Thanks to @sjamcbride.bsky.social for raising this issue.

Active Travel in NI is woefully underfunded.

This deliberate obfuscation of funds is not encouraging from O'Dowd and the Dept of Infrastructure.
John O'Dowd's Stormont department is pretending that it's spending £2.6m on a cycle lane, but most of that money is funding a road for cars and lorries - and the department is refusing to say if this has been happening more widely.

Huge sums which Stormont claims to be spending on cycling infrastructure are instead being used to resurface a road for lorries and cars, John O’Dowd’s department has admitted.

You're welcome! We've been working REALLY hard on getting those protected cycle lanes and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in 😍
Lived & cycled in central London early 90s. Negotiated Camberwell to Paddington and Trafalgar Square at rush hour: not for faint of heart. Returned to the city in 2022, Hammersmith to South Bank by bike, wow a whole new world! Segregated lanes FULL of cyclists just like your vid. What a turnaround.
