Keep and aye on @dlrcc over the coming year.
They’ll show why the 11 councils in NI need devolved transport powers when it comes to active travel.
100 miles up the road - 20 years ahead.

Cyclists & pedestrians who use Dun Laoghaire's Tivoli Road get saturated daily as well as dealing with safety scares. We're hanging in there as we wait for #LivingStreets to be implemented, trying to be patient!
Would really appreciate if blocked drains could be cleared @dlrcc 🙏

Dubliners biking in their thousands, in all kinds of weather. The barrier to cycling has never been rain. It’s risk. Create safe streets and people will cycle. It worked then, it will work now.
1946, Pillars, Pedals & Police
O’Connell Street in quieter times, Nelson’s Pillar rises above Dublin, a British monument in an Irish city, snapped by Dutch photojournalist Willem van de Poll. Bicycles ruled the road, a Garda stands sentry and the pillar would last until 1966.

Most broadcasters won’t say this: our roads are not fair, and they’re not neutral. Some people are far more vulnerable than others. Credit to Kieran Cuddihy for saying it on @rteliveline this week. Our laws, road design, and enforcement must reflect that simple truth.

Red light cameras - shelved.
Reform of RSA - shelved.
National default 30kmh speed limit in urban areas - shelved.
And this is how we plan to reduce deaths and serious injuries on Irish roads?

Last chance! Generations to come NEED you! And if you could ask a few friends or neighbours to support this, that would be even better. Sad to say it, but there are people with time on their hands working hard to make sure that nothing changes.

Please take 2 min today (closes tomorrow) to support the fantastic Cabinteely Greenway by completing the public consultation below. A small group of vocal opposers (why?!) seem to have a lot of time on their hands, so it's critical we all support it. 🙏

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs.
Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.
