Nine-city study finds richer neighborhoods get more sidewalk shade

One of the best forms of heat relief is pretty simple: trees. In cities, as studies have documented, more tree cover lowers surface temperatures and heat-related health risks. However, as a new study led by MIT researchers shows, the amount of tree cover varies widely within cities, and is generally connected to wealth levels. After examining a cross-section of cities on four continents at different latitudes, the research finds a consistent link between wealth and neighborhood tree abundance within a city, with better-off residents usually enjoying much more shade on nearby sidewalks.

Hype for the Future 108D → Modern Suburban Developments in Smaller Communities

Introduction Though suburban sprawl often dominates in the modern outskirts of major and even minor cities, smaller communities, often of fewer than twenty-five thousand (25,000) residents, may have a more comprehensive sidewalk or related infrastructural network, even in the suburban zones. Within such suburban zones, however, the sidewalk network is often identified in the abstract as substandard, as with the sidewalk networks along major highways in modern suburban […]

Also: it seems bold of them to assume a driver can even get to their vehicle with the current state (and soon to be signficantly worse!) residential roads.

Not to mention that it took several days of unseasonably warm weather to melt off the unshovelled or city snow-blading dumping for the sidewalks to be clear enough to walk on "safely" … still crap for #rollators and #wheelchairs at any alleyway crossing. 🙄

Clearly, the attached-garage crowd has been just fine, amirite? 🙄😡

Dear Friends,
It's not too late to shovel snow from sidewalk in front of the business even though it fell two days ago. Better late than never for the benefit of pedestrians and people on wheels! But, for goodness sakes, take it easy and don't overexert yourself. We spoke, he said he was okay.
