Before (2017) / After (2025) the school street Rue Pierre Foncin in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. The street was closed to cars in 2020 and transformed during 2021.

I really cannot overstate how fantastic biking in the AM is for my small person.
After the “get dressed” and “eat your breakfast” and “OMG put your shoes ON” struggles she gets to hop on her bike, take control, and move her body.
She walks into the classroom feeling like a million bucks.

This #pavementparking across from a school forced me into the carriageway this morning. The driver shouted to tell me that it was only for a few minutes while they dropped off their kid. Well, I also have a kid, and this endangers lots of people.

School streets are awesome because with relatively little $ we can create a VERY different experience of safety, comfort & community.
Removing cars from a single block creates an environment so much better than our usual chaotic, noisy, rushed & unsafe drop off/pick up routine.

Transformation of Rue Chaptal is almost complete, I visited today to check on its progress. 4 years ago to today; from cars to kids playing & running freely on a Sunday afternoon. Streets are for people

Rue Buffault, one of many "school streets" in Paris, is closed to car & truck thru-traffic with movable metal barricades. A cargobike can quickly navigate around the barriers, a perfect urban delivery system for closed streets.

Vancouver is joining Montreal, Paris, and other cities with #SchoolStreets programs.
My daughters school had a 4 week pilot program in 2023 which has slowly expanded. Now there is consultation to make it a permanent in 2027 (link to the survey below).

Scenes from a (Quiet) Revolution.
For the last two weeks, the street between two elementary schools in #Montreal have been closed to cars.
My son goes to one of them. The drop-off and pick-up, which used to be dangerous and stressful, has become a real pleasure.
Take a look:

New Research! This summer I went to 272 'School Streets' in Paris, generating a comprehensive picture of this massive street-pedestrianization program. I cataloged amenities, tracked their development over time, and carried a thermal camera 📸

What is *wrong* with people? I hope this person feels the the full force of the law #SchoolStreets
While the protest was underway, Thames Valley Police issued several tickets to offenders – including one motorist who, when seeing the children wave their signs at him while he was parking on double yellows, mounted the pavement and drove towards them.

As the schools go back, the additional traffic from the school run will be obvious. For a substantial proportion, especially primary, the distance to school is less than a mile so walking, wheeling or cycling would be feasible if it felt safer to do so #SchoolStreets @solveschoolrun.bsky.social
The more kids are invited to bike, walk and take public transit to school, the safer, healthier and smarter it is for EVERYONE. It’s shocking how much vehicle congestion in cities is actually “driven” by trips to and from schools. #BackToSchool #LetKidsBike #LetKidsWalk cartoon by Yehuda Moon

All the evidence is that #ActiveTravel interventions, whether #SchoolStreets, safe infrastructure or #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods have significant public health benefits.
But so often they seem to be siloed as a “Highways” measure @triciaayr.bsky.social

I can only talk anecdotally, but having a a commute that could be walked or cycled made a huge difference to my physical and mental health.
Local authorities *must* involve their public health teams when making transport decisions.
