@inkling_micko @women_ireland @hazechu @community_stc@MulligansD4@mannixflynn The trucks and pollution from 3 million other vehicles (per annum) are proposed to be diverted from Strand Road on to the streets our kids currently cycling on. It's the very point of our objection. Would you trial something like that on your own family?
@LifeOfBOS#CyclingBehindTheWall will be safer for cyclists of all ages and abilities. Tolerance of illegal parking and other traffic violations on #StrandRoad (impacting all road users) are blamed by DCC on the Gardai. Nothing to do with the choice of future cycle track versions per se.
@LifeOfBOS @roisiningle DCC insist such parking is a Garda enforcement matter, similar to their position on the checking of HGV and LGV permits. This would remain the case even if we get our safer behind the wall cycle track.
@Hugh_might@dublincycling And we now know that the Irish High Court agrees that an EIA should be carried out before you make something permanent .... such as the diversion of 3 million vehicles p.a. onto narrower roads https://t.co/PTvNGBQFDH
@Hugh_might@dublincycling DCC Beach Rd extension link. What was only made available via FOI is that 82% of residents who responded clearly rejected an "on road" cycle track version. https://t.co/X8Qq7psddv
@DavidCostelloDC@DubCityCouncil@dublincycling @roisiningle @mannixflynn @DublinCityCouncil please sort the issue of it being unsafe for Dubliners to swim in our bay instead of squandering taxpayers (not their personal) money in the courts. https://t.co/fLV620MtsZ

Scarleh for ye Green Party!
@Tallyrifficmaps Mannix opposes the closure of the northbound lane on Strand Road and diversion of 3m vehicles p.a. into the narrower side streets of the red area. He supports the off road cycle track proposal of the locals. (Similar to Clontarf version).
@yascaoimhin @corconian @ffclaireoconnor@fiannafailparty@DeirdreConroyIE By "over" do you mean "permanent"? The diversion of 3m vehicles p.a. from an arterial route through narrower residential side streets with increase pollution from traffic idling but without an EIA?
@a1552780 @eoghanolf@ffclaireoconnor@fiannafailparty@DeirdreConroyIE 90% of Strand Road vehicle journeys are transit journeys i.e. they do not originate or terminate in the local community. Would you support the diversion of 3m vehicles through the streets your children use to cycle and walk to school?
@ffclaireoconnor@fiannafailparty@DeirdreConroyIE It's disappointing for democracy that people who criticise the opinion of a person standing for election via "public questions on twitter" then block the answers to "their question" on twitter. An alternative view to your own is not in itself "offensive content".
@eoghanolf @a1552780 @ffclaireoconnor@fiannafailparty@DeirdreConroyIE An "off road" cycle path delivers a solution that respects all vulnerable users. Cyclists are not the only vulnerable users. It is unfair to divert the 3m vehicles to the side streets which will remain the route the majority of our kids have to travel to school by.
@eoghanolf @a1552780 @ffclaireoconnor@fiannafailparty@DeirdreConroyIE It's the very issue the community has ..... the diversion of 3 million vehicles p.a. from the arterial Strand Road through the narrower side streets that our vulnerable road users use to go to school, local shops and community interaction.
