@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 🤔

They'll tell you there's no money. There's money. There's no accountability.

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.

The city’s transition away from the car, though fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model, says Simon Kuper: https://t.co/4AvKyhKnyP

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.
