“Town planning is defined as the art of creating an environment needed to produce and maintain human values—and the harmonising of public and private needs so one shall not be sacrificed to the other. If any urban activity can be said to have approached that ideal, it was the making of Dutch towns.”

“By focusing on mostly arterial streets and closing key network connection gaps” when building new bike lanes, Boston was able to increase both “the number of people biking, and the percentage of all traffic they make up.” The number of bikes counted on the network went up by 55%.
The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.

I do have sympathy for people living next to loud and disruptive construction projects, but…. sometimes these stories read to me like “urban resident surprised to learn they do in fact live in a city.”

Lots of people on Reddit were in disbelief about all the positive REM videos, thinking it was a CDPQ conspiracy.
No, people really do like transit that much. You just don’t follow it when it happens in other cities.
And on top of that, the REM really is a particularly exciting project!

thinking about how newfoundland’s rail network was dismantled instead of aligning it with the rest of canada 😢
#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.
The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).
