Monday morning on Kill Avenue, Dún Laoghaire, along the DLR Central cycle route. Kids heading to school and commuters heading to work.
Modal shift in action, made possible by safer cycling infrastructure.

Work starting on the Boylan Centre
Join us on the 5th of Nov to discuss the developments in the town
Lower Mounttown Road reopened this morning, and what an improvement. What really stands out is how much calmer drivers seem to be too. Before the works, this road was a grubby mess. This is a fantastic upgrade. @dlrcycling @dlrcc @dunlaoghairecra

I hope they do Abbey Road next. There's a lot more room to work with than on Mounttown Road. Also, a lot of on-street parking, despite large driveways.
The finishing touches are finally being made to DLR Central on Mounttown Road Lower! It looks fantastic, and the road appears set to reopen in both directions for all users tomorrow. #safestreets #activetravel @dunlaoghairecra

Every issue we have an article written by @DunLaoghaireTT to update all the residents of the town on what Tidy Towns have been doing and how to get involved

This is really good, but its an AI model: now @dlrcc can you get started on the real thing?
The actual place could be beautiful, but AI models are exactly that, artificial!

With all the recent discussion about Living Streets Dún Laoghaire, here's a reminder of what the project actually involves. The overview video gives a useful picture of the proposed changes and the vision for the town. Worth a watch!

The final section of DLR Central on Mountown Road Lower is nearing completion. It will make journeys safer for commuters, especially children travelling to and from school. It has already helped more children cycle to school, and this final link will build on that progress.
Good to see site works beginning on new homes at Sussex Street on the former site of the Boylan Centre. More people living in central Dún Laoghaire, close to shops, services and public transport, will add life to the town.

This could open up an overlooked part of Dún Laoghaire Harbour. The current route past the yacht club is a detour many people skip. New steps, an accessible ramp and a public plaza would make the space easier to reach and enjoy.

Fingers crossed it stays that way! The new planting on Cumberland St looks lovely too.

Planting is bedding down well on Library Rd, this is also part of the Living Streets project.
And not a plastic bollard in sight @DaraghCassidy !
Hallelujah👏

Interesting to see the plans for Park Avenue in New York. Like London, Paris and towns such as Dún Laoghaire, it’s part of a gentle shift towards making more space for people.

“Build it and they will come” in practice. Great to see such a steady stream of people using the new DLR Connector cycle lanes this morning. #activetravel

'Absolute generational collapse' in cycling because it's 'simply not safe'
Super interview here with @ciarancannon and Eoin from Salthill Cycle Bus.

It has been a long dry summer but @DunLaoghaireTT organized regular watering for the planters across the town and kept many flowers in bloom & looking great.

We attended a Living Streets update meeting yesterday and one of the things that was very apperent was just how much planting will be part of the project. In particular around the Carnegie Library and the junction with Sussex St & Georges St 🌳💚
The project should be starting early '27
🤞
