Cycling numbers in Dublin up 50%

78% of people support #Love30 being rolled out and the Minister continues to do nothing

Yet Darragh Oโ€™Brien is still looking for the magic pill to solve congestionโ€ฆ

We donโ€™t mind who copies our homework, as long as we get reliable, frequent & safe public transport along with safe cycling & pedestrian infrastructure

If Minister Darragh Oโ€™Brien is looking for ideas to solve Dublinโ€™s Congestion problemsโ€ฆ we produced a document 18 months ago thatโ€™s a road map for doing exactly that!!

Transdevโ€™s contract as operator of the Luas will not be renewed

The Hard Shoulder The Hard Shoulder Podcast with Ciara Kelly and Shane Colman is your essential drivetime companionโ€”bringing fresh perspective and energy to your drive home. CONVERSATION THAT COUNTS | Irelandโ€™sโ€ฆ

We spoke to Newstalkโ€™s The Hard Shoulder about the latest saga with mandatory Hi-Vis jackets

Lights are already required for night-time cycling, mandating hi-vis for everyone wonโ€™t fix non-compliance by the few

Enforcement is the answer

Dublin city facing decade of disruption from construction of big โ€“ and long-awaited โ€“ transport projects Work on two bus corridors โ€“ Liffey Valley to the city centre, and Ballymun and Finglas to the city centre โ€“ is due to kick off this year. And thatโ€™s just the start.

A decades worth of disruption is on the way which will exasperate the ongoing congestion issues. The passenger cap removal wonโ€™t help either

This is what happens when you continuously delay vital public transport projects

The full scheme runs down as far as Georgeโ€™s St

Delivery & Service vehicles will still have access before 11; similar to how the other Pedestrian streets work

Dublin City Council Cycle Lockers Pilot Project This Dublin City Council pilot project will see short-term cycle lockers being installed in various locations around the city centre, for public use.

Weโ€™ve been campaigning for more secure bike storage in Dublin and the suburbs for years, so itโ€™s great to finally see a trial

First ones will be on Capel St. & Grafton St. and will be ready for secure bike parking in the Spring

If theyโ€™re talking about illegal eScooters & Bikes, there are laws that simply need to be enforced

If theyโ€™re talking about requiring helmets & hi-vis jackets for bikes & legal eScootersโ€ฆ. It will be vehemently opposed by us, campaigners & bike share companies

Weโ€™ve been heavily campaigning for this over the past year through the Transport Security Forum

Thereโ€™s resistance from the Dept of Transport for a centralised reporting platform, but theyโ€™re coming around to it

Thereโ€™s work being done by the NTA and transport operators to modernize the Mon-Fri Schedules so they meet modern work habits

Itโ€™s challenging to do alongside BusConnects & the driver shortage

Weโ€™ll update people when thereโ€™s news

Which route?

The issues are more often linked to the lack of Drivers & Mechanics rather than the route itself but let us know if thereโ€™s a timing mismatch
