CityBeautiful recently released a great video about how to fix stroads.

It's accurate, and lines up exactly with the advocacy that my wife and I were doing 10 years ago, right down to using StreetMix to redesign streets.

It's also extremely depressing and makes me glad that I don't live in North America anymore.

It was a bad case by Australian Gov, but the fact they felt the need to do it, doesn't leave Twitter looking good either.
Twitter has turned into exactly what we knew it would do under Elon. It's become a tinpot dictatorship where nobody knows what free speech is and isn't allowed and what it is left up to the whims of its CEO.

My first video from my trip to Japan is now up on Patreon and Nebula.

I visited the world's busiest train station, Shinjuku station in Tokyo. This station transports 3 MILLION people every day!

Shinjuku station is really interesting because it isn’t just a ridiculously efficient transportation hub, it’s also an excellent example of how an effective train station can make the surrounding neighbourhood truly great.

The bottom line is pretty much every place is different, so there is no single way. You just have to start asking around. What you might want to do is if find other like-minded people locally. See if there is a Srong Towns movement or Safe Streets group in your city.
