Cambridge City Council voted to pilot the full pedestrianization of a section of Brattle Street in Harvard Square.
Noteworthy is the decision to forgo a $300,000+ study stating; "bringing in an outside group to tell us what we already know is not the best use of tax dollars."

Emptying a bin in the Netherlands. Having these large bins on residential streets ensures there is no "bin day", residents are free to put their rubbish out whenever they please, which leads to less litter in the street. A sensor tells the local authority when it's full, meaning fewer truck journeys

Would anyone build parking if it wasn’t legally mandated? I sort of think they would. So why do some people think arbitrary minimums are in the public interest?
Whenever someone testifies that their town needs parking, I want to ask, "Does your town need parking, or does your town need to mandate a minimum amount of parking whether the market demands it or not?"

Made up of a mix of single-family & multi-family buildings, Salem’s historic Chestnut Street dates back to the 1800s and sits in a protected historic district. Nearly every lot substantially violates current zoning.
