@Con Dunahee : 我在周一中午才通过朋友发来的WhatsApp截图得知我的酒吧可能被拆除,起初我以为是个愚人节玩笑。得知酒吧要被拆除后,我和我的伴侣都非常震惊。我们经营这家酒吧已经11年了,它对我们来说意义重大。我对规划部门没有提前沟通感到失望,他们本应该提前告知我们,避免给我们带来如此大的冲击。 @Henry McKean : 爱尔兰交通基础设施部门声称他们已经告知了所有受影响的利益相关者,但实际上并没有做到这一点。尽管规划者认为科克需要轻轨,但我从当地居民那里听到,科克的交通过度依赖汽车,轻轨建设会对科克的企业造成重大干扰,特别是对那些临近施工区域的企业。一位听众认为高威的交通比科克更糟糕,需要高架单轨铁路。 @Local 1 : 科克确实需要轻轨,但酒吧被拆除很可惜。 @Local 2 : 我更喜欢酒吧而不是轻轨。 @Local 3 : 科克需要轻轨,越快越好。 @Local 4 : 任何规模合理的城市都需要公共交通。 @Local 5 : 科克需要像都柏林一样的轻轨,以改善公共交通。 @Gareth Smyth : 轻轨建设初期会对企业造成干扰,但这最终会是一项成功的项目。科克的交通正在成为一个问题,轻轨可能是解决方案之一。我们更担心的是施工期间的交通干扰,而不是失去我们的房产。
