Cycle infrastructure planned for south Dublin

TBF I think it's you who has the intention to 'shoehorn' in the 'elderly argument' at any opportunity

You read what you want to read into a post, I go back again to what I explained; I was not 'shoehorning' the 'elderly argument' as you call it, can't be clearer than what I explained earlier - context of a valuable service provided by Supervalu in Ranelagh to many people some of whom are elderly and can't cycle therefore walk/drive - that doesn't need data or backup.

Ah here... this is going into twilight zone....who is saying 'store is forcibly shut'? No idea what this post means.

Back to my point that a person reads what they want to read into a post; I didn't 'make out' that anybody was going to starve or something (your word), didn't suggest anybody was being prevented from entering store. What does 'four provences' mean?

Most likely Supervalu didn't seek to address the loading bay issue as it is only since implementation of 24hr cycle lane this year that it will have become more of an issue than in the past. Not being au fait with Musgraves delivery operations it is not for me to posit why they choose to use the delivery fleet that they do; perhaps they are delivering to Ranelagh/Churchtown/Blackrock or some variation thereof.

The issue of delivery trucks and cycle lanes is across the city so argue all you like about illegal parking until a solution/compromise is found this is not going away anytime soon. I cycle to and from work every day and come across delivery trucks and construction trucks parked on cycle path, it's a fact of life, in most cases I don't see any other way for these trucks to go about their business without parking in cycle path but maybe you all live in areas where there are alternatives.

Until somebody who actually works in Transport with Musgraves posts then I'll reserve judgement on the responses. I don't recall saying cycle lanes are 'the problem' again another case of reading into a post what you want to read into it.

Correct, I do have a benign attitude to cycle lanes being blocked by delivery trucks and construction trucks and even by taxis if they are stopping to pick up or drop off passengers, there you go, in my book it's part and parcel of living in a city and no I don't feel in any way inclined to make representations about delivery trucks outside Supervalu or wherever but each to their own.

That reminds me of some guy who said that Copenhagen was boring because the buses ran on time. Yeah, waiting for a bus is really exciting.

Dublin's "unique character"? Yeah, the sh1tty broken roads and footpaths, the relentless traffic noise, the cars absolutely f*king everywhere all the f*king time, that's Dublin's "unique character".

Dublin could have been a lovely city, but it's a kip and will be a kip (possibly a submerged kip) when our grandchildren are dust.
