We're in a #ClimateEmergency that is being fuelled by our addiction to private cars.
Although we appreciate that @GalwayCityCo are trying to make changes, this plan simply isn't good enough.
We need a paradigm shift towards active and public transport INSTEAD of private cars.

@IrishCycle have brilliantly highlighted some of the many flaws with this plan.
Galway's geography and small size lends itself perfectly to walking and cycling, but this plan will largely preserve the congested car addicted Galway we know today.

The news coverage of this plan isn't great either, as @rtenews and @patmcgrath headline is "Plans aim to limit private cars in parts of Galway" as opposed to "Plans to (somewhat) improve public transport in Galway"

We've made our thoughts on cycling infrastructure in Galway clear before:

These plans are not compatible with real #ClimateAction. We need more ambition, and more drastic changes to our transport sector.
