...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
This project is also a statement about where the city stands on the subject of sustainable mobility. It is disappointing that so few councillors are willing to engage in the debate.
Excellent activist work Cian.
Very very disappointing that so few councillors have responded on this issue. >:( Many people have their heads in the sand when it comes to sustainability and transport in major urban areas. Cars cannot continue to hold the prime position they do hold at the moment on our roads. Councillors should be leading the way and showing true leadership.
@Citizen Wolf in some cases people just need a push to respond — five more responses today. And the above text is updated to reflect this.
