DC needs pedestrianized spaces so damn bad.
If only Houston weren’t also actively removing bike lanes ://

One of these is not like the others

The same land that fits 67 homes in suburban Loudoun County houses 2,200 residents in Georgetown.

With Silver Line construction at $165M per mile, that means $139,372 per potential rider (left) versus just $1,279 (right).

Land use is major for transit success.

Montreal will continue the largest pedestrian street program in North America, committing $12mil to 9 pedestrian streets over 3-years.

Your post-inauguration counterprogramming:

At 16,335 pages, the Austin Light Rail environmental review document is 1,667 pages per mile of project. We need to DRASTICALLY cut this red tape if we want to build a lot of infrastructure in this country fast.

Montreal's summertime street pedestrianizations and other tactical street retrofits have been successful in part due to careful layout and design.

The City's Design Bureau has drawn on these experiences to compile this great guide for temporary on-street spaces.

In Washington, D.C., a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.

Pretty upsetting add campaign from Virginia DMV, implying that drivers have no responsibility to stop for people, and placing the onus on pedestrians to avoid being murdered, rather than on drivers to stop murdering
