This short piece about Superillas says that people love them. Even if there was a lot of opposition when they were first implemented, ten years later folks like them. beteve.cat/societat/10-...

La superilla del Poblenou fa 10 anys. Conductors i transportistes han fet moltes crítiques, però amb el temps ha tingut també molt acceptació veïnal.

If they had these in Barcelona all the tickets would be issued to motorcycles and scooters. Si tinguessin aquestes a Barcelona, ​​totes les multes es farien per a motocicletes i escúters.

Barcelona should recover Tres Ulls, and make it the center of a new park. It's still there, but it was buried long ago. Barcelona hauria de recuperar els Tres Ulls i convertir-los en el centre d'un nou parc. Encara hi és, però va ser enterrat fa molt de temps.

I'm taking a long flight to BC next week. The news is that there are a hundred wildfires burning there. The planet can't take any more GHGs. This will be my last flight until they invent zero-emissions planes. From now on I'll only go to places I can get to by train. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Autobesity There should be a sales tax and annual registration fee tied directly to the size of the vehicle. There should also be minimum requirements for visibility from the drivers seat. spectator.com/article/the-...

The rise of 'autobesity'
Nobody has ever browsed garage forecourts, tape-measure in hand, trying to buy the biggest vehicle to occupy the most road space. Is this enlargement epidemic really the consumer's fault?

I just visited Toledo for the first time. It's an amazing place! Beautiful and historic! But for some reason they let cars roam all over it and park everywhere. You literally have to flee into door openings to get out of their way.

In the US there's a real need for advocates to push for smaller, more nimble emergency vehicles. Fire department access requirements have made the streets wide, fast and dangerous. They've vetoed many proposed bike lanes and traffic calming efforts. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/26/f...

This is a small part of the works for the new La Sagrera multimodal station. To the left is the train station, to the right is the metro, and the big hole in the middle is the main entry. Aquesta és una petita part de les obres de la nova estació multimodal de La Sagrera. #urbanism #barcelona

Hidden gem in my workaday BCN neighborhood: Plaça de Masadas. Every evening the center of the plaza is filled with children running wild while their parents imbibe at the cafes that line the surrounding arcade. Joia amagada al meu barri de BCN habitual: Plaça de Masadas. #ubanism #barcelona

New park in my hood that is important for two reasons: It provides new landscaping around a 1000-year-old farmhouse (Torre del Fang, seen covered in graffiti), and it's the first little bit of what will eventually be a 2.5 mile long park extending to the Besòs river. beteve.cat/societat/est...

They've just planted some pretty huge trees at the new park that's going in 'round the corner. Their trunks look to be about 24" diameter. To the left is a thousand-year-old farm house (Torre del Fang) and background is a garden folly by Calatrava.
