Life in the city

This is one of major issues in the Dublin area and nationally. Transfer can look easy on a map, but transport options do not always link obviously. A German style integrated timetable is needed, so you know you only ever have to wait 5-10 minutes max for a transfer during main hours (there is no one rush hour any more - people move in large numbers all day). Information on the Travel 90 option needs to be clearer - where do I tag on/off etc. On access to ports - the withdrawal of the airport 747/748 buses was a huge mistake. The private bus replacement does not accept Leap cards. The Dublin bus options also allowed for accessibility, with wheelchair space. Dublin Port access is terrible at ferry times. A taxi is the only option for door passengers

Cycling in the city is much better than even 5 years ago, with some great initiatives by Dublin City Council. However most of the infrastructure is still on road, with road repair much better in the centre of the road/street and full of potholes on the cycle lane. Some cycle lanes are crazy, such as in Rabelais, where the bike lane is also car parking. More cycle only traffic lights would be welcome, as wou more off road lanes - especially near schools and along the canals/river networks. Some residents streets run parallel to major routes and these could be used more as shared roads. Residents should be told to use on site parking spaces and to remove cars from the kerbside, where this is an option. 

The road network needs to be maintained, be deprioritised, as a route for private cars. Roads should be seen as routes for public transport options, in the first instance. Parking needs to move off street, as much as possible, especially on narrow city streets, such as Capel St. Sone locations, such as Merrion Square, can cope with ó street parking, but parking here is a privilege and should be charged at a premium. P&R options from other spaces like this, or specific Car Parks should be analysed and used. Analysis too of multi story car parks, vs on street parking in key urban areas (are people using the car parks, or still choosing to park at the front of the shop). 
Parking up on footpaths needs to be banned outright and enforced. In residential areas, where houses have driveways, these should be used and the road itself used more for safe cycling, eg school cycling runs. The city centre core needs to consider car bans, on odd/even days, for example, or on a few Sundays a year. Nobody is any company/office should have free parking on site, as a privilege a if one is provided, this must be paid for

Specific hours for deliveries would be welcome, in wider areas. Pre 11:00hrs - All vans should have an identifier that they are in the city on business, so that "white vans" cannot be used for leisure journeys 

Each area of the city could have. Public information campaign on how much noise/air/light pollution is in their area, with an analysis, for example, of where the pollution is coming from - from short local journeys, or from commuters coming into the city and trying to find a free parking space. Some car/bike owners and walkerscould use tracking devices as part of any analysis to see how long each journey is
