The most ambitious car-free scheme on the continent, Montréal pedestrianized 11 commercial arteries—totaling 9.4 km—in seven boroughs this summer.
A pandemic-era initiative pushed by business leaders, they have quickly become cherished destinations for locals and tourists alike.

The bottom of Shop St, one of the most successful pedestrianised streets in the country, and the pedestrian crossings have been ripped out by @GalwayCityCo !
This is one of the most unsafe & ignorant displays of public vandalism I’ve seen from a local authority in a long while.

Is a weight based tax for cars on the horizon? It's one of the options included in this year's Budget 2025 Tax Strategy Group papers on Energy and Vehicle Taxation.

Congrats @brownthomas you made national news - for standing in the way of a better Dublin City - better public transport, less traffic, cleaner air & safer streets for all!
And to that lad from Kerry - you’ll still be able to drive to Dublin (assuming you beat Armagh 😜)

Protesters gathered on Grafton Street today to demand the continuation of the Dublin City Centre Transport Plan. They are calling for reduced congestion and better bus services. Businesses are concerned about a potential decrease in footfall due to lack of public infrastructure.

What we can learn from this report is simply this - the car park owners had to pay someone to make a really bad argument against the transport plan, because there isn't a good argument they could have used.
In Helsinki, buses are good, underground is decent, trams are great. No 90 minutes travel across all modes for €2 though.

Most of the article is the usual nonsensical, car first, diatribe of stuff, but this paragraph is a nice change of pace.

Always good to meet the Living City crew at Dublin City Hall.
A clear message for @DubCityCouncil's new CEO Richard Shakespeare: people are more important than cars.
