@ciarancannon According to available sources there was €13M spent on Wexford General Hospital’s newly opened car park for approx 400 cars
This is €32,500 per car space? 💭
Zero faux outrage 🤔
Hace 20 años ahi había solo autos.
Hace 15 años un carril con pocas bicicletas.
Hoy hay más bicicletas que autos en el centro de Londres.
Hagan ciclovías seguras conectadas entre sí, de lo demás se encarga el tiempo:
"Residents won't use bikes or scooters."
"Commuters won't use bikes or scooters."
"Tourists won't use bikes or scooters."
And then something magical happens when you create a network of bike lanes.
It's the neighbourhood, stupid! That’s where community happens. What if we applied Ireland’s policy stack to a single street?
You’d get less space for cars and more for people. Safer walking. Better public transport. Greenery woven in. More reasons to stop, chat, belong. Policy only matters if it shows up on your street.

“Gas prices? What gas prices?”
Even without illegal wars, the thing about car dependency is that once you’re dependent, they can do whatever they want with the prices.
Real freedom is choices. Better cities create choices. Graphic via Urban Truth Collective: https://t.co/AVsckw2bzC
Safe, protected bike-lanes are:
Better for business
Better for emissions
Better for air quality
Better for public health
Better for noise
Better for space
Better for equity
Better for affordability
Better for public cost
Better for safety for EVERYONE
Better for oil independence
Better.
“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
No matter what happens in the Paris election, the world’s cities owe Mayor Hidalgo a huge debt of gratitude.
The boldest, most inspiring mayor I’ve seen.

We agree with Cllr. Peter Horgan. The streets where we live are not just routes for traffic; they are places where children walk to school, older people cross to the shop, and communities meet.
