It’s the Autumn Equinox, and the official start of Autumn. Dusk yesterday at the Stanton Drew Stone Circles.

It’s the point where day and night are of equal length, and the point at which we start to notice our landscape shift dramatically.

It is 2025, and business lobby groups are finally realising that foot (pedal) traffic leads to more business than car parking on the main/high street
It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Bike-lanes mean business.

“Toderian, Vancouver’s former planning chief, has identified a 3-part formula for child-friendly downtowns.”

“Housing is most critical: Without [2 & 3-bedroom apartments], it’s ‘game-over’ for families in downtowns, he says.”

Downtowns need “new crowds,” aka more people, via Bloomberg.
Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds
Traditional business districts in cities like Chicago and Portland are still waiting for office workers to return. Can younger residents and families fill the gap?

I need a badge for blackberry picking and sloes that sit in the freezer waiting to make gin one day
I don't want to romanticise the rural past, but every year I spend the months of August to October shaking down every hedgerow I can find and no-one ever gives me a badge!

It will soon be easier to transform empty shops and fast-track outdoor dining, with less red tape for high streets.

Across the West, we have so much to enjoy. These national changes can unlock even more – and finally protect music venues: tinyurl.com/WestHighStreets
