    I have to say there is currently a woeful response to the thread on the Dublin City forum. The deadline for initial comments on the existing development plan is 12th March. For such a busy forum here and over at the Dublin forum, why has no-one any comment to make on a development plan that will be in force for six years?

    Apathy?

    I find it hard to understand why there has been so little response to DCC's engagement with boards?

    I don't work for DCC but have been involved in planning activism for quite a while, this saddens me tbh. There are more comments on a lapdancing thread!

    MaDsl,It is purely and simply due to the TOTAL collapse in Public confidence in the administration of our Public Offices.

    Having scanned through the Public Transport element of the document I cannot see any purpose in witting down and offering an opinion.

    Only yesterday some of my Union Reps were run out of the Managers office after they sought to discuss elements of the proposed Dublin Bus rescue plan....."Out" sez the Man...."They`re coming in on the first of March and that`s it...now get out "

    Whats the point in seeking a raft of "Views" in these programmes when everybody knows that the decisions are already made.

    Does the Council cater for a reduction of some 200 High Capacity buses a day in it`s planning I wonder..???


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    Cycling
    Significant progress has been made in providing infrastructure for cycling in the City since the current Development Plan was adopted. The challenge for the next Plan is to identify what initiatives can be taken that would motivate greater numbers of people to cycle in the City, especially to work and education.

    Significant!

    Significant signs on the roads saying bus lanes and cyclists share.

    Significant cycle lanes which are just used by the left wheels of a car. So much so, the cycle lane is marked by a broken line.

    Significant cycle lanes which just mount and unmount foothpaths.

    Significant me h**e
