If you want safer streets, less pollution, a nicer environment, better public transport, it’s
not enough to say, “yeah that’s a great idea” - you need to register your approval and support.
Otherwise the negative voices will appear to be the majority!

📢🌳🚶🚲 Have your say on DLR Connector!
DLR Connector would see 6km of new segregated cycle lanes and walking facilities.
I really like this project, but the Council want to hear what you think about it. More: evadowling.ie/dlrconnector
Consultation closes on July 15th
