#carfreecity — Public Fediverse posts

🚲 Today is World Car-Free Day!

Have you ever imagined a city designed for people, not cars?

Greenpeace Seoul teamed up with Korean cartoon artist @lazy.drawing to bring this vision to life 👇

A city where walking, riding a bike, public transport, and nature come first 🌳 and where safe, convenient mobility is guaranteed for everyone, no one is left behind.

Check out what our sustainable future cities could look like💭

Today on the #carfreeday2023 we just got a letter from the current #cdu gov. in Berlin bragging about how they fought hard and could screw up the plans for the new bike lanes that are being built in our neighborhood.

Of course plans have been changed in favor of cars and car parking.

I'm speechless 🤡

#Berlin #cycling #carFreeCity

Ooh - this proposal is out for public consultation! Please, please take the time to give your views, even if just a few brief points (and especially if you think it's a good thing, or needs to go even further..)

Deadline: 1 December 2023.

yes. Yes. YESSS. 🚶🏽‍♀️🧑🏽‍🦽👨‍🦯🤸🏽

"A new draft transport plan for Dublin city centre proposes significant road space re-allocation to walking, public transport & cycling."

The proposals include traffic-free Parliament St, College Green & Dame St; a new plaza will be considered at Custom House; sections of the quays may be reallocated for public transport, pedestrians and cyclists.

DO IT. 🥳🎉

@hubertknust Was sagt es über Konservative aus, dass diese das Märchen der autogerechten Einkaufsstadt, immer noch kaufen, obwohl doch mittlerweile jedes Kind verstanden hat, dass menschengerechte, lebenswerte Innenstädte und Stadtteilzentren die Grundlage für florierenden Einzelhandel und Einkaufserlebnisse sind und Parkmöglichkeiten (für PKW) dafür nachrangig, wenn nicht kontraproduktiv sind.

@mattjhodgkinson Now if only Cambridge city extended the proposal to weekends, when air pollution reaches absurd levels on the streets leading to the Grand Arcade parking, in addition to multi-kilometre long traffic jams.
Cambridge city has a conflict of interest with that parking, which it owns, and a legal problem with the commitment to supply parking to the John Lewis department store above. Until this resolves, I remain doubtful any measures will have much impact.

@mattjhodgkinson “each kilometre cycled benefits society to the tune of €0.64, each kilometre driven incurs a net loss of -€0.71, when impacts on individual wellbeing (physical and mental health, accidents, traffic) and the environment (climate, air and noise pollution) are accounted for. So each kilometre travelled where a car is replaced by a bicycle generates €1.35 of social benefits–of which only a few cents would be saved by switching… to an electric-powered car”

Congestion charges are the most effective way to reduce urban car use:

If you don’t like the proposed #Cambridge #CongestionCharge for the Sustainable Transport Zone, but you agree we must reduce car use to lower climate impacts and lessen air pollution, then:

1) Suggest changes to the proposal to make it more equitable and/or practical; and/or

2) Lobby for other policies, e.g. fewer parking spaces, more car-free streets, and resident-only traffic zones.
