Everything you see here, including the finished houses, used to be an urban golf course. It's now being fully redeveloped into residential, commercial, and public space.

This is a small snow plow for sidewalks
If your city plows the roads but leaves sidewalks up to property owners, your city hates pedestrians.

OakDOT had prepared a safety project for this intersection years ago that matched the design from further north on Lakeside, but Fire Department forced a redesign to keep as a multi-lane road
If the project had not been redesigned and delayed then it is possible our neighbor would be alive today

To all the people in eastern North America in the path of this snowstorm:
You can and should expect your city to plow sidewalks (and bike lanes) like they do for roads.
The technology exists, many cities do it (including Montreal & Ottawa). Choosing not to is a middle finger to pedestrians.

Given how many reports I've filed recently about the city not clearing bike lanes and city-responsibility sidewalks, I'm wondering if I should send #a2council an invoice.

How Portland made housing more affordable #A2Council
"In 2020, [Portland, OR] approved building [middle housing] on lots zoned for single family homes... A new report from the City says, it's working. 1,400 new units built in just a few years and each one is $300,000 less expensive than a typical single family home." @nbcnews.com

Stop telling pedestrians and cyclists what to do to stay safe and just force drivers not to be dangerous by design.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?
