On-road emissions, a dominant source of urban air pollution, damage human health. Emissions increase air pollution intake (and damage health) of travelers (internal costs), and of non-travelers (external costs). #pollution #transportation transportist.org/2020/09/11/int…

Parking is a temporary land use.
Wherever there is parking, the goal should be to eventually not have parking.
You give up parking when the land is so valuable, when the place is so desirable, that nobody would think of using it for parking.

Professional planners:
Create & enforce #landuse rules that make driving the only reasonable way to access jobs.
Also professional planners:
Conduct studies to understand why people keep driving to access jobs.

“The conventional landscape required mowing, trimming, mulching, water, replacement, over-seeding and fertilizing at an annual cost of $67,800. The annual cost for the prairie management, on the other hand, is a mere $14,250.”

" "Middle neighborhoods" offer the right balance of urban amenities and elbow room. The problem is that current zoning laws and other standards make it extremely challenging to build these neighborhoods." #missingmiddle bit.ly/2PPrJnl

"Now instead of writing 2000 words on the perceived problem, I am just going to list all the reasons why the perceived parking problem is just a bunch of bull**** and hopefully save you all countless hours of arguing about it." bit.ly/3k5lvO9

The DOT is destroying buildings & adding lanes to make it a “Complete Street”
It’s 2020 and @MnDOT is still in the 1950s. Embarrassing.

You won't see people fighting to save buildings from the '70s-'00s like we do to preserve historic beauties from the 1800s. If we want to build resilient cities, we need to build lovable buildings. bit.ly/3foDkEt

Twitter urbanism friends: Council is trying to require a connectivity index, my councilman says culdesacs are the most efficient use of land, are safer and more sociable and so voted against the index. Gimme your best articles to educate him...

Chicago is already primed for this! I’ve long thought that the alleyways in the Loop, for example, were well-suited for more small-scale retail like this. Would make the Loop less chainstore-heavy, and give small entrepreneurs access to a major customer stream.
Ashley Salvador@AshleyASalvador
There's a dearth of small scale retail space available in most N.A. cities. Humans are wired to like cozy, fine-grained urbanism, like these cafes in Japan. It feels good, AND it makes financial sense. Many small business, can't afford super sized retail bays. More of this >
