@REBELC0RK They should have just used the same blocks as the south main st footpaths really if they were going to the trouble of replacing them. Would look more uniform and ties into grande parade.

Lovely tile paving replaced with concrete 😡

@REBELC0RK @corkcitycouncil @Greenescork @jmaher0 @sendboyle @PadraigRice @horganp @oliver_moran @PaulByrne_1 @EoinBearla @CorksRedFM @echolivecork They give them a stern warning over a free meal at Greenes.

Why is @corkcitycouncil allowing planters on McCurtain street to be moved by @Greenescork to create their own set down area on a public footpath. Gone beyond a joke now 😡 @jmaher0 @sendboyle @PadraigRice @horganp @oliver_moran @PaulByrne_1 @EoinBearla @CorksRedFM @echolivecork

@REBELC0RK @davidrisher And they run these promotions constantly, paid for by those fees and used to undercut drivers who don’t use those apps to pressure them into joining.

@BikeCommutingIE @davidrisher Spot on pal. We had it with bases for years now it’s the apps that are taking all our money. Apps are great for the customes but it’s the driver that take the hit. Freenow charge us 15% every fare we get plus they charge the customer another €1. So on ten euro fare they get 25%

We’ve always said we’re going places… literally. Today, we’re welcoming FREENOW to the Lyft family. See you in Europe. 😎🚕 lyft.com/blog/posts/lyf…

@REBELC0RK @davidrisher TFI should develop an app for taxi drivers to avoid all this nonsense, they’d also be able to negotiate lower card processing fees for drivers.

@davidrisher As a taxi driver we don’t need another vulture app digging deeper into our pockets. It’s a no from me and it’s a no for the majority of taxi drivers.

@TheVenueBars After you spending years on Twitter moaning and objecting to bus/cycling infrastructure this is comedy gold. Couldn't make it up.

Imagine our shock and dismay finding out today without any prior consultation with us before the publication of this plan, to CPO & demolish The Venue for the Cork Luas Route.

@oliver_moran Took a peak at your mx records, nice choice.

With all going on, I've onshored all my IT to the EU/EEA. Spent the last month leaving Amazon Web Services, Microsoft email and others for European alternatives. Delighted to meet Jerry Sweeney of CloudCIX in Hollyhill yesterday and see my websites running happily and locally.

April 11th is Judgement Day for Strand Road!! Please join @ibike.ie, ourselves, and other campaign groups for active transport, for a cycle protest along the route: demanding safe cycling infrastructure for all users

@DylanCTweets @REBELC0RK @jmaher0 @corkcitycouncil @GardaTraffic @gardainfo @echolivecork @EoinBearla @OpinionLine96 @NeilRedFM They have a prime loading bay right at their back entrance. But even google maps captures the illegal parking

@DylanCTweets @REBELC0RK @jmaher0 @corkcitycouncil @GardaTraffic @gardainfo @echolivecork @EoinBearla @OpinionLine96 @NeilRedFM Now cars parking in these bays illegally are an issue, but if this was resolved there would be adequate spaces.

The signs have been installed. Cars still parking here. cc @corkcitycouncil @GardaTraffic

@jmaher0 @corkcitycouncil @GardaTraffic @gardainfo @echolivecork @EoinBearla @OpinionLine96 @NeilRedFM John, has anyone actually sat down with the head of the dept responsible for traffic wardens in this area and asked them what they need to prevent this? It seems despite the publicity and public outcry nothing ever really changes. Something new has to be done.

@rvandulken The speed limit is 50km/h where the car is coming from

Don’t cycle like a maniac in an urban environment…….

@CorkGreens Another win for commuters. Since it’s being built from scratch, I hope the infrastructure for future bus lane cameras is being considered.

New Bus Lane Approved The vote overwhelmingly in favour came after Green Party Cllr Oliver Moran warned that several more decisions like this are required across the city over the coming months to deliver a reliable bus service for the city. irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…
