It’s magic

Concreteless pavement to ease access to utilities. What’s not to like? @jasonthorne.bsky.social @paulkuligto.bsky.social @dorsajalalian.bsky.social

Amen

... and improve green infrastructure performance by increased stormwater capacity by coupling swales. IF both sides of our streets are not equal in terms of environment - why treat them the same? More so along lengths of streets that are single loaded in terms of use.

This is super @dorsajalalian.bsky.social . In a rapidly warming world we need to be looking at streetscapes in terms of performance and comfort. Assymetrical sections could really improve shade and comfort to the exposed side of the streets (the north side of our streets in particular)...

.... in either different times of the day (for north-south streets) or times of the year (for east-west streets). I walked the length of Queen West to work everyday for two years and would walk the north side in the winter and the south in the summer.

Great point Paul. Per the example of Wellington from Dorsa I think either side of the street (where there is a double-loaded condition) should be provided for in a way to encourages foot traffic on both sides of the street. Naturally each side of a street has greater comfort.....
