Stockholm’s plan to get cars out of the city.

Instead of imposing permanent pedestrianisations, authorities are backing pop-up schemes to make streets temporarily car-free.

Just saw a post on another platform about the proposed #pedestrianisation of #London’s Oxford St and was blown away by the venom and cynicism.

It seems the combination of #sustainability, improved #AirQuality and #DisabledAccess are beyond the wit of humanity and the enemy of business.

How do European cities successfully manage pedestrianisation?

Parisians back 'garden roads' project in record low turnout.

Residents of Paris have backed a project to pedestrianise and create green spaces on hundreds of roads in the French capital in a consultative vote.

Some two-thirds of those who voted in the poll backed the plan, dubbed the "garden roads" project, but only 4% of the Paris electorate turned out to cast their ballots.

Pedestrianization projects around Paris' landmarks spark tensions.

Trocadéro, Butte Montmartre, Concorde... As her term in office comes to an end, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo is pursuing her policy of redeveloping public space, not without a few clashes.

📃New article out evaluating resident views on #pedestrianisation:
🟩66% of local residents supportive of Barcelona's recently pedestrianised green axes , based on results of representative survey (n=1,211)
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0197397524001176
- Majority support also among residents of non-pedestrianised streets
-Support for pedestrianisation declines markedly with age
-Public transport🚎 and cycling🚲 use increases support for pedestrianisation, while the contrary is true for car🚗 and motorbike 🏍️use

Anyone opposed to further pedestrianisation of Cork should look at Ljubljana 🇸🇮

So far 10 hectares of the city centre is car free with local approval ratings ranging from 88% - 95%.

The air is cleaner, the streets are greener and business is booming. It is also a joy to visit!

People are seeing the benefits (to traders, as well as shoppers and residents) of greater #pedestrianisation. #CorkCity's first #CarFree day in 20 years broadly welcomed as a success.

From Oslo to Helsinki, the list of cities across Europe introducing car-free initiatives is lengthening.

Removing cars from city centres - or at least restricting their access - has been shown to transform urban areas into safe places for walking and cycling while significantly reducing air and noise pollution.

Does this have an economic cost or is it a win-win situation?

In relation to the mantra of #pedestrianisation against #commerce and #retail
someone sent me this article on "Cities: The International Journal of Urban Policy and Planning" that proves otherwise.

Using a unique transaction dataset containing the estimates of sales volumes for stores across Spain and combine it with data from #OpenStreetMap they found that "pedestrianization increases retail stores' sales volumes."

Finally - on the day it closes - filled out the #Fife Council survey about possible changes to South Street in #StAndrews. Survey didn’t work on my iThingies so did it on my laptop. In principle I’m in favour of #pedestrianisation but as a #disabled visitor I already find St Andrews hugely problematic for parking and getting around with two sticks or my #wheelchair. #PublicTransport is absolutely not an option for me. Nor is out of town parking. Anyway gave them feedback! https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a16f0c5950584707a3bb3db754640ad9
