"His SF studies revealed the hidden harms of cars and a simple but then radical truth: the more fast-moving traffic on a street, the less life happened—fewer friendships, weaker ties to neighbors, less sense of the street as shared, home territory rather than just a conduit for cars." - Appleyard's son, Bruce, @DocAppleyard own words.

Congestion pricing is improving life for people who drive in & out of Manhattan. It's also improving life for everyone else.
Agreed! I interviewed some of the change makers and featured some of the components of this transformation in Livable Streets 2.0.

"Bikes are good for business" case studies aren't new. NYC was an early adopter of protected bike lanes and started tracking the outcomes right away.
After 8th & 9th Avenue projects were complete, locally-based businesses saw retail sales soar.
Bike are good for business!

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.
