Here's another one!

I'm so thankful for what @spottnik.bsky.social and SDOT have accomplished in the past few years. As someone who bikes and walks, the city feels like a completely different place. My mom bikes around with me when she visits, she did not used to.

Greg, I wish you the best with whatever comes next!!

Randall Munroe... welcome to the The War on Cars? @xkcd.com @thewaroncars.bsky.social

These are both so good... Does anyone know of others?

If you speed *this* one up, the network that forms is fractal and kind of wild

You can also change where the points of interest are. Here they move around randomly.

It looks like a stable network forms right away. But if you speed things up, you'll actually see that parts of the network keep shifting and changing shape.

This is how a path network will develop in an unpaved park or across a college green. A handful of colleges let students form paths through the grass *before* deciding where to put the sidewalks down, so they ended up with these kind of organic networks.

This is a model of desire-path formation I'm working on for my dissertation. Walkers (blue) move between points of interest (orange). They erode the landscape as they go to slowly form trails, and they choose their paths to prefer staying on the trails.

eyes closed, tongue out

Fremont desperately needs a wider sidewalk here. People queue for bagels and pedestrians are forced into the tree planter because the sidewalk is *less than 3 feet wide*!!

Take out 2 parking spots, put outdoor seating in the road, the queue next to the building, and pedestrian walkway in the middle

It's wild that this paragraph from 1961 feels topical 60 years later (it's Jane Jacobs)

this particular corner on phinney ridge is my favorite spot to watch the sunset
