Sorry Gary... no trans-Atlantic trips this spring but I will miss Providence. It was one of my first CNU years ago... a very eye opening experience.

I was struck by a comment made by Wernher Brucks of the City of Zürich's Safe Mobility Office. He says that the goal is to give the "pedestrians ownership of the streets". Crossing this intersection brings that idea to mind. A function of design also a function of legal rights and regulations.

The destruction of the LA's predominantly black Sugar Hill neighborhood by a freeway, poignantly told in the wonderful TV series "Lessons in Chemistry". Sugar Hill at the time of its demise was the most prestigious black neighborhood in LA. Labeled as blighted to push thru the freeway.
