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!

The birth of a woonerf.

📍: Antwerp, Belgium

#woonerf

In the voice of David Attenborough: “In the quietude of the urban expanse, an empty street begins its slow transformation into a woonerf, a vision of the future where shared spaces promise to bridge the gap between nature and mankind. As yet untouched by foot or cycle, it awaits the symphony of life that will soon fill its surface, heralding a new era of coexistence in the heart of the city.”
