Brilliant visual illustration of how much #publicspace we have given to #cars

One of these vehicles is seen as a symbol of an elitist lifestyle that imposes itself on others while endangering other people and claiming too much public space.

The other one is just another car.

@aka_Reynolds Lol ....Trudeau's ugly politics with nice was over long time ago. Freeland is much better and was running the show.

A city spent $11.5m on a streetscape project. Within 4 years, they generated $273m in economic output. 🤯

Very important line here from @LouHaigh on road safety:

"We treat road safety in a way as if it is somehow a natural accident. If the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads, were being killed in any other way, we'd be treating it as a pandemic."

Upon completion of my second volume of "ShiftingMobility" book series by Taylorand Francis, eight years of literary endeavor will reach fruition, enabling well-deserved rest after numerous sleepless nights. Enjoy new stories of human mobility and shift in city's transportation.

@darrellbricker @jen_keesmaat Here you go, plain and simple from Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS)

@mattyj612 You missed the fundamental problem. It doesn't matter how big pipe we build, how long pipe we construct, the entire city built with enormous impervious surface (wide streets, parking lots, concrete surface etc.) which will create "massive sheet flow" i.e. flash flooding.

[Shifting Mobility @Com_Mobility]

A graph worth of trillion dollar infrastructure shift - majority of urban trips are short, data from @StreetLightData and @MOTIONTAG . Short trips require more sidewalks, trails, and bike lanes. Current flawed travel data overestimates long trips, leading to more road widening.

[Shifting Mobility @Com_Mobility]

The story of new mobility pattern is written in my new book - "Shifting Mobility." Like our biological DNA, everybody has "Mobility DNA" when we move in cities.

The first new evidence is 50% of all trips are always walking in every city. It's a constant.

High precision, tracked and real-time data from @MOTIONTAG and other smart data sources in eight different cities and different continents show the walking mode share is consistently 50%. It never changes!

@JeffSpeckFAICP I took 16 courses while studying transportation and traffic engineering at the University of Tokyo. Lack of knowledge is probably the only reason for poor understanding of traffic science and safety here.

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them."

@planetizen Isn't it easy to reduce road width and minimize or eliminate parking spaces? Why does an environmental group always find a new way to maintain the status quo, which increases cost a few fold?

A global study reveals that Dutch residents are the most physically active on earth, getting 12.8 hours of exercise each week. The key—designing activity into daily life. The average #Dutch person cycles about 1,098 kilometers per year. HT @Cycling_Embassy

@schlthss What is connection between Santa, christmas and arms?

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

Many people move to the suburbs when they have a family, but then find themselves more isolated than ever before. In contrast, walkable urban neighborhoods provide nearby access to amenities and more chance encounters that build community.
