Serious lack of ambition here on the transport plan for Dublin. 4% increase in public transport use in 20 years, are we having a laugh?

The more of us that get clued in on transport issues the more likely plans like this will be ridiculed out of existence.

How will people travel into town if the NTA's Greater Dublin Area Strategy 2022-2042 is implemented?

Remember the North Frederick Street squat was evicted by violent private security in 2018, and for what? 34 North Frederick Street is still empty three years later, a 4 story building in the centre of dublin when 10,000+ people are homeless & 65,000 households on the housing list

Some photos of 23 Prussia St now.

The space has been taken back but it’s been badly damaged. People that live there say bedrooms have been covered in oil, every toilet has been smashed and windows and appliances have been broken. Spaces used for community events…

[CATU Stoneybatter @CATUstoneyb]

Statement from CATU Stoneybatter and Grangegorman:

Today we witnessed private security, paid by a landlord, break into a social centre at 23 Prussia Street, Stoneybatter. Members of an Garda Siochana watched on as the thugs violently evicted the occupants, destroyed…

Zero excuses for the sneering attitude displayed below by the man holding the most powerful position in Dublin.

@DubCityCouncil needs a shake-up, starting from the very top.

The vandalism of demolishing Dublin's architectural heritage (this structured was designed by Herbert Simms) is far more anti-social than whatever was happening on Bull Island.

@DubCityCouncil need to cop on and take some responsibility for their city.

[TheJournal.ie @thejournal_ie]

Dublin City Council said it decided to demolish a historical landmark on Bull Island because of anti-social behaviour.

About 25 feet of South William has been pedestrianised, the rest has been left to cars as an off ramp for the car park.

Sign the petition in the tweet below to push for full pedestrianisation.

[Andrea Horan @AndreaHoran]

This is the extent of pedestrianisation on South William St 🙄🙄🙄

Gimme a break like.

Sign the petition for meaningful access to the street for the people of the city.

Dubliners: "The canal is class, more public spaces, please."
DCC: "No, we can't sacrifice roads for people. We can't even provide benches."
Dubliners: "Fine, we have no choice but to all go Portobello."
DCC: "There's too many people at Portobello, we have to close it."
🙃

[Dublin City Council @DubCityCouncil]

Unfortunately Portobello Plaza is closed this weekend & we appeal to the public not to come here. We are aware of the importance of public spaces but some behaviour at this location in recent weeks has been completely unacceptable. https://t.co/OgTe0dCnX0

Dublin City Council have resurfaced plans to make College Green into a plaza and the #BusConnects plan should reshape our public transport.

But is this enough to make Dublin truly liveable?

@hannahwxir explains that housing needs to be the priority.

I don't think we're getting the best out of Merrion Row with how the space is used at the moment.

Mocked up this visualisation of another possible way it might look.

(I think the need for a pint was weighing on my mind as I put it together, there are clues...)
