This morning.
Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.
Fingal County Council has become the first Local Authority in Ireland to launch a ‘Mobility Hub’ to “support accessible and sustainable travel “.
Via Fingal County Council
The hub comprises five parking bays with specific colour-coordinated functions including age-friendly, disabled, electric vehicle charging, bike rack (bike share and public), and car sharing.
The aim of the Mobility Hub is to encourage varied and sustainable types of transport in areas that are close to existing public transport links with high concentration of employment, housing, shopping, amenities and recreation.
Over the coming months, the Mobility Hubs will be rolled out on a phased basis across Fingal towns and villages….
Impressive move?
Or fresh restrictive madness?
Only you can decide.

That’s all very well but will they maintain that road art? Line-painting is neglected by many councils.
Maybe those that are homeless in the that can afford s 191 reg motor
I cannot even afford a 171 reg and work my tail off
Ps lunch break
Look at photo
Do you smell toast, david?
Does age-friendly mean geriatric?
In Barry’s Hotel, yes.
Ha! Was known as Jurassic Park in the day.
Grab-a-granny in the Cork version.
I’m not being smart, what does “age-friendly” mean?
Aul wans.
Hmmmmmm
The entitled and downright rude aul bitches in my area are going to LOVE this.
I can foresee arguments. What age is “too young to park there”?
Won’t these colourful spaces still be occupied by any random bx with his hazards on anyway?
You can park there for ages and its grand.
It is neither an “impressive move” nor is it “fresh restrictive madness”. It is a “sustainable travel” initiative that is mostly parking spaces. Total crap.
There’s no basis for enforcement of the “age-friendly” or car sharing space either.
