The key appears to be treating the car as a guest

“Automobiles need quantity and pedestrians need quality.“ – Dan Burden #Delft

When Dutch cities started removing cars from their streets and plazas in the 1990s, critics argued, “We’re not the Mediterranean!” At the time, their country didn’t have the walking and terrace culture of Spain, France, and Italy; due to its harsh climate. They certainly do now.

Epic!

We don’t call people who drive to work every day “keen motorists”. We don’t think everyone with shoes speaks and acts on behalf of the “walking community”. We don’t expect transit users to lobby for safe and expedient travel. So why is it different for anyone who rides a bike?

OFFICIAL: Report into first week of Dublin pedestrianisation trials around Grafton St finds: 1. Traders' income up 40%-100%. 2. 96% say it's improved streets in public survey. 3. 90%+ say it should be made permanent. 4: Highest footfall in the area since early March.

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

Some cities think if another city is building a network of safe, separated bike-lanes, it MUST be because bike-lanes “just aren’t as controversial in THAT city.” But in my experience, smart action is due to the PRESENCE of political will, not the ABSENCE of political controversy.

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them." ~Miguel Anxo F. Lores, Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain.

Anyone know this tea leaf in Harrogate?

Had a lovely time in York but I’m left wondering how the businesses manage without all the “passing trade” from motor traffic and without on-street parking outside…
