#Urbanism+DailyQuote “Like many Americans, he judged the automobile a disruptive and fearsome technology. By the 1920s cars had claimed tens of thousands of human lives, frayed social contracts, and demoted pedestrians to second-class citizens.”

#Urbanism+DailyQuote From: The Growth Ponzi Scheme
#Urbanism+DailyQuote “Our problem was not, and is not, a lack of growth. Our problem is 60 years of unproductive growth -- growth that has buried us in financial liabilities. The American pattern of development does not create real wealth. It creates the illusion of wealth.” — Charles Marohn

#Urbanism+DailyWord Road Diet Reconfiguring a four-lane road to three lanes (one travel lane each way and a center turn lane) to make space for bike lanes, wider sidewalks, or pedestrian islands.
Two cross-section diagrams show street layouts: the top illustrates on-street parking with variable-width parking lanes on each side, 5–6 ft. wide bike lanes adjacent to both curbs, and travel lanes in the center; the bottom shows parking prohibited with 5–6 ft. wide bike lanes on both sides next to the curb and travel lanes in the center. Both diagrams indicate a normal solid white line separating the bike lane from the travel lanes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_diet

#Urbanism+DailyQuote “As long as we tell our urban ancestors' stories, no city is ever lost. They live on, in our imaginations and on our public lands, as a promise that no matter how terrible things get, humans always try again.”
