    You're not entitled to stop on a mandatory cycle lane/clearwayfor loading and unloading.

    I'd be interested to know if those who disagree with the pedestrianisation of College Green would also like Grafton Street turned back to allow vehicular traffic again (it's kinda sad that it's taken so long to get this far)...

    What if this whole COVID thing is a big hoax and we end up making our cities better for nothing?

    The only problem I have with pedestrianising College Green is the affect it will have on bus routes. I would be in favour of only allowing buses to use it (that includes banning taxis from it). If there was a way to re-route the buses without them getting too bogged down in traffic on another route then I'd be in favour of it fully. I've walked through College Green a lot over the past few weeks and with the reduction in traffic, even with the buses still using it, it is a hell of a lot more pleasant than it usually is.

    If the only options I had were leave it the way it is and full pedestrianisation then I'd go for full pedestrianisation.

    And no, no way in hell would I want vehicles (buses or any other) using Grafton Street or Henry Street. Perhaps that makes me a bit of a hypocrite but there you go.

    We all thought it was the lizard people who were behind the new world order and the coronavirus hoax, turns out it was the cycling lobby all along.
