@QuadeCooper @ausgov Go thru the AAT process. Pay the fee, contest it and submit your dates overseas for work!

Breaking car dependency doesn’t mean banning cars or forcing people to get around in different ways. It DOES mean reprioritizing space & budgets to provide real, inviting choices that makes mobility BETTER for everyone. HT @urbanthoughts11 for the graphic. https://t.co/jtKMd9wFn2

@AndrewConstance To be serious about road safety, we need to reduce vehicle speeds. The default urban speed limit has to come down, not just 1 block next to schools but throughout the whole walking catchment.

@CloverMoore So much more inspiring than Randwick.

[Beck Lehman @FrankTurquoise]

@AndrewConstance We need a fair hourly rate for car parking so scarce space is available at a market rate. If someone wants to park they find a space and if we don’t value it at that price we need footpaths and frequent public transport to meet our needs. #highcostoffreeparking @DonaldShoup

[Beck Lehman @FrankTurquoise]

Makes you think, what can we do every day to be the change we want to see in the world? #spaceforchildren #activetravel #transportplanning #data

[Hounslow Cycling @HounslowCycling]

We looked at cars and bikes parked along Chiswick High Road - almost 3x more bikes than cars but cars take up almost 6x more space. The future isn't more car parking. @HanifKhan_1 @CllrSteveCurran @willnorman @peterwalker99

@ChrisStanden88 @jem1ller @jessaroo @PhilipThalis Ah well, when in Oz!! Coogee’s Green councillor was the one to move the motion to remove the people focused street reclamation on Coogee Bay Road despite 87% approval rating from local voters ... thanks @murraymatson inspiring pro car and pro parking move. #liveablecities

@walksydney1 What the heck? Report to council not twitter

[Jussi P. Laine @JussiPLaine]

Please meet our Prime Minister Marin (on the left) and member of the European Parliament, representing the Finns Party, Teuvo Hakkarainen (on the right) in the recent PR photos. One of the photos has been claimed to be inappropriate and tasteless. Guess which one? Oh man.

@jasonpackenham @benji_driver Ooh ooh, signalise all legs of the intersection for peds too!!

[Beck Lehman @FrankTurquoise]

@BrentToderian I miss incidental chats at the kitchen bench or on the stairs. I don’t miss. I won’t miss zoom headaches when we go back...

[Dale Bracewell @Dale_Bracewell]

Fantastic! Please go out and walk, run & bike on our #Seawall, Greenways & in our parks while maintaining your space, watching your speed (when cycling)... and please stay close to home.

Kudos @ParkBoard !

“Curbside reform could cut down on rampant double-parking and congestion and unlock enormous amounts of streetscape — which could be loading zones, daylighting intersections, city buses, pedestrians or storing trash that otherwise piles up on the sidewalk. https://t.co/PfQAYmhL5C

What could Uber do to address driver behaviour? To stop them from blocking bike lanes, Uber could use the data from the bike map — and to prevent the app from allocating rides in a bike lane. https://t.co/gl3oBL8Rq4

“the cities that don’t work for children, don’t work for any of us.”

If you ask children what they want ... they will say spaces for playing. https://t.co/SkTC8D2i8R #cities #play

Slowing vehicle speeds saves lives. In Seattle, “streets across the city will have their speed limits lowered to 25 mph and crosswalk signals will be improved to give people more time to walk.” #citiesforpeople #smartcities #pedestrians #transportplanning

We got our permit! Next Monday we launch Toronto's first-ever #SchoolStreets. SS is a program gaining popularity across the world in which streets are closed to cars in front of schools at pick-up and drop-off time to improve safety & air quality, and reduce car trips & stress.
