Agreed
The work commute is statistically the longest and least frequent type of journey we make in a day. Yet it dominates transport planning. Now more than ever, cities must build cycle networks to support recurring local trips: to the corner store, café, community center, or school.
One of the few places in the world you can be on a boat, under a train, under a car, under a plane. 📍 BU Bridge, Boston

After 2-years of planning, special permits have been granted to begin construction on 24 units of housing over retail in Downtown Danvers. One special permit was required to count on street parking for retail uses... just as the prior building did for decades. 📍Danvers, MA
I still can’t get over the fact tap water bottled in Paeroa is shipped more than 11,000km to the US grocery chain Trader Joe’s. What an enormous waste of resources.

This is what 41-unit per acre density looks like. MBTA Communities requires 15-unit per acre density. 📍North Andover, MA
I draw two lessons from this. First, as found in tons of other behavioral literature, "we're all doing this!" is an incredibly effective, motivating message. Quit saying "nobody cares, nobody's doing anything, waa!" Instead say: "Get in, bitch, we're solving climate change!"
New @YaleClimateComm research is powerful + suggests a lot of opportunity for better leveraging what I call #ClimateInfluence. "What can we do? Is there still time?" #Mayors / local leaders and corporate leaders should be SEEN leading. #storytelling linkedin.com/posts/andreale…

IMO, we need less vague talk about things like 20mph laws being safer and more of the faces and stories of the people whose lives are actually saved by good policies, and lost by dangerous ones.
A mother whose son was left seriously injured after he was hit by a car believes the 20mph limit saved his life bbc.in/4aXrAX8
Of all the right wing paranoid fantasies the brouhaha over 15-minute cities is the dumbest and funniest. 15-min cities or “cities and towns” as they were called for millennia, mean you can walk to things in ~15 mins. They are a *reduction* in regulation and *return* to tradition.
gosh, what happens indeed?
When arguing with a 15 minute city advocate, ask them “What happens if I get the opportunity of a lifetime…my dream job, 30 minutes away by car?” The mental gymnastics that ensue demonstrate how you just can’t plan and control something as complex as human society.
Toxic on every level.
Herald columnists are losing their minds over the tone of Secretary Tibbits-Nutt's comments. Too elitist. Too harsh. Too condescending. 😭 The gist of what the Secretary Tibbits-Nutt stated stands: The Commonwealth needs to identify revenue sources. bostonherald.com/2024/04/29/luc…
Great review of federal policy that actively distorts the US vehicle market to encourage large domestic vehicles "The negative externalities of supersized cars — in emissions, crash deaths, and the erosion of tires and pavement" are huge IMO chicken tax seems easiest to change
Oversized SUVs and trucks worsen a slew of societal problems, including crash deaths, climate change, and tire pollution. But rather than restrain car bloat, federal policy has actively encouraged it. In @voxdotcom I explained how. 🧵 vox.com/future-perfect…
@rmchase We have those in Amsterdam too! The city built a huge parking garage under a canal, then eliminated above ground parking spaces. People turned them into gardens.
The work commute is statistically the longest and least frequent type of journey we make in a day. Yet it dominates transport planning. Now more than ever, cities must build cycle networks to support recurring local trips: to the corner store, café, community center, or school.
One of the few places in the world you can be on a boat, under a train, under a car, under a plane. 📍 BU Bridge, Boston

Working with local residents on their design and maintenance, Antwerp is piloting tuinstraten (“garden streets”) in five districts across the city. They improve resiliency (to flooding and heat), liveability and sociability—making these spaces calmer, greener and more beautiful.
Livable neighborhoods start with mixed use buildings and streets narrow enough that they force drivers to slow down, allowing streets to become comfortable shared use paths. 📍 Beacon Hill, Boston
After 2-years of planning, special permits have been granted to begin construction on 24 units of housing over retail in Downtown Danvers. One special permit was required to count on street parking for retail uses... just as the prior building did for decades. 📍Danvers, MA
I still can’t get over the fact tap water bottled in Paeroa is shipped more than 11,000km to the US grocery chain Trader Joe’s. What an enormous waste of resources.
