Exactly 9 years ago today - May 6 2016 - the East-West and North-South Cycle Superhighways opened in London. Wide, Dutch style cycling infrastructure right across Central London, including over the river. A game changer for the city

I do tend to bang on a out this, I know, but - Heathrow has an enormous area on which solar PV could be installed - shelter over surface car parks, dead space separating the runways etc - which could make it close to self-sufficient in electricity. Perhaps exploding substations wouldn’t matter then.

If I understand correctly, it is currently being resurfaced and some restrictions apply meanwhile, but it will reopen fully for pedestrians and cyclists, and not for motors - there are no plans for the foreseeable future to spend the necessary money to do that.

For the first time, the Norwegian government has calculated the value to society of the health benefits of increased walking and cycling.

Samfunnet tjener mye på at folk går og sykler!
Nye tall fra Helsedirektoratet viser at vi sparer:
🚲 33 kr for hver km folk sykler
🚶♀️ 49 kr for hver km folk går
Det er sammenlignet med at folk ikke er i fysisk aktivitet, f.eks. om de kjører bil.

Removing capacity for motor traffic has cut traffic in West London.
Now we can see (again) what increasing capacity will do in East and South East London, when Silvertown opens next month.

Thought experiment. Most towns have more places for cars to stop for free than for people to stop for free.
Maybe we should count the number of "people" spaces, and never off more car spaces than that?
