10 Years Ago on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend our team at @NYC_DOT closed Broadway to traffic to create pedestrian plazas at Times and Herald Square. Reflecting on this 10 years later I have 10 lessons that can inform our work making great streets for great cities today.

Now it's 15 years! NYC is lucky to still have the likes of Sean Quinn and Josh Benson making its streets better. And each year its harder and harder to imagine the way it was before plazas!

🚨 AB 1082 🚨 is a well intentioned bill that will be a total disaster for roadway safety in CA. You think parking in bike lanes and bus stops is bad today? Wait until there are ZERO consequences. For this or ANY other parking violation. @NancySkinnerCA please vote NO 1/9 – at Oakland, CA

We've fallen down a rabbit hole into a wonderland where most fire engine calls are in response to traffic crashes, our fire engines are too big to operate anywhere other than on wide streets and most car crashes occur because our streets are too wide. denvergazette.com/aurora/den…
