They’ll show why the 11 councils in NI need devolved transport powers when it comes to active travel.

Another small piece of the puzzle

Great to see a cycle lane appearing on Mountown rd.

[Living Streets Dun Laoghaire @SupportLivingSt]

Cyclists & pedestrians who use Dun Laoghaire's Tivoli Road get saturated daily as well as dealing with safety scares. We're hanging in there as we wait for #LivingStreets to be implemented, trying to be patient!
Would really appreciate if blocked drains could be cleared @dlrcc 🙏

Dubliners biking in their thousands, in all kinds of weather. The barrier to cycling has never been rain. It’s risk. Create safe streets and people will cycle. It worked then, it will work now.

[Ciaran Cannon @ciarancannon]

Most broadcasters won’t say this: our roads are not fair, and they’re not neutral. Some people are far more vulnerable than others. Credit to Kieran Cuddihy for saying it on @rteliveline this week. Our laws, road design, and enforcement must reflect that simple truth.

More good stuff in the pipeline for Dun Laoghaire!
Please complete this consultation for proposed @dlrcc Development at The Metals Green in Harbour between Irish Lights building & The Royal Irish Yacht Club. A new stop-off along coastal mobility route! 🙏https://t.co/zsmJtYMCG9

Happy New Year. Well done @dlrcc , world class fireworks.

[Ciaran Cannon @ciarancannon]

Red light cameras - shelved.

Reform of RSA - shelved.

National default 30kmh speed limit in urban areas - shelved.

And this is how we plan to reduce deaths and serious injuries on Irish roads?

@DubCityCouncil @LordMayorDublin Fantastic!

Last chance! Generations to come NEED you! And if you could ask a few friends or neighbours to support this, that would be even better. Sad to say it, but there are people with time on their hands working hard to make sure that nothing changes.

Last day to have your say https://t.co/xek4xEVaJc

Please take 2 min today (closes tomorrow) to support the fantastic Cabinteely Greenway by completing the public consultation below. A small group of vocal opposers (why?!) seem to have a lot of time on their hands, so it's critical we all support it. 🙏

We need safe infrastructure. Another pedestrian killed on our roads. https://t.co/kgQvlYlbAA

[Jon Burke 🌍 @jonburkeUK]

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs.

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.
