Greetings from Northampton, Massachussets, where I'm getting an unplanned front row seat to the Spring rollout of curbside dining! #urbanism #CovidIsNotOver #CurbsidePatios #OutdoorDining #COVIDisAirborne @streetsblogmass

Toronto's curbside patios made 49 times more money than the parking they replaced.

“This is an example of how productive a place can be when we don’t fixate on parking"

“The key is to think of the street not as inherently being a space to park or drive cars, but as public space that can be purposed for any sort of public activity"
