How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets
Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

Launceston city council has just stopped funding the free tiger bus. This was a fantastic public service that served both tourists and locals well.
Shame on the council for removing good public services, instead propping up car use! Long live PT!

“Iowa City eliminated bus fares in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions… The two-year pilot program proved so popular that the City Council voted this summer to extend it another year, paying for it with a 1% increase in utility taxes and by doubling most public parking rates to $2 from $1”
Iowa City Made Its Buses Free. Traffic Cleared, and So Did the Air.

Why do liveable cities lists not include Wuhan, Beijing or Shanghai? Chinese cities have a unique cultural attribute in their policies designed to build community, welcome visitors to live and work. #auspol #liveablecities
Liveable cities of China
No Chinese city appears on the annual lists of the most liveable cities in the world. Is this due to ignorance or to a pervasive anti-China bias?

The Dutch have been studying bio-resilient cities for the past decade, protect existing trees in paving projects (often taking car lanes to give #trees more room to grow), and have added 1000s of new trees when improving bike lanes.
The result in Utrecht is a cooler, more beautiful city to bike in.

There are so many cities in the United States that could do this!
Largely what is lacking is the will to provide safe infrastructure for bicyclists and pedestrians.
I lost one daughter, Robyn, and nearly the other, Rachel, three weeks later, both while they were bicycling.

USDOT just published a Climate Strategies that Work Playbook. Looks pretty good.
Topics covered include road pricing, parking reform, and transit system integration. For each one, USDOT summarizes research findings and suggests federal funding opportunities.

Research shows that being routinely exposed to loud traffic noises, as many Canadians are on a daily basis, can have harmful long-term health effects beyond just our hearing.

Green streets are everywhere in Paris, not just in the centre. This is the town hall in the suburb of Saint-Ouen. Asphalt and concrete replaced by rain gardens. You could repeat this in every city and town in North America.
