Kaplan, LA in @VpsbV is targeting people walking or biking after 9pm—especially the young, poor, people of color who are more likely to be on foot or on a bike and more likely to work outside of 9-5. If you don't have a car, stay out of sight!

Our new report, #DividedByDesign, is here!
In it, we quantify the damage caused when 2 major highways, I-20 in Atlanta and I-395/695, were built through cities. The consequences continue. A thread 🧵(1/6)

Trying to figure out who “owns” a term shifts from the important struggle against an outdated approach to street design.
We’re happy to work with orgs like @StrongTowns to hold agencies accountable for mislabeling dangerous roadways. smartgrowthamerica.org/progr…

This progress will bring more housing to Arlington County right now, and we hope it leads to zoning changes across the country. This is a GREAT first step toward a future that is more:
🌎Climate resilient
🤝 Racially equitable
🚶Allows its communities to thrive
#MissingMiddle
Form-Based Codes Institute retweeted
The County’s recent decision leaves more room to develop Missing Middle Housing, or a range of multi-family or clustered housing types.
This provides:
👥 Gentle density
🏠 A choice on housing types
🤝 A more complete and equitable community
