Crosswalks:

“Trees take too long.”
Look what they did in a mere 8 years. . .

[Wrath Of Gnon @wrathofgnon]

Do you have these within a ten minute walk of your home? Pharmacy, school, dentist, clinic, a way to make a living, grocery, hardware store, playground or park, barber, cafe, library, optician, book store (12 places total)?
Congratulations on living in a real town. #GoodUrbanism

@Minazi81 چرا زیاد داریم. ارزان هم که هستن.

[Mike Lydon (mikelydon.bsky.social) @MikeLydon]

As I documented last week on this website, the of lack of visibility and truncated crosswalk is the direct result of striping crews not towing illegally parked cars during street resurfacing projects. The issue is rampant. And now an innocent 7yr old child is dead. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😔

That separated, protected lane ABSOLUTELY fights #ClimateChange.

And air pollution. And inequality. And preventable diseases. And public health cost increases. And cost of living increases. And tax increases. And it supports economic devt & allows more trips in a lot less space.

@DavidZipper it's the part of movement to show the opposition against the government.
the man said: women, life, freedom.

@JSadikKhan your book Street Fight is translated into persian. I am really delighted to read it. In our city, Tehran, full of city governor proud of making highways, it would be a great book to suggest them.

[Pedestrian First @FirstPedestrian]

@JeffSpeckFAICP About Walkable city rules, yes it is translated.
but I am not sure about Suburban Nation, If I found that it is not translated, we will put it on the schedule.
I bought "transect urbanism". for now its translation is on the progress. 😁

“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transportation.”

Seeing action encourages more action.

Change your point of view to see the reality

[A Pattern Language @apatterntolearn]

People need dedicated space to work with their specific team, as well as common spaces to share.

[A Pattern Language @apatterntolearn]

Shared meals strengthen ties within groups.

Make them regular, comfortable, and with room for guests.
