🚨🚨🚨🚨Michael McDowell in the IT espousing the CPO-ing of city center space for cycling!!! 👌👍👏👏👏👏👏 Most of the article is the usual nonsensical, car first, diatribe of stuff, but this paragraph is a nice change of pace.

In Helsinki, buses are good, underground is decent, trams are great. No 90 minutes travel across all modes for €2 though.

What we can learn from this report is simply this - the car park owners had to pay someone to make a really bad argument against the transport plan, because there isn't a good argument they could have used.

Goatstown Road could do with one of these bad boys.

🚨🚨🚨Attention! - Protest at Brown Thomas on Grafton St Saturday July 13th at 2pm! 🚨🚨🚨 Brown Thomas must stop opposing the Dublin City Transport Plan! Dubliners want… Cleaner Air, Safer Streets, Greener Spaces, Better Public Transport, Accessibility for ALL!

#NEW According to the City Retail Expert Economist Plan (CREEP), these cars will drive average retail spend of €141,000 if the new City Motorway* is constructed. There will be 1 million extra car trips per week. *Trinity's Front Arch and Christchurch will need to be demolished

Protesters gathered on Grafton Street today to demand the continuation of the Dublin City Centre Transport Plan. They are calling for reduced congestion and better bus services. Businesses are concerned about a potential decrease in footfall due to lack of public infrastructure.

Congrats Brown Thomas you made national news - for standing in the way of a better Dublin City - better public transport, less traffic, cleaner air & safer streets for all! And to that lad from Kerry - you’ll still be able to drive to Dublin (assuming you beat Armagh 😜)

The bottom of Shop St, one of the most successful pedestrianised streets in the country, and the pedestrian crossings have been ripped out by Galway City Council ! This is one of the most unsafe & ignorant displays of public vandalism I’ve seen from a local authority in a long while.

Dublin City Council would like to announce that the first of the measures contained in the Dublin City Transport Plan 2023 will come into effect from 25th August 2024. For more details on the new measures please click here: dublincity.ie/residential/tr…

A unique concept for Dubliners, shared poles! The Finns are always one step ahead.

Car magazine getting it right where drivers fail miserably

The most ambitious car-free scheme on the continent, Montréal pedestrianized 11 commercial arteries—totaling 9.4 km—in seven boroughs this summer. A pandemic-era initiative pushed by business leaders, they have quickly become cherished destinations for locals and tourists alike.
