@jake pretty amazing that the traffic monitoring system to optimise traffic lights was developed in Sydney and exported to the world in the 1970s but it doesnβt count pedestrians so effectively they donβt count π¬. It needs a revamp.

Time to fuck this shit off. #Newcastle does not need another 5 years of dickheads in planet fucking noise makers destroying the city for everyone else for 3 months of summer. Go have your input now:

"Roads are basically the herpes of infrastructure investments" https://www.dearwinnipeg.com/2023/02/14/the-largest-mistake-of-our-generation/
great article and Australian local government budgets are no different (thinking of what Maddingley Park used to be like)

Moving to a future where city commuters swap their cars for bikes relies entirely on selling cycling as a safe method of getting from A to B.
Very few cities have this right.
If we want to reduce #GlobalWarming and have #LiveableCities we need to look at the way the Dutch and Danish have made cycling a key part of their mass transit solutions.

Our cities need urgently to stop thinking in terms of "complementarity" of transport modes, and start to HIERARCHIZE and PRIORITIZE them by favouring the most economical modes in terms of space, energy and pollution.

As an Texan living and working in the Netherlands for 3 decades now, I cannot recommend this YouTube channel. And I'm especially pleased to have just discovered them here on #Mastodon π

*BAM*. They're getting it done in #Zeeheldenkwartier The Hague.
Less space for parking, more space for walking, biking & Public Transport. And as an immigrant from Texas, I β€οΈ it.

Residents of cities globally share desire for less car dominance https://cyclingindustry.news/residents-of-cities-globally-share-desire-for-less-car-dominance/ Polling of residents in New York, Paris and London has found majority support for the idea that cities should no longer be car dominated spaces and that transport focal points should better address greater freedoms for pedestrians and cyclists

So, #introductions, I'm from #Newcastle #Australia, and I love/hate it here. But this ain't about me.
I want to track the good, the bad and the ugly shit happening in Newcastle/Moolabinba. I'm interested in #UrbanPlanning, #LiveableCities, #Politics, #Development and #Corruption - gimme those brown paper bags.
Also #CityLife (#LargeRuralCentreLife?), #Nature and poles. No sport unless I'm whinging about the supercars.
If you don't agree that the worst thing that happened in Newcastle in the last decade was the removal of The Penis, or you're from the #CentralCoast, you can GTFO.
Tip offs welcome!
