Imagine if we closed roads to cars & traffic congestion actually REDUCED as a result. Sounds counter-intuitive, yet it’s EXACTLY what research revealed in cities around the world, described as ‘traffic evaporation’ in a seminal UK study of 100 locations. https://t.co/PjZGxHMlng

@BlakeTrask We saw first responders using Rue de Rivoli in February. Its a great resource to have a route through the center of a busy city.

@typewriteralley Is there a model complete streets ordinance that advocates can get behind? Perhaps @CascadeBicycle or @BikeLeague ?
