I wonder how long these special edition LA Metro maps will stay up. Also, can I have one when they‘re taken down?

We filled an entire parklet!
They say no one supports more bike lanes...but then a bunch of urbanists meet and use every outdoor chair at a restaurant and there's still not enough.
Way to go, Strong Towns Santa Barbara!

Ok, can someone explain this?
The sign said the next train to NoHo was in 16 minutes, but it pulled in 6 minutes after I took that picture. As the train pulled in, the other sign said the next train was in 8 minutes—even though it was right there!

W need protected lanes, people!
A new study found that if every city expanded its bike lane network and redesigned streets to match Copenhagen, global walking and biking rates would increase by 412 billion miles per year — reducing emissions from private cars by 6%.

Interesting that the LA curfew map lines up with the freeway donut that surrounds downtown. Maybe there should be an actual city with residents inside that space instead of office buildings, warehouses, and 30% of land as parking lots.

Went on a tour of where the Freeway was torn down in Downtown Providence. 15 years later, most of the land has been filled in with offices, housing, a Trader Joe’s, and restaurants. The riverfront park is thriving.
Let’s do more freeway removals!
