Thanks so much to you John and colleagues for a brilliant tour of the Royal Docks Corridor. This scheme is vital for not just people in Newham but also has big lessons on how to tame main roads and make them much safer, greener and more pleasant places.
Fantastic to show @livingstreets.bsky.social around the Royal Docks Corridor today!
The improvements are already making a difference — safer crossings, greener streets, and better spaces for people.
It’s exciting to see how the corridor is becoming a welcoming, people-first route. 🌳🚶♀️🚲

Cars account for just 4.3% of journeys in Paris. So motorists may be 'living in fear' (although that sounds unlikely) but the vast majority of Parisians, far from seeing red, are pretty happy with expanded space for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users
Paris sees red as mayor drives cars off the road
Motorists in the French capital live in fear of the tow truck and sky-high parking fines

London has reached a watershed moment in its long-running battle with air pollution: for the first time in decades, evidence suggests that all Londoners are now breathing cleaner air, thanks largely to the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

Pedestrianizing a main street spine in central Reykjavík was controversial with businesses when it was first done, so they made it a summer pilot. They kept it that way, a pilot, for over a decade, and then went ahead and made it year-round and permanent. No big deal. No controversy. People like it.

NEW: 1km of Montreal’s Ste-Catherine Street will become permanently “pedestrian only” (less than perfect term since it will be a people-place for a LOT more than walking). 225+ new trees, vegetation-covered pits for rain drainage, more seating, illuminated canopy, financial help for businesses, etc.
Stretch of Ste-Catherine Street East to become pedestrian-only year-round | CBC News
The City of Montreal announced Friday their "ambitious" plans to transform a portion of Ste-Catherine Street East into a pedestrian road year-round, with redevelopment work starting in fall 2026.
