Ah here. Active Travel getting €360m every year while road spend goes up from €1,600m to €2,700m. We've seen time and again how building active travel infrastructure increases modal shift, boosting health, reducing congestion and saving money. Serious leadership would have understood that.

it can be hard work being an active citizen and lots of people don't have the time or capacity to do it. which means opportunities to participate in civic life are not equally distributed.

Funding allocations for The National Development Plan... We can’t cut transport emissions 50% by 2030 with these allocations. This plan doubles down on car-centric thinking—more pollution, less movement, and zero vision for healthy, sustainable transport.

DART+ South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.

In Dublin, between the canals, there is very little public green space for football (or other field sports). I can't think of any on the Northside, south of the North Circular Road. There are private pitches in Blackhall Place and Grangegorman but nowhere for children to play or practice publicly.

This morning’s walk. Before the rains. Or after *some* rains but before the big Orange 21-hour rain/weather warning that starts in a few hours anyway. Dublin has a massive drainage problem doesn’t it? Water pooling everywhere.

Last month, a sweeping review of 1,550 studies found that taking action for biodiversity in cities had significant, wide-ranging benefits: better physical & mental health, healthier childhood development, stronger social connections & less exposure to extreme heat, air pollution and noise pollution

Why don't bloody cyclists use the cycle-lanes? This is the new cycle-lane on E Wall Rd. It's like this all the time. This is a common issue with cycle-lanes all across the city. The drainage here was never adequate. Who audits these projects to check if they're constructed correctly?
