First time in ages I've been on the bike paths in central #Copenhagen at morning rush hour.

Man, it's busy out there.

I think we need to build some more lanes...

About 40 years in the planning and now a bike ramp onto the Harbour Bridge going to happen next year. Might be a bit steep as they say #ebikes and #cargobikes will like it.

I have this project I call "Children in the city" where I take photos of random things destroyed by cars, and one day...

One day, I will find some way of inserting semi-transparent images of children on top of them.

I don't know how yet, but I'll find a way. #WarOnCars #City #Cars #livablecities

Finally canopy cover is a factor in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and McMansion size is limited by it. I wonder how this will go is the Western Suburbs of Sydney. The developers would be ropable!

Riding to the @EU_Commission for the 2nd day of the #DigitalOcean forum.
It strikes me that if I lived in #Brussels I would be lobbying *VERY* hard to have Rue de la Loi leading through the #EU quarter closed to traffic and set aside for cyclists and pedestrians.

This should be an iconic view, imagine trees, bikes and people strolling instead of traffic + air pollution..

It is (beyond) time to devote more of our public spaces for active transport and public transport.

After @jburnmurdoch's eye-opening article on the role of #Traffic in the USA's life expectancy decline, this thread from @HeavenlyPossum on the way private cars and jaywalking have captured the streets is really worth your time.

Not exactly an example of affordable housing, but an important example of large scale adaptive reuse: commercial => residential. 566 new housing units. The largest building in New York City to undergo this type of conversion. More of this, please. #AdaptiveReuse #LivableCities #Architecture

Beautiful and thoughtful video about #solarpunk #cities and #urbanplanning by #Andrewism on YouTube - which is worth a watch for anyone who cares about the #ClimateEmergency and #LivableCities

“Congratulations to everyone who had “emergence of an urban-planning alt-right conspiracy theory” on their 2023 bingo card.”

@tgent_fens @transport Including visuals like a cartoon (with #AltText) or relevant picture (ditto with #AltText image description) help with pickup too.

People-centered transportation advocate @streetsmn on the redesign of historic Summit Avenue in St. Paul.

https://streets.mn/2023/02/21/ten-reasons-to-love-the-summit-avenue-draft-plan/

Does the plan go too far for bikes? Author correctly observes that this avenue existed before cars, so to be true to historic nature of Summit Ave, ban cars & restore the bike trail that was established in 1890. #MNastodon #cycleInfrastructure #banCars #PeopleBeforeCars #LivableCities

Yep, bucking the system to create a more liveable world is surely a crime!
