Did they deliver on the promises? (hint: of course not, cars can't get out of their own way)

In DC: 14th St, Warf Street SW, Swann St NW, and Barracks Row SE, Beach Drive (when it is open for people walking and biking). But I really love a bunch of alleys even more like Williams Alley near 11th NW.
In NOLA: Magazine, Royal, Dumaine, Esplanade, Frenchman...and many more.

Here’s the thing — If you HAVE to drive, or even just WANT to drive, it’s in your best interest for public transit, walking & biking to be as attractive as possible to EVERYONE else. It means everyone else can take up a lot less space to move.
If everybody drives, nobody moves.

Never forget, when you’re being pressured to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across fundamentally unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging, crocodile-filled river.
