Action Plan

Timeline: when do you think you will be able to start?
September 1 2022 to coincide with end of summer holiday and reopening of schools, all our members will be back from various summer trips too.

How often will your team meet?
We will meet once a week for the first four weeks to ensure all the monitors are working, then once a month for 18 months.

Are there any key dates to share for the project?
We would ideally like to review the data on a quarterly basis, dates to be confirmed. We will use the data to advance a pop up cycle lanes pilot for summer 2023.

Budget: you don't need to share exact prices, but we would like to know how you're planning to spend the seed funding and what costs you are anticipating to get your project up and running.
We need the funding to purchase the monitors. No other costs are predicted at this time.

COVID-19 Safety Plan: we want to ensure that you are following all local guidelines and regulations to keep everyone involved safe!
Meetings will all be online. Monitors will be distributed to team members’ homes in following relevant public health advice.

Expected Impact: how will your community benefit from this project?
Our community is a thoroughfare for motor traffic coming from the suburbs to Dublin city, we need data to quantify the public health problems this is having on local residents whose requests for traffic calming and better walking/cycling infrastructure has been ignored for years by our local authority and representatives.

Do you have any measurable goals for your project such as number of people who participate?
We will be doing outreach with businesses, schools, and community organizations. Our members are a diverse group of engaged residents with organic links to the community. Measurable goals will include 5000 signatures for our petition for traffic calming and diversion for the summer pilot previously mentioned.

Are you hoping to spread knowledge or increase interest in a specific subject?
Yes, the link between air quality and public health is our main message. 1300 Irish people die prematurely every year due to poor air quality. This is disproportionately worse in lower income, inner city communities like ours.
Location: if your project requires space, have you decided the location? do you have all necessary permission and permits to carry out your project at the chosen location?
Yes, members homes will be used to locate the monitors.
