My recent letter in Waterford News & Star about Solving Waterford City's Traffic Problems:

Waterford News & Star: Letter to the Editor: Solving Waterford's traffic problems A key aspect of improving our city centre is to look at how successful cities thrive across the world Letter to the Editor: Solving Waterford's traffic problems Whether you agree or disagree with the views expressed or would like to have your own personal opinion aired in public, we’re waiting to hear from you. In recent days and weeks, many in local media and on social media have been highlighting the horrible traffic congestion faced by those living in and around our city. Alongside these many complaints, some have highlighted supposed ‘solutions’ to the gridlock - conservative suggestions, which ultimately include even more lanes for traffic and additional parking spaces. There is a better alternative, which is actually based on best-practice in urban planning across Europe; reducing the number of cars on the road by providing additional transport options and by planning for medium-density, mixed-use buildings, which can build thriving, walkable communities. The traffic congestion in a city like Waterford is not normal. Nor is it normal in Galway, nor in Dublin. This is caused, simply, by too many people driving. And that is due, in part, to a lack of freedom to choose how we want to travel safely and efficiently. I am one such example; despite never once driving anywhere else I've lived, preferring to cycle or use public transport, my life in Waterford is dominated by driving, due to a lack of safe and segregated bike paths, severe urban sprawl, and abysmal public transport for a city the size of Waterford. Our lack of public transport infrastructure in our cities makes Ireland the clear outlier among European countries. Many similarly-populated cities across our continent have at least one tram line, and a large number of bus routes - with some providing 24-hour coverage. During my local and general election campaigns, I found 10 French and German cities the size of Waterford which have tramlines. In particular, I highlighted the example of Dessau-Rosslau in Germany, a city of similar size, which contains two tram lines, 14 bus routes, including six night routes, and a commuter rail system. Maybe, instead of calling to make our city actively worse to exist in by undoing pedestrianisation and adding extra lanes of traffic - we can pressure those in power to build a Waterford Luas along the Cork Road onto the South Quays and out the Dunmore Road, and to implement additional bus routes with a frequency of 5-10 minutes! That would allow us to actively increase pedestrianisation and actively reduce parking in our city centre - and study after study highlights how, contrary to the assumptions of conservative commentators, increased pedestrianisation and active travel infrastructure actually increases city centre activity and commercial revenues. Put plainly, make our city centre a nice place to exist in and more people will want to exist in it. At a time when online shopping is hollowing out commercial activity across the world and Kilkenny town is outcompeting us simply by being a lovely place to visit and to exist in, making Waterford City beautiful is more important than ever.

After holding a 'consultation', BusConnects Waterford Plan has been released with almost no changes based on feedback. This plan is unambitious and guarantees bad public transport and increasing levels of traffic for years to come.

More Spraoi paintings! PARTAYYYY!!!!! More paintings from the #series of #oilpaintings #inspiredbySpraoi, the now legendary summer street festival of #Waterfordcity, Ireland.
A painting intended to depict the movement of frenzied dancing of three young people, a young woman with dark hair wearing a green hoodie with dark horizontal stripes, to her left a young man with dark blonde hair is facing away from the woman and the viewer jumping with his left arm raised, and facing him is a darker figure with his face in shadow and both arms raised. In the background is the stage with part of a red banneron the right, and a darkening blue sky as night came. A young man with long blondish hair turned a bit green by the street light above his head is dancing, his arms raise and hands form into claws, not unlike the dance move from the Michael Jackson hit Thriller. In the background some people are standing, facing to the right of the page, under a darkening August sky. Two girls are dancing, the taller one in from, the shorter one behind her, close behind her with their bare arms touching under a darkening blue sky at dusk, they are part of a street festival concert taking place in a city with bright yellow street lights and against a backdrop of pink houses and a pink church spire to the right.

A #tug reverses away from #belviewport on the river Suir showing its maneuverability. It was framed by the funnels of another tug which I was lucky to get a short trip on. This port facility is downstream from #waterfordcity, Ireland.
