In case you needed another reminder, it’s absolutely CRITICAL, as we strive to achieve so-called “better cars,” that we make EVERY strategic action/effort at the same time (or even BEFORE/proactively) to ensure that we are achieving FEWER cars, LESS driving, more inviting transpo alternatives & better communities/cities!

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

Here’s some blunt truth — I haven't seen a single North American city with a stated policy goal of mobility "balance" that has actual policies, strategies, street standards/designs, infrastructure budgets, supporting land use etc that would actually ACHIEVE balance. It’s usually code for the status quo, only slightly better — aka cars first.
