  1. Would be nice in this day and age if we just had easy access to this information online rather than having to have a sympathetic councillor request it.

    Any chance of an update for other areas?

  2. I can’t wait to see the recommendation for Walkinstown Roundabout. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it doesn’t involve cyclists avoiding the roundabout itself, going down every exit and waiting patiently until all the cars are done moving before they cross each one.
