Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.

When people say things like "what about disabled people?" or "do you expect people to bike to the hospital?" as an argument against building better bike infrastructure, I always think of this particular member of the Chicago biking community. Glad to see her story featured today. 💖
“I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in March, and I was unsure how biking would fit into it, because chemotherapy can take a lot out of you energy-wise. And what I found was that I really wanted to get back on the bike.” 🧵

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving.

After years of arm-twisting, I am super excited that the State of Washington is one step closer to ending its Woonerf Ban. (Watch this space as the next legislative session convenes in January).

All those books about the declines and falls of empires that I never read.... do they cover how dumb things were? I was unprepared for how dumb things were going to get.
