#depave
can't wait to depave 80% of it.
Seattle’s new waterfront park is 50% car space.

that's right.

depave street parking, plant trees
Seattle could meet its 30% tree canopy goal much quicker by converting a quarter of its 500,000 on-street parking spaces. The paving-to-planting conversion would convey many benefits, cooling neighborhoods and absorbing runoff.

It's time to depave most of DLSD.
It’s time for a bus lane on Lakeshore Drive

Broke: I-5
Woke: Lid I-5
Woke 2: Depave I-5 and fill with a linear park and tens of thousands of housing units
There seem to be two classes of response. Either a very simplistic "just cap it" or "Ray just hates cars. Here's my reasons why he's wrong (1/13433)".

Check out today’s volunteer depave for a subsistence community garden at the bike works community hub in east Portland 🧵

📸 That’s garden coordinator Corey Pierson giving his food forest vision to the crew, pre-depave stretching, and a depave demo from our volunteer crew leaders to kick off the day

Depave is such a cool org
Depave volunteers put on a Community Care Day at Kelly Elementary yesterday, weeding & adding mulch in places we’ve depaved in past years. Kelly, where up to 29 languages are spoken, is in our new Care Corp pilot, where we engage neighbors, workforce devt, &other orgs in longterm greenspace care

I would like to depave the street in front of my house to plant a tree but the tree people in my neighborhood oppose that

To fix the loneliness epidemic we must depave the Kennedy, Eisenhower, and Dan Ryan
🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2408937122

Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

This is my new job! I'm so excited!

she's not wrong. luckily there is a ton of asphalt on queen anne that we can depave to turn into parks, make our streets safer, and mitigate the heat island effect. 😎
More angry questions interrupting the presentation. “If they’re going to give us more density, they need to give us more parks.”

manhattan is ready for a glow up

pedestrianize those streets!

depave for trees and blue-green infrastructure to mitigate deluges and the urban heat island effect!
More congestion pricing glamour shots

Remarkable

Depave Lake Shore Drive and the other urban highways and unleash their full real estate earning power.
It’s no surprise that folks are coming to visit the Best Big City in the nation.

Another reason to depave Lake Shore Drive. The real estate between downtown and the beach is Chicago's most valuable real estate, currently being wasted on the auto industry.
There are approximately one million people enjoying Chicago’s 26 miles of shoreline today #facts

What a drain on an otherwise nice place

I think we should depave Lawrence and have the brown line run to Jefferson Park blue line.

Depave Springfield!

Portland, do you feel any lighter? Because today we lost about 40,000 lbs of asphalt, thanks to Portland Clean Energy Fund's student climate projects!

Laurelhurst students used prybars, hard work, and teamwork to depave the way for new trees to shade their south-facing classrooms 🌳
