  1. If you are near oakland area in pittsburgh on Tuesday, there is a gathering to present findings from a two-year study of safety hazards on Bates Street.

    The report includes the results of two 15-hour data collection events organized by the two groups to collect counts of motor vehicles, pedestrians, and bikes crossing the intersection.

  3. Clever Upgrades (9 Photos)

    We usually think of art as something to look at from a distance, but what if it’s something you can sit on, walk through, or use to knock on a door? Across the globe, visionaries are proving that functionality and creativity aren’t mutually exclusive. These aren’t just decorations; they are urban upgrades that transform the “gray” of daily life into moments of pure surprise. From a 12-speed bicycle that guards a garden to a building that breathes through thousands of plants, here […]

  5. The Daily Fail would scream blue murder at this 'waste of taxpayers' money' [cash which should be going to oligarchs as tax breaks] 'for arty-farty so-called architecture' [making the city more appealing and practical for the proles].

    That is why we are not allowed nice things in the UK.

  7. Great video about introducing play streets in Montreal: youtu.be/Nx7WtIAt9RM?si=MKRYof.

    "Car-friendly" and "kid-friendly" are very different things.

  9. Excellent video about road safety and how we all internalized the false notion of "shared responsibility". youtu.be/Z31YZj1kwiA?si=OKFjet

  10. @NieleSchulz Ok, very amusing, but this is terrible traffic design.

    That bike lane is already very dangerous, with risks of being crushed on one side and doored on the other side. It's just a waste of paint.

    Do the job properly, protect the bike lane with a permeable barrier, so that vehicle drivers will damage their vehicle if they encroach.

  11. I did not expect to see a pedestrian scramble in Steveston! Looks nice. Although kids didn't manage to cross in time.

  14. DOT put out a survey asking for input on #Astoria streets. Centered around a proposal for a bike boulevard on 31st Ave, but tell them everything about how much better streets could be for everyone in Astoria!

    My reach here isn’t what it was on Twitter so please share on and off Mastodon so as many Astorians can see this as possible!

  15. Is Oslo the next great cycling city?

    Since 2015, Oslo has been implementing sweeping changes to make their streets safer and increase cycling numbers.

    This new video from @notjustbikes shows the progress they've made.

  18. RT @JeffSpeckFAICP - Does your city or county not require street trees along its new roads? I've written this generic text to help you change that.

  20. Do your urban streets have enough street trees? Only if your design choices prioritize them! This downtown #Vancouver street has 4 rows of trees on just 1 side! Yard trees, 2 sidewalk trees, then bike-lane buffer trees.
    Don’t tell me you have to choose between density OR green! But you DO have to stop making cars the top priority in everything, and do underground street design differently.

  22. Are your streets for cars or for people? Just because the answer is cars right now, doesn’t mean you can’t change that if you really want to. This #TelAviv transformation before & after between 2016 and 2021 is well documented by #schlijper’s great photography. #StreetsForPeople #streetdesign #cities #urbandesign #urbanplanning #urbanism #peopleplaces #streets #people

  24. We’ve always needed safe infrastructures for people, but that need is now even greater as vehicles have gotten bigger and bigger in cities.

    In 2000, an urban bike-rider next to the most common vehicle back then, a Toyota Camry, had 18 inches on either side. Today an urban bike-rider next to a now frighteningly common Ford F-150 has just 4 inches.

    Stolen space.

  26. Here’s some blunt truth — I haven't seen a single North American city with a stated policy goal of mobility "balance" that has actual policies, strategies, street standards/designs, infrastructure budgets, supporting land use etc that would actually ACHIEVE balance. It’s usually code for the status quo, only slightly better — aka cars first.

  28. Remember, the idea of “shared streets” doesn’t work if the theory is that everyone’s on an even playing field, because they’re not. Cars need to be prioritized last, usually moving no faster than walkers stroll. The relative size of images on this #Paris street conveys priority. #cityplanning #urbanplanning #streets #streetdesign #urbandesign #walkablecities #cities #sharedstreets
