Rotterdam allows all shop- and restaurant owners to convert parking space in front of their business into terraces or other.
Free wooden parklet decks offered and no permit required!
Next step; offer this to residents maybe?Source: https://t.co/4FJnPHO6Rt pic.twitter.com/e74eOIERgc

This afternoon.
Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
Civilised.
Meanwhile…
In Dublin there is currently a SIX step planning permission route to put ONE table outside a pub or cafe – €250 per table + €250 per 4m sq per year. Brilliant https://t.co/rAImYgp0Se

Rotterdam also has 5 metro lines and 8 Tram lines ….but shure stopping cars will solve all the city centres problems …for a small minority anyway
Councils are throttling this country, someone tell me a better way of doing things so I can tell other people it was my idea
True
But since they started getting refunded from Central Government they’ve had to engage in far more aggressive revenue enforcement
Rates, Parking, Contributions from Developers, evictions etc
Great idea, can only be a positive for the city.
This is gas – suggest reapportioning even a teeny, tiny proportion of the vast swaths of physical infrastructure given over to private motor vehicles in Dublin city centre, and watch all of the dinosaurs above lose their collective poop.
I would gladly trade this for the current situation of cafe windbreakers and tables extending well over half the pavement in some areas of town.

Yew joker…
