“Local stores next to the protected bike-lane have seen a 49% increase in sales, compared to an average of 3% for Manhattan as a whole.”

(Among MANY other public benefits.)

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane

Owners of even the cheapest fleabag motels know they must keep track of how many rooms they have and whether they are empty or full.

But today, the year’s busiest shopping day, most retail areas won’t be tracking how many parking spots they have and whether they are empty or full. 🧵/1

The crumbling of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter must be arrested. Letting such an important part of our past and present heritage become an eyesore is a tragic symbol of this region’s lack of ambition.

The SDLP’s is putting this problem, and solutions, on Stormont’s agenda.
