    Helsinki Kruunuvuori Bridge opens to pedestrians and cyclists

    "Kruunuvuori bridge an exceptional project by international standards. Bridges of this scale are rarely built exclusively for public transport, pedestrians and cyclists."

    "From the outset, the focus was on pedestrian and cyclist safety, a comfortable travel experience, and barrier-free accessibility...Opening the bridge to light traffic marks an important milestone, providing a safe and distinctive route across the surrounding urban landscape." >>

  6. @ascentale @grammasaurus @bikenite

    I'm honestly not sure how to best tackle that second point.

    Although our infrastructure is incomparable to that in a lot of other countries, this is still a #CarCentric country. Cars are everywhere, they got bigger the last n years, and if you have to share the road with them, you'll have to hope the driver is paying attention and yields to you.

    We almost got driven off the road with a group recently because a driver did not want to yield where he should.

  11. "We've already established that the neighborhood has no sidewalks. It's entirely car centric."

  12. My sense of humour: bus number 777 takes us to the casino. Walking away from the bus stop (or out of the casino after losing all your money...?) seems to be unthinkable.

  17. People often blame the #carCentric model on Oil and car companies, but they would have never been possible if not for #racism which created the #suburbs , with R1 single family only zoning and minimum lot size. The oil and car companies just spread its PR and took advantage of the racism to make a fortune on something no one actually needed and has actively harmed all of us.

  21. This is most interesting: youtube.com/watch?v=7Nw6qyyrTe looking at the 'cost-per-acre' in a few different communities (most in the US)... #CarCentric #PoorSubsidisingRich tl;dw "in *every case* mixed used, walkable neighbourhoods outperform car-focused suburbs. Interestingly, Auckland is included.

  26. One-day family trip to New York City. Staying at the outskirts is a money-saver, but a major chain hotel next to a major highway with no sidewalk (Google didn't recognize this fact, but no one to blame for not doing our research) in this #CarCentric stroad hell known as northern #NewJersey, where even going to the nearest corner store requires driving, is just not it. Well, I guess that's suburban United States for me...

    全家纽约一日游。住郊区是省钱了,然而没仔细考虑,最后选了一个在新泽西某高速辅路上的某大牌酒店,没有车简直寸步难行……

  31. I found the craziest most gigantic parking structure I've ever seen in #spokane. This monstrosity pays true homage to #carculture. I've never seen anything that comes even close, though a quick internet search reveals there are substantially larger structures. Just mind numbing.

  36. #Berlin in #Germany does now what Robert Moses did in #NYC: Tearing down buildings, clubs, housing - for a new #freeway/#Autobahn. People in Berlin voted for more cars, more parking, less bicycle paths, and less pedestrian zones. Berlin goes backwards.
    It is a nightmare.
