Those yellow bumps are designed to help people with visual impairments cross safely. But when they're cracked and uneven, the feature meant to improve accessibility becomes another obstacle. #Accessibility #WalkableCommunities #Infrastructure

#UrbanFact for today: ROR (residential over retail) blocks are intentionally mixed-use so people can grab coffee, meds, or dinner without leaving the neighborhood. It's a design pattern that dates back to historic main streets.

A neighborhood you can live in, not just drive through - where everyday essentials are right under your home.🥖💐📚

33 states have passed reforms to allow increased density in zones once reserved for single-familyhomes only. Many communities have re-legalized mixed-use development as well, seeking to blend housing with shops/restaurants in walking distance. #walkablecommunities #15minutecities

Streets shape how a neighborhood lives. In Woodlawn, 1st Avenue South once felt like a barrier. Fast traffic, stressful crossings, and limited access made daily movement difficult for residents.

Better Birmingham works to create communities where every person can walk, roll, bike, or ride safely, and where daily life is supported by thoughtful design, abundant housing, strong public transit, and welcoming public spaces.

Inclusive design is not a specialty topic. It is a foundation for any city that wants to give its residents real freedom of movement.

Strong communities start with simple things. A corner grocery. A neighborhood restaurant. A place to wash your clothes without driving across town.

I see these two friends out and about almost every morning when I get the dogs out.

They are always laughing and enthusiastically say good morning.
