TFW the most popular cars in America are so big that you can't see a literal conga line of preschoolers from the driver's seat without advanced video technology.

This is the type of policy that makes sense on most low speed neighborhood streets around the country. Shared streets allow for local traffic only, while providing safety for people on bikes and pedestrians walking in the street. Way to go @BTVDPW!

I am so excited that thanks to @RoweSantos and @patrickbrownont that @CityBrampton is creating temporary #covid19 #bikelanes for better #physicaldistancing in #BikeBrampton

We are joining cities like #Bogota #Paris #Montreal and #Vancouver

UPDATE: Louisville, KY quietly overtook Vancouver, and two others in the top five North American cities, with 11 miles of #Covid19Streets #OpenStreets

1) Minneapolis: 18 miles
2) Denver: 13.3 miles
3) Louisville: 11 miles
4) Vancouver, BC: 10.53 miles
5) Portland, OR: 7.5 miles

Our team likes to call them "human cities" but we love the sentiment--we already have the knowledge and experience to shape and plan great cities. Let's do it!

Street design and vehicle design must prioritize the most vulnerable--meaning everyone not in a car or truck!

The next time you hear someone complain that there's nowhere to park, or there aren't enough highway lanes to accommodate rush hour traffic, send them this (Via @streetsblogkea.)

WATCH: The most amazing thing about this absolutely AMAZING car commercial, is that it doesn’t seem to realize how effectively it makes the point that cars are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn cars. HT @javiermalagon

We're planning for a resilient future. Today, the @CityOfNOLA announced the beginning of a year-long process to create, for the first time ever, a multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan for #NOLA.
