It's great to have Killarney National Park in the news. It matters more than most places because it is of such high biodiversity value and is entirely in the hands of the state. Here is a short 🧵 after spending some time there and meeting NPWS staff...

[SaferStreets4All @saferstreets4A]

It’s wild that Galway City Council plans to spend a fortune upgrading a roundabout and after the work there won’t be any safe crossing on 2 of the 5 arms. Can you let them know it needs to be better?

@FHmediastuff @GalwayCityCo The 'desire line' for the previous pedestrian crossing is evident every day. Also nine new large planters at the Raven's Terrace end are creating an obstacle course...the whole bridge area has become quite unfriendly for walkers and wheelers! @GalwayCityCo @galwayswestend

Among Council’s recommendations for Transport are that Local Authorities are supported to reduce demand and emissions, with locally implemented measures such as low emission zones, shuttle bus services or roadspace reallocation.

[Irish Doctors for the Environment @IrishDocsEnv]

Ireland, a country with a population of 5.1 million has THREE cities among the 100 most congested cities in the world.

Dublin (16), Galway (37), and Cork 80).

One more lane, one more road won’t fix this, only an unprecedented paradigm shift to public and active transport will.

Mowing less across the summer helps wildflowers grow naturally - no need to add seeds. They're already in the soil, waiting for a chance to appear 💚🐝

So many powerful protests are being held in many cities across Ireland in solidarity with Natasha O’Brien.
We demand an end to violence against women and justice for women survivors. Perpetrators must be held to account. #ZeroTolerance #Thisisnotjustice

Cllr Keane has voted down Active Travel plans, such as the #SalthillCycleway and the Crescent scheme which would have made cycling and walking to school safer for families.

This gifted, hard working young Irish athlete has achieved more in her 21 years than all the mouth-breathing bigots, racists & anonymous trolls and knuckle draggers managed in their entire sad lives. And they know it.

Hate speech ≠ free speech.

Cities can speed up climate action by slowing down traffic.

“Reducing the limit to 30 km/h on more roads is the most obvious way cities can get serious about decarbonizing their transportation infrastructure.” Via ⁦@IRPP⁩ https://t.co/hwYwL6vBcf

📷 #1: a 500m stretch of road in an average Italian town. There are 13 zebra crossings where pedestrians have priority.

📷 #2: Baggot St. upper / Pembroke Rd. 700m stretch. Only 3 pedestrian crossings.

Italy is not perfect, but by god, we really hate pedestrians in Ireland.
