"an unprecedented 600 submissions with 94 per cent in favour of the Greenway as opposed to years earlier when the vast majority of the only 50 submissions made were negative.” Injunctions, false starts, and one man's unwavering commitment to the Waterford GW. www.munster-express.ie/a-greenway-v...

220 is doing an average of 10km/h currently. 32 mins from Grand Parade to Den X.

Cork is a leafy city (in parts), but so are most other European cities north of the Alps. Bike lane, Greenway, and footpath sweeping in Oct/Nov/Dec should be better than ↙️, ideally like the ↘️ photos from 🇫🇷 last week.

Lee Road is flooded. Passable but maybe not for long @corksafetyalerts.com

Lots of people in 🇨🇭 seem to have opted for +25km/h pedal assist e-bikes. License plate, M cat license, and 14+yrs old

Fitzgerald's Park looking great this morning also

Autumn always reminds me of the Robot Trees in Cork and the way all the golden, red, and yellow leaves would fall on them from the other, real trees.

Mardyke Walk bus/cycle corridor redesign looks complete. Enforcement will be a persistent issue here

South Main St cycle lane this morning

Martin: "We would have been totally unaware of the issue despite very comprehensive due diligence" Crime World podcast: "So Niall this story was one of your party pieces". 'yeah everyone who worked with me [in a leading national newspaper] knew my history with Jim Gavin'.

Autumn morning walk in Cork city

If we're going down a "no signage" policy, people are going to expect that the marathon signs from last year and the bus connects opposition signs in Ballincollig are going to come down also. www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari...

Today is #WorldBalletDay, so we’re taking a moment to celebrate this work by Marshall Hutson – a portrait of the celebrated Irish ballet dancer, teacher, and choreographer Joan Denise Moriarty (c.1912-1992). She founded the Cork Ballet Company, Irish Theatre Ballet, and... (1/3)

CI membership is now open for 2026. Even if you just commute by bike, it's well worth taking out Strong voice on safety issues (see below), third party insurance, and lots of other benefits Positive action also being taken on gravel cycling on Coilte land. www.cyclingireland.ie/get-involved...

Straight talking — and a shocking response from the Minister — at today's Love 30 demonstration at Leinster House. Same message from councillors, regardless of party — from Cork, Dublin, Galway and Sligo — make 30km/h the default, and we'll apply special limits to the exceptions in urban areas.

Hopefully only a training exercise

New (?) crane up off Gerald Griffin St. Site next to Neptune stadium at at guess @corkcranecount.bsky.social @eoinlettice.bsky.social

1) Regulate social media 2) Break up meta 3) Try to stop children using social media Sadly point is the only one being attempted and it’s being done poorly

Ciaran Ferrie's piece in @irishexaminer.bsky.social nails the Govts capitulation on the Speed Limit Review. Identifying the urban roads that should be 50km (arterial) and 30km (everywhere else) is a relatively simple technical exercise with a small bit of guidance. Absolute cowardice.

"By reforming how we report on road deaths, we can foster a culture of responsibility, encourage safer driving, and create the conditions for systemic change" A powerful piece by @ciarancannon.bsky.social and @cyclingireland.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

A huge thank you to the ~50 people who have signed this so far. I'll write up a background doc for elected officials in the coming days and they can take this further with City Hall hopefully. 📸 Daybreak this morning on the safer side of the N22.

The Straight Road cycle lane is awful and leaves people stranded while trying to cross a busy road. Meanwhile, the same road (N22) has light segregation, an inner kerb, and a toucan x'ing a few km away. Please sign this petition to call for safer cycling to Bcollig. chng.it/FqrR59rysZ

Well done to the @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social for their work on the new Irish Primary School Curriculum. Cycling has been moved from the "adventure" activity area to "Active Living" in the Wellbeing Spec Irish Cycling Campaign Submission on Wellbeing Curriculum – share.google/Z93TeanM7m0Q...

Martin on infrastructure: "Governments don't come forward with infrastructure and developments for the sake of it. We do it to benefit the population at large." Martin on Greenways: "we don't need super spec... or “intrusions on the landscape either.”

One in three fatal crashes is linked to speeding. Yet speed limit reforms have been shelved. 🚦 Road safety is not urban vs rural, or green vs anti-green. It’s a public good. My latest @independent.ie opinion column 👇 #RoadSafety www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

The cycle lane to Ballincollig is narrow, unprotected, and has a hedgerow frequently encroaching onto it. €1m a day allocated to active travel for 5 years. A huge opportunity missed to protect/promote cyclists/cycling between the 2nd city in Ireland and the largest town in the largest county.

Knapp's Square AFTER a +€1,00,000 investment of public funds to create "better facilitate cycling and walking along Knapp’s Square" www.corkcity.ie/en/council-s... People are supposed to be able to walk and cycle in both directions here on the road.

A lot of scare mongering about the proposed Greenway to Kinsale. Unfortunately the noisy minority get the headlines Thought this was a great contribution from Conn Murphy (farmer ) in Ballinhassig to the whole thing (southern star epaper)

Making cycle lanes and routes connected and legible should be a key medium term goal for City Hall Fixing the junction at Kennedy Quay is something that should be done within a week Numerous collisions and weekly close calls Not a good look for a City aiming to double cycling levels by 2028 1/2

A shared waking and cycling path was officially opened this week in Carrigaline www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari... The plans for this facility were featured in the Irish Examiner in 2022 under the headline: "Cork residents say council is 'ramming' greenway into their community".

"€€€ for Green Ways.. No funding for - Roads" The one existing GW in Cork (Midleton to Youghal, 23km) had a cap ex of €19m. The most recent new road projects in Cork (Macroom bypass, 22km) and Dunkettle Interchange cost €280m and €215m. The M28 (12km) currently under construction: €456m.

Great piece on Rothar Roads by @ellamcsweeney.bsky.social today. Thanks to our Rural Collective group, championing this concept for the past 4 years. Brilliant work done promoting everyday cycling in rural Ireland led by a bunch of amazing women. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...
