“I’m not saying you can’t drive a car: what I’m questioning is having someone subsidise my decision to drive and park.”
Parking is being managed in cities “like a badly-run charity,” & that money comes from somewhere.
From Australia, relevant everywhere. theage.com.au/national/victo…

Waltham Forest have suppressed demand for driven trips by reducing the capacity in their motor vehicle network based on simple #TravelDemandManagement i.e. demand for short driven trips is *highly elastic*. #NotRocketScience
New report shows really significant improvements in air quality across the London Borough of Waltham Forest. 💚

New trees have been planted on the contra-flow cycle lane William St Fremantle. It now ends abruptly…at a cycling cul-de-sac?

"In a time when we should be decreasing traffic and the footprint of our vehicles to help address this climate emergency and 40,000 deaths/year on our roads, these supersized vehicles are being normalized to do the exact opposite." @tomflood1

A few thoughts on electric buses, and why conversion to electric is not as simple as it seems.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD, AUSSIES! My new interview with Australian National Broadcaster @abcnews @RadioNational’s show “Blueprint For Living” on the many public implications of the explosive growth of SUVs & pick-up trucks in cities will be on around 9:20am AEST. Listen in!
STUDY: Drivers of bigger vehicles such as pickup trucks & SUVs are more likely to hit & kill pedestrians than drivers of cars. Pedestrian deaths on US roads are up 59% since 2009, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. @USAToday

Two e-scooter share systems started in Perth's inner-city today. They’re not cheap and they're operating in the Free Transit Zone with high-frequency services. This stop on Adelaide Tce has 750+ each day. Will people pay $5 to ride a scooter for 10mins when there’s a free bus?

We desperately need to adopt a Healthy Streets Approach here in WA, in addition to engineering design guidance that addresses local neighbourhood streets.
