It’s amazing how integrated this can be in a way that car infrastructure cannot without an extreme degradation in how enjoyable a place is. #livablecity #bikes

Really lovely work in downtown #Vancouver, love the human scale of of this street made even better by the new bike lane. #livablecity

Jaywalking decriminalization is coming! Only an unjust system would not provide people with the infrastructure they need to safely move through their environment and then police them for not doing so. #arrestedmobility virginiamercury.com/2020/12/21/jay…

Cities are quite good at measuring and accommodating the journeys people make on a given day. But what if they started quantifying and enabling the trips people DON’T take; places they would visit were it not for their unsafe, uncomfortable, inconvenient (or inexistent) options?

Building this community? More like building the cycling city. We talked with Melissa & Chris Bruntlett to find out how better transportation systems and prioritizing people can impact a city.

A century of male-dominated planning has resulted in streets shaped for one purpose: the commute to paid work. Only when cities start taking into account the other unpaid “care trips” taken by residents do they become more inclusive and gender equitable. anchor.fm/storktalks/epi…

Pretty remarkable change. The tall buildings are nice to look at, but I’m not sure they’ve made Chicago anymore livable.

Mayor Brandon Johnson @gia_biagi CDOT I know it's not easy to change a system overnight, but we must redesign all Chicago streets and greatly enhance non-car transportation. Otherwise, more of this is inevitable: blockclubchicago.org/2021/11/04/ukr… CC Block Club Chicago #livablecity #cars

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 & replaced it with a restored stream & 1000 acre park in the city’s centre, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better. The traffic got BETTER.

Raised bike lane with parking on Commonwealth Avenue near Boston University — very nice. Let’s do this on Clark Street in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood. H/T Streetsblog MASS

Way to go @ILBicycleLaw! It’s unbelievable that pedestrians and cyclists are routinely held responsible for being injured when the system of transportation is fundamentally designed against our human safety - it prioritizes car/truck speed/throughput. Completely backwards.

@BarmanNYC “Streets and their sidewalks, the main public places of a city, are its most vital organs. Think of a city and what comes to mind? Its streets. If a city’s streets look interesting, the city looks interesting; if they look dull, the city looks dull.” - Jane Jacobs – Death & Life

Let's make it happen! Would be transformational for getting more people in Chicago to walk, bike, and ride transit to get where they need to go. 🚶🚲🚍🚉🌎❤️
