One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

The New Earswick Snakes are back! The Bootham Stray Sausages have returned! More tectonic activity on the Rowntree/Clifton plate boundary has squashed up the filler put in the summer cracks to form perilous extrusions. Take care folks. Authorities have been informed.

You can read the unprecedented joint statement signed by 12 metro mayors to create a 3,500 mile national active travel network here 👇👇👇

A picture of the statement signed by Metro Mayors Tracy Brabin, Paul Bristow, Andy Burnham, Luke Campbell, Oliver Coppard, Helen Godwin, Kim McGuinness, Richard Parker, Steve Rotherham, David Skaith and Claire Ward. It also includes supportive signatures from Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, National Active Travel Commissioner Chris Boardman, and Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan.

The statement reads:

We, the Mayors of England’s Combined Authorities, will work together to improve our streets for everyone, for the benefit of the health, wellbeing and connectedness of our communities. This commitment to walking, wheeling and cycling, with a first focus on the school run, will help get 20 million people more active daily and create more than 3,500 miles of safer routes connecting schools with local neighbourhoods, high streets and transport hubs. We are doing this as part of wider plans to fully integrate our transport networks, to deliver new housing and to further cement local economic growth. We commit to:
- Work with the Department for Transport, Active Travel England and our local authorities to create a country-wide national walking, wheeling and cycling network, comprising of local networks that are safe and easy to use. This will give millions of people across England the choice to use high quality, safe routes in their communities.
- Transform the school run by delivering high-quality, safer routes in neighbourhoods nationwide.

- Deliver region-wide integrated transport networks by giving people easy walking, wheeling and cycling access to buses, trams and trains which will in turn help deliver new housing and support local economic growth.

Together, we can transform our regions and deliver increased transport choice, sustainable public transport, boost local economies and give our younger generation access to opportunity.
