One good thing about snowstorms is that they remind us that streets could be so much nicer without cars.

The city that swapped parking for green space

Reminder that some US cities have teams clearing sidewalks -- not just roads -- when a major snowstorm strikes. Yours could, too.

More Cities Are Taking Responsibility for Clearing Sidewalks of Snow — Streetsblog USA
Rochester, Burlington, Minneapolis, Duluth and Syracuse have either started clearing sidewalks or are moving in that direction.

This was a lot of fun to work on, and (IMHO) the result is a fantastic set of chapters on regulatory responses to misinformation. (Also, it's open access!)

I know there are bigger problems but the ongoing invasion of NYC’s bike and footpaths by motorcycle and moped riders is a bummer. (The solution is to reduce the space allocated to cars.)
