Not every city has a massive waterfall in it but Paterson NJ does, and now we have an even better way to view it thanks to this sweet newly-upgraded pedestrian bridge! I am looking forward to my next visit!! www.nj.com/passaic-coun...
New pedestrian bridge offers stunning views of New Jersey’s Great Falls
A new pedestrian bridge at the Great Falls in Paterson provides closer views of the waterfalls that powered America's first planned industrial center, replacing a wooden plank span built in 1984.

We have heard DOT and law enforcement officials say this here, too.
One of the more disturbing sections of the city's report on right turns on reds : they say that banning right turns on reds will lead to worse safety because drivers will be impatient and kill/injure people due to being inconvenienced.
We can't seriously be hiding behind this right?

Funnily enough, some of the traffic is from the street sweeper they are running over the bridge shoulder to prepare for it reverting to a path this afternoon.
I.e. this is traffic that drivers would not be otherwise experiencing, not to mention whatever it is costing to operate these 4 vehicles.

Thanks to the @cnunewurbanism.bsky.social board meeting, I was able to check out Trilith, a new town inclusive of a massive film production hub in Fayetteville, GA. The urban pattern is supported by a mix of architectural styles and full network of public spaces, many internal to the block structure

Simple daylighting in Miami Beach. Prevents cars from parking in the space, keeping intersections visible, but also allows for drainage without having to move sewer grates or do extensive capital work.

Amazing how quickly "bikes need licenses for safety" turns into naked resentment that there are different rules for different types of vehicles.
Yes, the vehicles which are literally 1000 times less likely to kill someone should have different rules.

The sheer joy of being able to safely and comfortably cycle anywhere in Amsterdam with my daughter is amazing. Today we have cycled all over from East to West to south to Central. Don't have to follow any meandering "Cycleways", just safe streets, everywhere.

Walkable communities are healthy! Most people don't think about infrastructure they just use what is provided. If we want less congestion, better air quality, and to fit exercise into our busy lives, why not just build for it?
"Researchers found that walkable city design—not personal motivation—was the key factor behind people taking 1,100 more steps per day."

It reads like the usual Mikie Sherrill "softly-softly" approach to housing. Do some incentives, maybe make some recommendations, explore financing, beef up anti-discrimination enforcement. It's all fine, but what we really need is to take an ax to exclusionary zoning by local townships.

When you are driving a car, you are driving a deadly weapon.
That's why you have to avoid pedestrians and bicycles, *even if the cyclist or pedestrian is breaking laws.*
The law gives them right of way.
