“20 mph is plenty for anything on New York City neighborhood streets, and certainly in our bike lanes. The data is clear: anything faster than 20 mph is especially deadly. 20 is plenty — no matter who you are or how you’re traveling. Speed kills.”

[Ben Furnas @bfurnas]

An awful tragedy on the Queensboro Bridge - a cyclist collided with a person riding an illegal high-speed scooter.

Our statement: “Devices like this have no place in our bike lanes.”

It’s the sidewalks, stupid.

Sidewalks are the least understood, most overlooked public space.

No discipline claims it, so it’s up to us normal human beings to make sure this central public space becomes recognized as a top priority for every community.

Let's shift the development paradigm from #Placetaking to #Placemaking through #PlaceLedDevelopment and #PlaceCapitalism.

We've loved learning from, and supporting, the #PlacemakingAotearoa and #PlacemakingAuckland conversations and communities.

Outdoor dining should be year-round. As I told @nytimes my bill to expand and streamline roadway dining is great for neighborhood businesses, workers, and everyone who likes a nice meal outside☀️
