists to identify new Park & Ride or Park & Share sites across<br />
the Council Area. This option is dependent on funding and feasibility analysis<br />
provided by Central Government and/or Translink.<br />
Reason<br />
This option retains and promotes a number of key Park & Ride sites across the<br />
Council area as an effective measure to aid congestion and reduce travel<br />
dependency by car:<br />
• The proposed Park & Ride in West Lisburn will complement the proposed<br />
new railway halt at Knockmore (350 spaces)<br />
• The proposed Moira Park & Ride extension is adjacent to the existing<br />
Railway Station (430 spaces)<br />
• Proposed relocation of Sprucefield Park & Ride to nearby Park & Ride site<br />
(658 spaces)<br />
• Cairnshill Park & Ride is operational (724 spaces)<br />
• Dundonald Park & Ride is operational and will complement the Belfast<br />
Rapid Transit bus system due to start in 2018 (517 spaces)<br />
• Lisburn Railway Station Park & Ride is operational (45 spaces.<br />
This option allows greater flexibility for identifying additional Park & Ride or Park<br />
& Share Schemes in ‘pressure’ areas and is subject to funding and feasibility<br />
analysis provided by Central Government and/or Translink. Should a need be<br />
identified for a new and viable facility, this could be identified and safeguarded<br />
through the <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />
Option 23B<br />
Retain a number of key Park & Ride Sites: The above mentioned Park & Ride sites<br />
(proposed and existing) will be afforded protection through the new LDP. This<br />
option would not identify any new Park & Ride or Park & Share sites across the<br />
Council area.<br />
Reason<br />
Whilst this option complies with regional strategic objectives for transportation<br />
and planning which aim to promote sustainable patterns of development, ensure<br />
accessibility for all, help tackle congestion and make best use of available services,<br />
it would not afford the opportunity to identify any new Park & Ride or Park &<br />
Share sites.<br />
