Making public transit free can be a popular and highly symbolic action, but I’ve been on the record for quite a while saying that it should be compared with the projected/expected effects of spending the same amount of public money on increasing frequency and other elements of improved service. 1/

Como passamos a fazer política com base nas percepções, os factos deixaram de ter importância na ficção em que passamos a viver. A partir de agora, vence a distopia. Estamos todos de parabéns.

Na altura fizeram-se promessas sobre como tudo ia ser diferente, o tanto que se tinha aprendido a fazer das cidades em primeiro lugar, para as pessoas. Quatro anos depois, esqueceu-se tudo. Voltam os carros.
Dining sheds helped keep New York City restaurants afloat during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic. To some urbanists, they were a bold experiment in rethinking public space. To others, they were an eyesore. Now, new city rules are forcing their removal. nyti.ms/495r60U

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse, & then make it much worse with bad design.

I was living in Sevilla when this happened. There was no biking culture (nor in Sevilla neither in Spain) & this was seen as a vanity project. The bike lanes and public bikes (Sevici) were IMMEDIATELY embraced and became a sign of identity of the city. A rare example of top-down urbanism that worked
Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €.
Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day.
Leadership.
