You may have thought we had learned some lessons about building mega highways through communities back in the 20th century, but...Megan Kimble's fantastic new book sheds light on the mistakes we are still making, and the fight to stop them.

New episode! "The Texas Freeway Fight with Megan Kimble." In her new book, Kimble tells the stories of the communities in the path of TxDOT’s bulldozers and the brave Texans fighting to save their homes, neighborhoods, and cities from a seemingly implacable foe. thewaroncars.org/2024/04/02/1...

Our friend, Councilor Michael Janz wearing a The War on Cars “toque” on CTV Edmonton is the best thing we’ve seen. That’s some real political courage right there.

"Sneckdown" has been added to the Urbanism+ feed. You're up Wikipedia: "A sneckdown (or snowy neckdown) is a temporary curb extension caused by snowfall, where snow has built up in the road but not been flattened by traffic, effectively reshaping the curb." Term courtesy of @naparstek.bsky.social
Ariel view of an intersection, with areas of the street organically plowed by cars and snowy areas revealing the areas cars don't need. The snow creates new boundaries for the curb, a "sneckdown" if you will. Text is overlayed on the image that imagines what the new areas could be, like a bike lane, public plaza, pedestrian refuge

A cost-effective, tough, scaleable, inadvertently-eco-friendly, urban car commuting alternative is in use today: the “delivery guy electric bike.”

NEW EPISODE: The Future of Transportation Has Arrived With Your Pad Thai. What if there is a high-tech urban mobility revolution happening right under our noses, but we can’t see it because the people who are delivering it to our city are mostly invisible to us? thewaroncars.org/2024/01/16/t...

This episode, reported and produced by @naparstek.bsky.social, is so much fun. A real love letter to the endless ingenuity and generosity of New York City...that dreamy old concrete jungle.

Congestion pricing is coming to NYC and Diana Lind of the Penn Institute for Urban Research believes it's a paradigm-shifting moment. “The next 20 years,” she writes, “will be the beginning of the end of the private car in cities.” We discuss in the new episode: thewaroncars.org/2023/09/19/1...

"I understand why driving is the default. Most American adults hop in the car to go to work anyway, and figure they can swing by the school. But the more parents who choose this option, the worse it works."

my first act as president would be to make pedestrians and cyclists have priority and all cars have to stop immediately or face impoundment. repeat violators will have their car destroyed in a public spectacle like in street fighter II #walkable

"Make Love Not Cars" sticker spotting.
Square purple sticker with orange heart with the words "Make Love Not Cars" in it. Stuck on a lamppost with other stickers on a city street.

An enormous fan of Veronica Davis & her work. DC's loss was Houston's gain, for sure.

Really good episode. I’m not much of a biker, but I listened to this ep while out for a walk in Brooklyn this evening, and as I was walking I couldn’t help but notice just how many of these moped-like devices were in the bike lanes all around my residential neighborhood at 11 pm on a weeknight

New BONUS episode: "Chaos in the Bike Lane with Aaron Gordon." There's been a growing problem of motorcycles and mopeds in bike lanes, but the solutions are complicated. What can be done? Subscribe for access. thewaroncars.org/2023/08/08/teaser-…
Sign reading "NO MOTOR VEHICLES" with red circle with line through it over an image of a moped. Next to it a moped is in a green bike lane on a New York City street.

There’s only one example in the article of people using e-bikes irresponsibly. Every other incident involves auto drivers not knowing how to share the road safely (and probably, though this isn’t mentioned, infrastructure that’s not safe for bikers). This is not about “the risks of e-bikes”

Perfect sticker placement.
