If you ever get discouraged with local municipalities not building safe, pedestrian-oriented, living streets in your neighbourhood, please remember that residents tearing up pavement late at night to make it so cars have to drive slower is an option.

And was necessary.

My council is going to put in a zebra crossing near my street. I wrote to the m last year about making my whole street a #woonerf which got shut down pretty firmly by the mayor, but now they're going to build a zebra crossing. It's a step in the right direction!

Read my take, and find the links to my suggestion to the mayor and his reply:

(There's other good bike-themed stuff, too, if you click about a bit.)

Did you know Victoria has a Woonerf? My latest article looks at the Oaklands Rise woonerf. A wonderful grassroots pedestrian space in the Oaklands neighbourhood.

Have a read and let me know your thoughts on this unique and beautiful space!
