Explaining urban planning, one video at a time.
Reposted by Chase Hales - Urban Planning Explained
This video is of an adult entering a marked crosswalk in broad daylight. They are almost impossible to see. It's time for street design that prioritizes the lives of people over the storage of things. Daylighting makes roads safer for all road users, including drivers. 🏅
Can you spot this pedestrian? 👀

When cars are parked right next to the intersection, drivers can't see people crossing the street. This is a dangerous — even deadly — problem.

The good news is we can fix this, with Councilmember Julie Won's Universal Daylighting bill, Intro 1138!

I personally wouldn’t put garden cities in the category of suburbs. They were just the earliest attempts at planning out cities (although I may be misremembering their intent). The concept of suburbs was really a post-war thing with Levittown etc., which is naturally very car-dependent
