  1. Like in Montreal...
    “Owning a car only adds to the financial stress that a lot of particularly young people feel living here. And there’s not a ton of parking. There’s a lot of snow in the winter, so you have to dig out your parking spot. Fights break out because people perceive that others are trying to take their spot from them. So the idea of having a car here doesn’t appeal to me at all.”

  2. Another shot of Americans LOVING a #walkable city. Unfortunately, it's not a real city. How about we build our real cities this way?

  3. “If you start with a national goal for reducing transportation emissions, it will force you to focus more on public transportation and less on road construction.”

  4. i finally visited the new park at 5m

    the walkway is really nice (we definitely need more car-free spaces! +bollards)

    as well as the street leading to to it. it's a narrow width and drivers naturally slow down. that's good traffic calming

    big ups to the designers! #SanFrancisco #transportation #landscapearchitecture #CarfreeCities #CarFreeZones
