Streets are for people ✌️ always here for biking, birding, and building a more just future for our kids 🚲🪶🌱 SF now, BKLYN forever
“In short, culling cars has been far more popular than her petrolhead critics predicted, with Paris becoming cleaner and healthier to boot.”

READ: “3,337 Parisians were equipped with GPS trackers to record their journeys…for journeys from the outskirts of Paris to the center, the number of cyclists now far exceeds the number of motorists, a huge change from just 5 years ago.”

Evidence of leadership.

Also this excellent observation (because sometimes people think it's all up to the federal government).
The path to avoiding the worst of climate change runs through state senates and city councils, public utilities commissions and planning bodies, co-op boards and HOAs and PTAs and neighborhood associations. Remember the physics definition of power: it’s work over time.

HUGE NEWS FROM the legal team at Steve Vaccaro Law, they just went to court and defended NYC leading pedestrian interval (LPI) law.
