Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.
In fact, it was 4%.
And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.
Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Yesterday was a beauty of a day and I grabbed a shot on Brooklyn's McGuinness Blvd nearing Driggs that shows just how much safer & saner that junction is now. Transformative stuff. @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org @bfurnas.bsky.social

If you don’t have a large budget or time or access to concrete to make an intersection safer, you can achieve some fairly good results by using paint, plastic sticks, tougher solid curbs and slabs of rock.
