How about converting an old filling station into an outdoor restaurant? Genius!

Pedestrians only and all the better for it #streetsareforpeople

[Quentin O Connor @Quentin_OConnor]

@pattheenglishm1 @irishexaminer Understand businesses need all the help they can get at this time. I agree with you re pedestrianisation, my hope for the future is that Cork delivers ped & cycle measures & that businesses understand the merit in it & that these temporary measures aren't retained in the longterm

@pattheenglishm1 @irishexaminer Awarded street of the Year in the UK & Ireland in 2015 by the Academy of Urbanism. This is definetly a backwards step. Fingers crossed it's overturned soon!

Supporting local means booze from @RascalsBrewing and dinner from the local butcher. Just hope it stays dry!

Fair play to @mymilkman got a delivery of some essentials right to our doorstep, highly recommend!

Ambulance delayed to scene of an accident on M50 due to drivers on hard shoulder. Strong reason to support camera enforcement. Driver impatience & ignorance results in delays to emergency services attending a serious accident. Dread to think of the consequences of this behaviour!

DTTAS consultation to review Ireland’s sustainable mobility policy (active travel & public transport) is extended to 28th Feb. Good opportunity to voice concerns & tell the dept what is needed for example directional cycle signals, red light running & bus lane camera enforcement

What are each party’s transport election promises?

Interesting read for those who want to know what parties claim to be serious on the sustainable transport agenda. https://t.co/aZZcrNUAHL

[Cork Cycling Campaign @CorkCyclingCrew]

In other news, 97.6% of cars sold at start of 2020 were not electric.

Half those car trips in our urban areas are less than 5km.

Electric or ICE, it's a lot of energy to move a person.

Extend the EV grant to include e-bikes!!

@dynamitecork Keep em coming, these are great!

@ccferrie @IrishTimes @Independent_ie @MayorEOB @gabysayshey @TheIrishTim @davidhealyv @Fingalcoco Articles & dialogue @IrishTimes produces in relation to PT & the urban realm is poor. No journalism on these matters it just prints a narrative that the driver is always suffering & no-one else benefits. Please try some rebellious honest articles & report the societal benefits!
