Lessons from 6 Years of Local Advocacy

6년간 샌마테오에서 안전한 거리, 대중교통, 주택 옹호 활동을 하며 얻은 교훈을 공유한다. 차량 속도가 보행자 안전에 가장 큰 영향을 미치며, 느린 거리 조성이 자전거 차선보다 더 폭넓은 지지를 얻는다는 점을 강조한다. 도시의 토지 이용과 주차 최소 규제가 보행과 교통 행동에 근본적 영향을 미치며, 고령자들이 지역 교통 정책 변화에 중요한 지지층임을 발견했다. 도로 프로젝트는 긴 시간이 걸리므로 지속적인 관심과 체계적인 추적이 필요하며, 개인의 운전 대체 행동이 지역 교통 정책에 실질적 영향을 준다는 점도 중요하다.

Lessons From 6 Years of Local Advocacy

Five lessons from 6 years of safe-streets, transit, and housing advocacy in my city — from why slow streets beat bike lanes to who actually shows up.

MIT researchers have produced the first citywide map of pedestrian activity in New York City, revealing how much walking has been overlooked in transportation planning and making a stronger case for funding safer, people-first streets

MIT researchers just mapped New York City foot traffic for the first time ever

The effort could supply data that finally gives pedestrian infrastructure the funding it deserves.

This paragraph really jumped out at me, because it tells, in a nutshell, so much about what's wrong with american towns and suburbs - and the attitudes of the people brought up in this environment.

They think there's nothing wrong with this barren wasteland of forced automobile use - and yet they absolutely love going to Europe and the rest of the world to places that are *the exact opposite* of this.

Making it easier for people to get to places where there's nothing people actually want to get to is not helpful. It won't boost your economy or the town's civic life & activities.

Creating transit to places people don't like & don't want is a nonstarter.

You'd think that would be obvious, but...apparently not. Especially when the chamber of commerce is the one who made the unwanted places.

The International Federation of Pedestrians developed an “Adult Walk Audit“ tool to help diverse groups assess pedestrian conditions in public spaces. It combines numerical scoring with lived experience to identify barriers, inform street redesign and improve walkability.

Sharath from Building Beautifully has put up a video about arguably Australia's biggest urban planning success story of the past 40 years.

That's the emergence of Parramatta as one of Australia's great cities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifGwIJo7OWo

And with good reason. There's a lot that Parra has done right.

Instead of just building apartments or office towers, it's built both.

It's built enough new apartments close to public transport to keep house prices level, even as demand has grown.

It has multiple train lines, ferries, and dedicated busways, has added light rail, and is adding a metro.

It has the best public square in the whole Greater Sydney metro area in Parramatta Square.

It has a pedestrianised main street with many restaurants.

And it's cemented itself as the second CBD (central business district) for the Sydney metro area, and the main CBD for Western Sydney.

If you have any interest in urbanism and cities, it's worth visiting on a weekday just to see what it looks like when urban planning works.

It is not a fuel crisis,
it is a fossil fuel crisis!

Oh dear, We forgot to transition our mobility system
Go e-anything now without the matching active mobility infrastructure.

This fuel crisis could last for a while. It’s time for a new approach to fuel use – end it. >>

This fuel crisis could last for a while. It’s time for a new approach to fuel use – end it

With the same fiscal support that Canberra found to back the oil industry, we could start to end our oil dependence.
