[Thread] A #StreetsAreForPeople action has began on Liffey Street Lower just north of Halpenny Bridge in Dublin. Volunteers from @dublincycling @IrishPedestrian @DublinCommuters and XR Dublin have erected a blockade to open the street for people to enjoy free from traffic. 
.@DubCityCouncil councillors will vote on 2nd September to approve or reject proposals to pedestrianise this part of Liffey Street Lower. Some powerful business organisations oppose all changes. The street upgrade will pedestrianise the section between Grand Social and the quays.
Except for deliveries during morning delivery times, all traffic will turn right from Lower Liffey Street onto Great Strand Streets towards Jervis Street and Capel Street. 32,000 pedestrians and only 1,000 motor vehicles use this street everyday. The footpaths are too narrow.
