#ConseilCommunal #Ixelles hier: j'ai interrogé sur le gros chantier dans l'îlot Washington-Hector Denis: un “je-m’en foutisme” choquant par l’entrepreneur. Des “briques volantes" avec dégâts sur façades. Il faut d’urgence plus grande vigilance par la Commune & des constats du non-respect des règles.

#Ixelles L'av. Legrand est en très mauvais état
C'est une voirie locale, partagée entre 3 communes, coincée entre deux voiries régionales et où la STIB est compétente pour l'espace entre les voies de tram. Bref, c'est compliqué, ridicule et ingérable
Ecolo propose une motion pour la régionaliser

New study from IIHS shows that car bloat is dangerous even at low speeds:
If hit by a sedan going 27 mph, a pedestrian has a 60% chance of a moderate+ injury and 30% chance of a serious one.
If it's a pickup going 27 mph, those odds rise to 83% and 63%, respectively.

Inclusive transport requires an empathetic approach; recognising users' varying needs dependent on age, gender, ability and income.
Planners often neglect these groups and outcomes—particularly in relation to the 'invisible' social, health and mental well-being.
