Director Mike Riley wants your feedback. Tell him what you want to see at our new skate parks. Take the survey: https://t.co/GIqur8BnIH

Good ideas which challenge the status quo frequently get co-opted by the status quo in an attempt to preserve itself.

Thrilled to share @MontgomeryParks has been awarded a $7.5M US DOT “Safe Streets and Roads for All” grant to fund projects that will prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries in our parks and trails. Thank you @SecretaryPete! #VisionZero https://t.co/TQ499bTGGd

This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20 years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF

"For the poorest 10 percent of U.S. households, the share of after-tax income going to vehicle costs (22.6 percent) is 7.5 times as large as the share spent on vehicle costs by the richest 10 percent."

@justupthepike I know that view!

Urbanism is obsessed with quantitative data like population growth rates, median house prices & transit wait times. But the true indicators of great cities— joy, racial harmony, stewardship, hope, belonging, connection to the land etc.—are often qualitative, embodied & sacred.

@JakeAnbinder Had a professor @SyracuseU who required us to list Great Society programs in an exam. They’re burned into my head (well, some are): Medicare, Medicaid, Older American Act, ESEA, NEA, Office of Economic Opp., & if they are “programs” the Voting Rights Act & Civil Rights Act.
