California Has to Stop Building Freeways. Now. https://t.co/kjDkogBowq

[Streetsblog CA @StreetsblogCal]

"People aren't used to thinking of freeways as fossil fuel infrastructure, but they are." Once built, there's no going back, no making up for the extra driving by trying to convince people that a bus might be a better choice - we're stuck with it. https://t.co/llZ197skFF

People need parks! Exciting to see this @LuskinCenter evaluation conclude that the community-driven "Link" model is the best way of connecting underserved communities to public funding for green infrastructure. More funding for #ParkEquity.
