Anne Hidalgo: "Cars Will Not Return To the Eiffel Tower" after the Olympic Games.

"The Trocadéro will be greened and the Pont d'Iéna pedestrianized, up to the Champ de Mars, which will be reforested. The whole thing will form a large park in the heart of Paris."

Paris: Anne Hidalgo promet que "les voitures ne reviendront pas devant la Tour Eiffel" après les JO

L'élue socialiste prévoit de végétaliser le Trocadéro et de piétonniser le pont d'Iéna pour former "un grand parc" au cœur de la capitale.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

They should do this here. Boosting Brent Toderian (BrentToderian): This is REALLY important.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.

“Fun fact: SIM City was forced to pretend that all parking lots were underground because the game would be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots.”

Really boring like too many real cities and suburbs?

7 years ago, while trying to get approval to operate in cities all over the world, #Uber insisted that it would actually reduce traffic. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber & Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic, & now admit they actually increase congestion.

So much for “making cities better.”

This actually isn’t surprising at all, but it still needs to said over & over — the biggest barrier to more urban biking in cities is the fear of cars.

“A study confirms that if we are serious about getting people on bikes, they need a safe place to ride.”

When we see streets primarily as space to move cars, we miss out on the wonderful places for people that streets can be. And our cities are less successful for it. Actually, it’s not even good for moving cars! Rotenturmstraße’s before-&-after transformation in #Vienna via former Deputy Mayor Birgit Hebein.

“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.

Remember this? A simple, creative way to make the really important point about the need for child-safe, all-ages & abilities PROTECTED bike-paths. Paint isn’t safe infrastructure, any more than stuffed animals are — if you wouldn’t let your kids ride in it, it isn’t safe, Period. #Berlin via @umwerfer.
