Please Be Sound and do not block cycle lanes. Blocking cycle lanes forces older and more vulnerable cyclists out into moving traffic. Thank you #ActiveTravelNetwork #C2CC @livedrive @DCCTraffic @GardaTraffic @Dept_Transport @RSAIreland

Don't put safety projects up for a vote. Too many people think their own convenience is more important than reducing the number of life-altering crashes.
