In transportation bureaucratese, it’s called Level of Service. It's a report card describing how freely cars move. But this grade has nothing to do with safety, quality of life, economic productivity, or human flourishing.

@modacitylife Thanks for sharing! I’m in Pontevedra now. Can anyone suggest specific places to go photograph to capture the best of what Lores and co. have achieved? Any amazing parks that highlight its inclusivity, affordable housing or opportunities to rewild the city?

Study shows that cycling commuters have:
🧠 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia
🧠 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's
🧠 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia
🧠 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia

Imagine this was a pill💊! How much would people and governments pay?

@Boenau What about removing the parking space? Pontevedra reduced its car traffic by 90%.

Maybe replace parking with bike lanes, tram tracks or community garden plots?

It's not that the U.S. built cities for the automobile.

It's that the U.S. destroyed cities for the automobile.
