As a swimmer and a long-time advocate for safer bathing water, I want to see real-time water testing. 🙌Well at last, we’re going to see some progress on this. @dlrcc have been successful in securing €1.2 million to research and develop a better approach to monitoring bathing…

Pearse street as is vs. what it could look like with a bit of imagination and political will. Do we want Dublin to be dominated by polluting urban motorways or sustainable, health promoting transport modes? #SustainableTransport

Yesterday 44 of the world’s leading climate scientists wrote an open letter about collapse of the Atlantic Ocean’s circulation (AMOC) When I interviewed one of them about the consequences of AMOC reaching a tipping point he could barely keep it together. 🧵

This must be treated as an urgent call to action by @RSAIreland @GardaTraffic @lawlessj @EamonRyan @SimonHarrisTD We need to create a road safety entity with the expertise to determine how we fix this, and the autonomy and courage to call out anyone who stands in its way.

How the Dutch found that the only thing that really encourages cycling is a dense network of high quality bike-infrastructure. Good quality cycle routes attract bike-riders, but they have to be close together. Via @Cycling_Embassy #dutch #Delft aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2008/09/grid.h…

This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20+years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF

Instead of just urging people to slow down, @RSAIreland - an approach with little proven effect -why not follow the science? Advocate for protected bike lanes! They slow down traffic, boost cycling, improve health, and cut emissions. A win-win for all!

“The Economist has found that, for every life the heaviest 1% of suvs or trucks saves in America, more than a dozen lives are lost in smaller vehicles. This makes traffic jams an ethics class on wheels.” “Car Bloat” kills people. Among other consequences. economist.com/leaders/2024/0…

Newly released study shows that separated bike lanes reduce maximum car speeds by 28%, average speeds for turning cars by 21%, and 8% for cars going straight. If cities want to reduce speeding, they should install separated/protected bike lanes—it’ll also get more people biking!

Refshaleøen in Copenhagen is what Poolbeg in Dublin could transform into with a touch of imagination. Once an industrial area, it has now evolved into a vibrant hub for creativity, great food, and innovative urban development. It's easily accessible by bike or public transport.

Contrary to what the media and vested interests claimed, the global and local evidence - right here in Dublin - proves it: restricting car access works! Now, let's push forward with the next change, and the one after that. Let's keep the momentum going! rte.ie/news/dublin/20…

E-bikes don't replace bicycle trips, they replace car trips. That's what makes them so important. Multimodal choice is spreading slowly and suddenly.

Journey times on the quays are down 20%, footfall is up and the sky hasn't fallen in.

Public transport journey times on the north and south quays in Dublin city have reduced by 20% since the introduction of a transport plan one month ago, the National Transport Authority has said rte.ie/news/dublin/20…

We introduced changes on the quays to speed up public transport. It is wildly successful. Let's keep at it.
