'It’s like we live in a hostile environment, where everything feels like it’s been made more difficult by design' ShaunaReports
Our towns and cities will never become the bike and public transport heavens found in Nordic countries as long as those stuck in the past continue to hold all the power on Northern Ireland infrastructure decisions.
Traffic lights favoured walkers, scooter riders and cyclists - they aren’t an afterthought - and what an incredible difference that one mindset change makes. Then there’s the ease of access. In Belfast, Derry and other cities, towns and villages across the North, our systems don’t flow well. Nothing is designed in a way that makes it easy for walkers to get from A to B, never mind people on a bike.
It’s like we live in a hostile environment, where everything feels like it’s been made more difficult by design. And there’s absolutely no use in a 10-year cycle plan, when active travel is still considered secondary. Yes, the real thing takes a little more effort, but when businesses claim they care about the environment and sustainability that should extend to decorations.
