Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Surely traders on #Derry's Foyle St should get similar compensation from Gordon Lyons, given their road is almost entirely blocked off for over a year by NI Water? Or will this be a case of @duponline.bsky.social looking after only their own areas/voters?

Today's football fix is an Irish Lge Premiership double-header. First up it's high-flying Dungannon Swifts hosting @carrickrangers.bsky.social. Then it's 15 miles up the road for Portadown v @larnefc.bsky.social in the late KO ⚽️ The Swifts' good run continues so far with an early goal at Stangmore👍🏻

On this day 60 years ago #Tyrone & #Donegal lost their rail, & #Derry/ the entire NorthWest of Ireland lost their direct rail routes to Dublin & Belfast. It was the St.Valentine's Day Massacre of rail in West Ulster. This short video helps explain what was lost = youtube.com/watch?v=qV7t...

Disgraceful ongoing attempts by DUP to play the sectarian card re the Lisneal pitch scandal. The party & it's repugnant Education Minister have reacted to genuine questions about transparency & process with nothing but smears, bluster & personal attacks. Suggests they've something to hide?

America is like a giant snail which thinks crawling back inside its shell will make it safer. It will just mean it has less knowledge & influence re what's happening outside. In foreign policy terms it's giving up & creating a void into which countries & actors opposed to the US will gladly step 🤷‍♂️

Great to see Councillors in #Donegal support a motion last week calling on County Council to play lead role in securing feasibility study into restoring Letterkenny-Derry rail, & to organise deputation to the new Dublin gov. Our thnx to Councillor Declan Meehan for bringing the topic before council👍

Latest look at the new stand at the Brandywell. Seats/rails are all in. Roof all finished. Half the back panels on. Good progress👍 I've no idea how advanced the works behind the stand are, as you can't see them. But you'd hope another month would see this over the line (?) 🤞🏻

The pre-season warm up continues for @derrycityfc.net with a home friendly against Ballymena United tonight. Seems to be a starting panel made up mostly of regulars from last season. Expecting a few of the new lads to get a run-out in the 2nd half 👍🔴⚪️⚽️

So Trump's big idea to solve the Middle East is to ethnically cleanse it's indigenous Palestinian population 😲 America's very own 'final solution' - reveald by its President on the eve of #HolocaustMemorialDay    😳 It seems that Israel's genocide approach is now finally American policy. #GenocideDon

Today's random football fix is the National League promotion-chasing tussle between Solihull Moors & Halifax Town. The 'ARMCO Arena' is a very compact ground with a mad little main stand, located a stone's throw from Birmingham Airport. Been a perfect start for the Yorkshire men with an early goal

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Better for congestion AND better for crashes! In the first 12 days of New York City’s new de-congestion pricing program, there’s been a 51% drop in crash-related injuries and a 55% drop in crashes year over year. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

The below comment frm @telegraphnews.bsky.social about domestic flights in England is multiplied heavily re the proposd new Derry-Dublin air route (which comes in addition to the Donegal-Dub one). It's an expensiv symptom of the failure to giv the northwest anythng resembling decent public transprt

Remember this one? Before & after of a brain after a 20 minute walk — why walking to work, or school, or just to get the intellectual juices flowing, is linked to better creative & intellectual performance. Among MANY other benefits to you and to society. Design and build more walkable cities.

A match postponemnt at Dunfermline Athletic brings my Scottish football soirée to a premature end. So today's football fix comes courtesy of @safc.com hosting @stokecityfc.bsky.social in @emiratesfacup.bsky.social. It's been c.25yrs since I was last at Stadium of Light - & it was a lot fuller then😲

A bitterly cold night in Glasgow for the 1st of 3 football games this wknd. A trip to New Douglas Park to watch Hamilton Academical host neighbours @partickthistle.bsky.social in the SFL Championship. An entertaining last 30mins saw the visitors win by the odd goal in a strange but likeable stadium👍

Great news for the lovely Goladh island in Donegal - which has been having a bit of a resurgence in recent years 👍 Hopefully this will result in more people spending more time/nights staying & living on the island 🙏🏻 www.donegaldaily.com/2025/01/09/p...

Just saw this poor wee critter on a footpath in the Waterside in #Derry. Presumably the cold got to him 😞 Vibrant yellow plumage - anyone know what make & model it is? Hope it's nothing rare. @rspbni.bsky.social
