Nearly 80 companies back call for a segregated cycle routes in Dublin

78 companies — from large to small, and international to local — have backed the CyclingWorks call to build a network of segregated cycle routes in Dublin.

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

The companies include CPL, CBRE, Codema, Siemens Healthineers, The Dean Hotel, the Academy Plaza Hotel, ShinAwil, William Fry, the Radisson Royal Hotel Dublin, Goodbody, Alstom, BearingPoint, Indeed, and The Ireland edition of The Times and Sunday Times.

A template letter for the companies, designed to send to the Minister for Transport, states: “The kerb protected cycle lanes through Dublin City will help us attract and retain the employees our business needs to continue to thrive. They will also make Dublin a more attractive city in which to build and run our business. The planned cycling network is, on balance,  great for our business and for Dublin.  Please make sure these plans are delivered, without delay.”

...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.
