Plant trees in the middle of your street.

Frustrated by inaction on the growing danger of cars on their street, in the 1970s residents of Delft's Tuinstraat illicitly erected barriers to curb traffic.

They inadvertently invented the woonerf (living street): a common space for play and socialization; especially for kids.

@CompletedStreet The NIMBYs in this dense urban neighborhood, including local developers who maintain portfolios of blighted properties, would prefer that it remains underdeveloped.

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

@dmtrubman Crazy that this parcel was a blighted parking lot for nearly a century. And there are many more like it.

@fifimcfae Shouldn't be below 80 until mid-September.

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

@fifimcfae Oh wow, we're seeing a lot of renewed interest in PhilaSD in NW, but also still a good amount of private.

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

Austin had more daylighting at intersections in 2011 than Philly does in 2025. 😔

Gettin my commuter bike ready for when SEPTA cancels the Chestnut Hill West

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

Kei trucks are just comically adorable when you see them IRL.

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

@fifimcfae I just saw this! Where are you going?

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

@jongeeting Such an ideal opportunity for a curbless street here.

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

@the_transit_guy Damn, Nebraska looking looking positively Dutch these days.

[Jon Geeting @jongeeting]

Good read for anybody concerned about the Chestnut Hill West line always being too close to the chopping block. Getting the station-area population up to the citywide average through more housing construction would result in a lot more ridership

Sorry but I can't get past @bcgp advocating against trolleys on a street that is already completely unbikeable. We need modern infrastructure that allows light rail and cycling to safely co-exist. Even if you paved over every track on the Avenue no one would dare to bike on it.

For Whom the Trolley Bell Tolls: Resurrection of Rail Travel on Route 23 Unlikely

Is it time for SEPTA to bury the old Route 23 trolley line? Kyle Bagenstose explores the pros and cons.

@senortalone @PhillyOTIS @civic_grit With directional exemptions for bikes too.

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

@civic_grit The residents are right. @PennDOTNews is overbuilding this for a future mythical traffic volume. It should be a single lane roundabout with protected bike lanes.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

In 2020, 40% of motor traffic in Vilnius' city center was passing through with no intention of stopping—up to 70% on specific streets during the morning peak. In order to keep the social and economic heart of the city pumping, the city introduced a new traffic circulation plan.🧵

A haphazard visualization of a way to return Fairmount Park's eastern riverbank to a beloved park.

In short: make Kelly Drive 1 direction each way, add parking along the edge, create a dedicated bike trail, add frequent pedestrian crossings, and tame intersections.

[Corey Saunders @Philambulator]

@civic_grit There's a book about the early history of the Fairmount Park Guard, and the amount of auto-related incidents that occurred back then is shocking.
