The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.
So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?
WOW. A Cities Skylines mod developer built a Streetmix-inspired road builder in the game, and it's amazing. Thanks for this preview @CityPlannerYT

Redesigning All 6 of Kenmore, New York's Main Streets - I used @streetmix to redesign the six main streets to facilitate a mode shift in Buffalo's most walkable suburb from the abysmal status quo of 96% commuting to work by car, 1% public transit, 2% walking, and 0% bike⏩🧵

Use a visualization tool like @streetmix to come up with layouts. I measured one suburban road that was 150' wide from back of sidewalk to back of sidewalk. Then I recreated what it looks like today. 👇

This is what N. Dubuque St. between Church St. and Downtown could look like after a road diet. Made with @streetmix . Read our article:

📢 Last night, Longmont became the first city in Colorado to eliminate minimum parking mandates citywide!
Not only that, but they replaced them with parking maximums to prevent developers from building too much parking.
This is a big win for housing, climate & sustainable transportation. Who’s next?? 👀

Without a doubt every time I see NYC communities, organizations, individuals and smart elected officials put forth rational ideas to make their streets more equitable and serve more people (say like this wonderful @streetmix below ⬇️) the 😡cranks 😡 absolutely hate it.

Here's a quick preview of a "text to street" which uses @OpenAI to create @3dstreetapp scenes with @streetmix JSON format as intermediary output for LLM to construct scene. Still needs a lot of fine tuning and UI work, but the code is open-source if you are feeling adventurous...
Python prompt generator and interpreter: github.com/3DStreet/text-to-…
JavaScript / @aframevr visualization layer, note this is an unmerged dev branch: github.com/3DStreet/3dstreet…

There's no justification for a 6-lane street like this, even in car-dependent America.
You don't have to re-build the entire street. Start by squeezing cars to the center & adding barriers between them & the walk/bike zone.

Attention Street Design Nerds! One of the most intriguing cities in recent years at reconsidering streets for people instead of just for cars, Oslo Norway, has translated their Street Design Manual into English and put it on-line. Worth digging into. #Oslo

How to fix a Stroad? Make it a street. Thanks to @streetmix it's easy to envision what Arneill would look like with proper sidewalks and protected bike lanes.
