Extending public transport services in a sure way to offer choice and options to commuters in #Waterford and the #SouthEast. Please support this: @seotter.bsky.social my.uplift.ie/petitions/ea...

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

We participated in the Inner Ring Road #ActiveTravel #Waterford scheme (walking + wheeling), welcoming it with requests for revision, to make it as comfortable, appealing, and safe as possible for all ages and abilities: consult.waterfordcouncil.ie/en/node/2953...

Sign of the day…

So, one of our plucky followers raised this petition, Please support: www.change.org/p/support-th... #Waterford #Ballygunner #Cycleloop #Safety #activetravel

We submitted a positive response to this scheme - it will make cycling safer and more accessible to people living along the route, and nearby. Today is the last day. Have your say!! #waterford #lovewaterford #cycling #wheeling #activetravel consult.waterfordcouncil.ie/en/consultat...

1/5 Yesterday, mary from this group spoke on WLRFM Déise Today about the petition to reverse safety improvements for #ActiveTravel at the Farrananshoneen roundabout. Listen back here & tell us what you think: www.wlrfm.com/listenback#:...

Keep fighting the good fight!

Sarah is one of the @irishtimes.com best columnists. Common sense and great life insights abound in her writing. Encourage the drivers in your life to read this, so they understand that the majority of cyclists are ordinary ppl who just want to get home alive.

So much of this article is common to cycling in #Waterford. We're looking forward to the network rolling out, here:p

We look forward to this when the #Waterford cycle network rolls out:

Traffic jams on Grange Raod towards the #Farrananshoneen roundabout #waterford maps.app.goo.gl/KAEjBzSwyoy4... ar clearly caused by #induceDemand and the junction being fed by high levels of traffic from the western Cumann na mBan road (outer ring road). www.waterford-news.ie/.../farronsh....

They suck equally hard.

That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which she complains they paved paradise to put up a parking lot!

Road speed limit reductions are coming soon to increase road safety. Most fatalities occur on 80km/hr roads. Regional (L-) roads will firstly change from 80km/hr to 60 km/hr from the 8th of February. Later this year, urban roads will reduce to 30 km/hr. www.thejournal.ie/speed-limit-...

Advertising is a problem:

Busconnects.ie confirmed routes for #Waterford, including a convoluted orbital route. So, they did listen to people and make changes. What do you think of it?

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

#Waterford #Ireland Would we like 29% fewer road crashes? , and 2/3 less serious injuries? Read from an eminent motoring journalist, @gerherbert.bsky.social, on how our planned speed limit reductions, and other measures, can help with that:

Possibility meets reality in Paris. Wouldn't it be great to see action on this in #Waterford?

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can. #InducedDemand

In this cold weather, #Pedestrians, #Scooters , #Wheelchair users, and #Cyclists , if you are having difficulties getting around safely due to ice, grit on footpaths or cyclelanes, please report it here: Online form: waterfordcouncil.ie/contact-us/

For #WATERFORD city season of manic #traffic, a friendly reminder:

Since 2000, the rail network across the country has been expanded - with the #southeast and #Waterford being the big exception. We'll continue to campaign vigorously for infrastructure investment in our region across the lifetime of the next government.

I’m so glad Andrew Tate was denied a voice here. Why should we be confronted with his aggressive misogyny and homophobia? Why should he get to spew his hatred anywhere? Of course we can reject him and all he stands for. It needs to be our response more often. Thank you 🦋

If you look closely, it’s almost like there’s a clear #climate trend emerging from this WMO data set stretching back to the 19th century.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. We all need to reflect on the lives lost to transphobic violence. If able consider supporting organizations locally that are making things better for people.

Our thoughts are with the injured cyclist: www.wlrfm.com/news/waterfo...

We all makes sacrifices:

So, we have this iBikeBop thing on the last Friday of the month. Come #joinus in #waterford Applemarket 7pm 29th of November. ...never know who you'd meet: [Name the Olympic legend]

Public transport is looking very popular at #Heuston #Dublin A twin track to #Waterford Would be very welcome. #GE24
