Paris proves bold leadership transforms cities. 🌍

From suffocating smog (2007) to clean, green & livable streets (2023):
🚴‍♀️ 100s of km of bike lanes
🌳 Tens of thousands of trees
🚗 Car-free zones & 30 km/h limits

Millions now breathe clean air.
When will we dare to follow? 💪

@GalwayCycling Rush hour bus journey times in Dublinhave been cut by a quarter on the Liffey’s north quays, and almost one third on the south quays, since restrictions on private traffic were introduced last August, according to the National Transport Authority (NTA).@brian_caulfield

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) serves a purpose in how a person gets around town. It's also the least effective compared to other forms of safety controls.

One day Americans will learn to apply this hierarchy to transportation.

Daily Reminder

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

Slow down. Use cruise control if you have to, but slow down.

Road design directly influences driver behavior.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better.

The traffic got BETTER.

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally AGAINST downtown bike-lanes, later became one of their most vigourous supporters, because of EVIDENCE that bike-lanes are better for downtown business than any street parking they replace.

This is why large junctions like Sea Road in Galway City need to be reduced. Same goes for entrances to many of our Housing estates, Pollnarooma West on the Coast Road & John Coogan Park on Siobhan McKenna Road are obvious examples of junctions that need fixing in Galway City

💥New data shows fatal collisions in London have fallen FOUR TIMES more than the rest of the UK.

SUVs are setting new sales records each year — & so are their emissions

If SUVs were a country, they would be the world’s 5th largest emitter of CO2

When you drive fast,
It takes longer than you think to see or predict trouble.
It takes longer than you think to hit the brakes.
It takes longer than you think for your car to stop.

Some of the wisest, and most instructive, lines ever written about cities, from G.K. Chesterton.

[Irish Doctors for the Environment @IrishDocsEnv]

Ultra Low Emission Zones (#ULEZ) are brilliant!

When are we getting some in Ireland?

Let's enable children in Ireland to get to school by #ActiveTransport or #PublicTransport, not cars.

Let's enable our children to be healthy.
