The document discusses building a cycle network in Dublin. It notes that only 10% of planned cycle routes have been completed after 7 years of work. At this pace, it would take 280 years to finish, but completing routes 25 times faster in 25 years is possible. Several challenges delay projects, including lengthy approval processes, stakeholder objections, and a lack of priority and funding. The document argues for enabling cycling through building safe, connected infrastructure to create a positive feedback loop of more riders and faster network delivery.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

● What is delaying new cycle infrastructure?
● How can we can we speed up delivery?
4. “Our vision for Dublin is a vibrant,
liveable city where everyone can enjoy
everyday walking and cycling”
Dublin Cycling Campaign’s Vision
5. The three things people need to cycle
1. Access to a suitable cycle
2. The appropriate knowledge to cycle
3. A cycle route suitable for their needs
Why people travel the way they do is
a deeply personal choice based on a
huge number of criteria
6. Four types of ‘cyclists’

subsection of the population. Investing in
cycling won’t make a meaningful contribution
to Ireland’s transport problems”
– Too Many Key Decision Makers in Ireland
49. Cycle of
Change

Cycling
Positive feedback loop if
more people START
cycling because of...
● Building safe cycle
routes
● Easier access to
cycles
● Seeing ‘more people
like me’ cycling
● Learnt necessary
knowledge and skills
Negative feedback loop if
more people QUIT cycling
because of...
● Experience road

● Apathetic Garda

● Stolen cycle
● Changing life

51. Development Stages
1. Concept Design
2. Preliminary Design
3. Statutory Approval Process
4. Detailed Design
5. Procurement
6. Construction
52. Planning Permission for Cycle Infrastructure
● Section 38 of the Road Traffic Act 1994
● Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001
● Planning Act 2000 & Roads Act 1993
● Private developments via Planning and Development Act 2000
53. Section 38
● Can be used to provide “traffic calming measures” including cycle lanes
● Conditions:
○ Council can change existing roads
○ No road widening. Must stay within existing boundaries
● Only needs the council officials approval
● Approval period: 2-8 weeks
59. Part 8
● Council advertises project. The public can make submissions.
● Councillors vote to approve or reject the project
● Any compulsory purchase orders need to be approved by An Bord
Pleanála
● Requires a proper planning application (3-9 months preparation)
● Approval process (4 months)
63. Projects that need An Bord Pleanála approval
● Various sections of the Planning Act 2000 and Roads Act 1993
● Need an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
○ Large-scale construction projects
○ Projects with potentially significant environmental impacts
● Preparing an application takes 12-24 months
● An Bord Pleanála decision takes 9-18 months
66. Private Developments
● Private developer upgrades existing public road beside development
● Delivery local cycle network within developments
● Quality varies dramatically
● Can be small but significant contribution
