As part of the CHA, we recently launched our report “Active Travel: The Magic Pill.”
It shows that embedding active travel into daily life brings major health and environmental benefits for everyone.
And yet, @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social continues to build active-travel 'infrastructure' like this.

Freshly laid tarmac, freshly painted death lane.
How is this an acceptable standard in 2025 @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social? Paint ≠ infrastructure.
We deserve wide, fully protected cycle lanes that support a healthier, safer, more sustainable city.
This simply isn’t good enough.

Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Everyone has been affected, or knows someone who has been effected, by accidents on our roads. Sadly, the number of deaths on Irish roads has been rising for the past number of years.

Great initiative. Not just cities either Roads in the countryside are narrow. Every morning on my way to my daughter’s nursery, Im forced to stop or veer into ditches by SUVs that are pristine & seemingly incapable of going slightly off road.

This delay and the dilution of language to “where appropriate” are not harmless compromises. They will cost lives.
Local authorities to implement 30km/h speed limits in urban areas ‘where appropriate’ from 2027
Speed limits on roads in built-up and urban areas can only be changed where a majority of the elected members in a local authority vote to do so.

It's a bit jarring to see how little has changed in terms of public realm and traffic for Richmond Road in the last 20 years (and longer).
In fact, the 2007 Richmond Road Area Action Plan has the following line "Richmond Road remains a 'rural' type road with little change since its inception".
