Otis White<p>20 years ago Atlanta started work on what seemed like an impossible project: a 22-mile circle of pedestrian and <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> trails around downtown called the Beltline. As the Beltline nears final construction, it has become so popular it has spawned a new problem: bike-pedestrian collisions. Civic leaders urge the city to build lanes “separating heels from wheels.” <a href="https://www.ajc.com/opinion/opinion-the-beltline-is-increasingly-popular-and-atlanta-must-help-it-evolve/R3TR6UQW75H4VJEQKWEPNH4IPI/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ajc.com/opinion/opinion-the-be</span><span class="invisible">ltline-is-increasingly-popular-and-atlanta-must-help-it-evolve/R3TR6UQW75H4VJEQKWEPNH4IPI/</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/walkable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>walkable</span></a></p>
Otis White<p>In 2009, NYC closed Broadway through Times Sq to traffic and it set off … a furor. Until people saw the results: Many more people in the street and no gridlock. Seattle’s Pike Place Market has talked about something similar for years, closing streets to increase pedestrian access and safety. Finally, with the city’s blessing, it has done so. <a href="https://www.cascadepbs.org/politics/2025/05/vastly-more-walkable-seattles-pike-place-market-tests-car-ban" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cascadepbs.org/politics/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">5/vastly-more-walkable-seattles-pike-place-market-tests-car-ban</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/walkable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>walkable</span></a></p>

John Schrag<p>Currently I’m visiting my in-laws in a suburban area north of San Diego. It’s such a contrast to my urban neighbourhood in Toronto, where everything I need is within a 15 minute walk. Here the landscape consists of tiny islands of retail chain stores, each surrounded by vast parking lots. Everyone drives everywhere. When I suggested to my host that I would walk to the nearest strip mall, she reacted with horror and tried to dissuade me.</p><p>There are bike lanes, and (I am told) public transit, but I have yet to see a bicycle or a bus anywhere. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live here if you were unable to drive. You’d be completely dependent.</p><p>On a positive note, my in-laws told me that all the kids now have e-bikes, mainly because there are no school busses and the parents are tired of driving them to school each day. So hopefully the next generation will grow up seeing them as a viable form of transportation. (Their parents, on the other hand, worry about safety and strongly encourage driving and car ownership as soon as the kids are old enough)</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/biking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biking</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/walkable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>walkable</span></a></p>
