I love that just as I started listening to this, I passed a Cybertruck on the back of a tow truck. Just perfect timing.

in some sense the origin story of my city as it currently exists is a freeway revolt, the first successful one in the US. that people are still having to fight these fights sixty years later is so f'in' grim.
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.

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.

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."

"Should SUV Ads Be Banned?"
Adfree Cities, a UK advocacy group, successfully got a Toyota Hilux SUV ad that shows drivers ripping through natural areas and cities taken off the airwaves and streets.

if u do not know steven johnson he has written several books but my favorite is still the one where he deconstructs the gameplay of a quest in legend of zelda ocarina of time
If 100 years ago we knew that the automobile would decimate our city centers, melt the ice caps, and kill 40,000+ Americans annually, would we have still wanted the automobile? Episode 112 is about "Unintended Consequences with author Steven Johnson." thewaroncars.org/2023/10/10/1...
