This week, the City of Rotterdam opened a beautiful new parking structure for 900 bicycles in the city center—named "De Koopgoot"—which will allow visitors to store their bikes close to shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions in a free, supervised, and sheltered facility.🧵

In the late 80s, San Francisco's Embarcadero Freeway carried 100,000 vehicles per day as a sort of traffic sewer, blocking the city from the expansive waterfront. But in 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake rocked the freeway beyond repair, giving planners and engineers no choice

Since we all know driver behavior is the key reducing crashes and not the clothes a person is wearing while walking in public, this should encourage you: Raised crosswalks can reduce pedestrian crashes by 45%. The reason is simple -- they slow down drivers.

It takes me so long to walk anywhere in this city because I stop and take pictures constantly. I love Philadelphia so much and genuinely feel bad for people that are too scared to spend time here because of what they see on the internet

Girona has long-term plans to tunnel the elevated train tracks running through the heart of the city, but in the meantime, they are making the most of the existing railway viaduct; activating the area below with a kilometre-long path that forms the spine of their cycling network.

Between the high front-end design and speed, SUVs and pickups are wrecking balls of traffic violence. Should operators of America's favorite vehicles be required to earn a commercial driving license, like a truck driver?

Remember, when Barcelona eliminated 3 lanes of vehicle traffic & converted this street into a 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid, businesses sued. They actually won. But by then businesses had decided they actually like it. citylabbcn.org/the-legal-atta…
