A before-and-after video instead of just an image, Rue Landouzy in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, in order to keep the full image ratio and show the whole of the young new tree in the foreground ;)

1400 signatures to put in a bike lane around City Hall.

Seems like a lot more than the "500" the CM got to get on the ballot and run unopposed...

Fairmount Park in Philadelphia has tremendous potential to be a world class park like it once was, but it's held back by far too many high speed roads and extremely deteriorated paths for people walking and biking.

Advocates seek to finally change that: whyy.org/articles/phi...

Philadelphia CP Jay Young refuses to answer questions about why he is holding up a bike lane around City Hall that 1400 people signed a petition for (and which no one opposes). The arrogance is impressive. @dpearsonphl.bsky.social @meirrinde.bsky.social

There is exactly one way to rapidly cut pollution at scale, save money both at the govt and household level, and do it without federal help.

The best fastest thing to do on climate is to just make cities safer for walking and biking. That's it.

Every climate person should be working on this.
City Hall: Experts at King’s College London estimated that, from when the Mayor came into office in 2016, without additional action it would take 193 years for London to meet legal limits. It has been achieved in nine years.

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission publishes a tool that shows where sidewalks are missing: www.dvrpc.org/webmaps/side...

Embarrassingly Philadelphia's worst area is Fairmount Park which has many roads without any sidewalks.

Fairmount Park is one Philadelphia's most underused assets, because it's not designed to be safe or usable as a park.

Since 2019 41 people have been killed by crashes in the park.

@bikeaction.org is trying to fix that.
