In the U.S. we talk about creating "3rd Places" where people can hang out outside of work or home. Unfortunately, most of these places are private and involve buying over priced food.
Barcelona's entire urban fabric is made up of 3rd Places, however. The private ones have affordable food and are open late. And the public ones are being carved out of spaces throughout the entire city.
Barcelona seems far more socially healthy than most U.S. cities.

@AndrewDLewis We need to emphasize that parking isn't necessary for a project like this.

Every restaurant, coffee shop, market, etc was bursting with customers. Bikes are good for business, for community, for physical and mental health, for the planet. ❤️ @CicLAvia

@Leslie_Ridings MOVE Culver City report specifically studied first responder times and found zero delay in response times during the study period.

Never seen a bike or bus-lane block first-responders but watch cars do it all the time.
Firefighters are Heros, but their union is wrong on this one. More options for Angelenos = less folks in cars = less congestion + open bike/bus lanes = no impact on response times. 🚑💨

@clmarohn @blake_pagenkopf @AleRigolon Though it should be recognized that the biggest influence on road damage is vehicle weight, contributing to higher maintenance costs.

@blake_pagenkopf @AleRigolon Road design is the umbrella that addresses both, and doesn't bog us down in an easily coopted War on Cars (and drivers).

In 1888, "Black Edison" Granville T. Woods, who also invented the 3rd rail and electronic train signaling, patented a system to electric trains to overhead wires that was adopted by railroads around the US. Zero emissions rail has a long history! #BlackHistoryMonth

@Nerd4Cities Only if it’s part of another metro freeway widening.

Informal poll: do @metrolosangeles all-door boarding TAP card readers work for you? I @JoeLinton ride the Vermont bus a couple times a week and it seems like lately ~3/4 of these are dead.

With the great shakeout coming up, it's a good time to remind Burbankers that we have an AMAZING CERT program here in our city, probably the best in the LA region. burbankcert.org

@mottsmith @metrolosangeles Fair enough.

@LCI_Burbank @metrolosangeles I'm actually a big fan of ads on the subway, FWIW. Like performers and vendors, ads can make really make a metro feel safe and alive.

Berlin:
- 159 apartments
- 50,000 sq ft
- $11M US
- 36mo total to design, permit & build
that's $69,000 a unit
what are we doing (wrong) here in the US? sehw-architektur.de/projekte/umme-…

@metrolosangeles @mottsmith We don't need ads, we need proper wayfinding.

@mottsmith Hey Mott. Tx for heads up. Working with vendor to either welcome you to the correct station or shut it down for time being. Screen is normally for ads.

@Leslie_Ridings An ill thought out ad is an ill thought out ad, regardless of country.

Wow did not know listening to AirPods while you’re WALKING ACROSS THE STREET is directly equivalent to driving a car at 35mph while looking down at your phone.
Not a slam on 🇨🇦, 🇺🇸 arguably far worse. But drawing not only some quasi-legal but ethical equivalency here is nuts.
