Early pandemic I was on a panel with Warren Logan, working then on Oakland's open streets. He's now running for Oakland City Council. Great interview with him on The Overhead Wire https://theoverheadwire.com/2024/08/unedited-podcast-transcript-497-the-real-work-of-safer-streets/. Great line that maybe what should be "permanent" in street design is flexibility: play streets during summer, market streets, festival streets. Love it.

Recording of today's Complete Streets Power Hour. Great to learn from co-panelist Patrick Hartley about Tucson's work. Lots here for implementers and advocates too. https://events.zoom.us/ejl/AvLp-zfqkRw-szlxti69B7MXskUKf-5lkQAxS_YvSrg3VPfBNuNT~A9FGJH7hY-7jzK6Q-UXJk6V4e3JbxVsfP-BSdQJxtq0q6zi8Ne-wutErV1V5LWZvfeU-Tdr_siZv0zpuCaTd-2oPZASg/home

"Public right of way"
should mean people don't die there
no matter what mode.
"It’s bizarre. We are a society obsessed with the safety of our children, sometimes to a ridiculous extent. Yet when it comes to the school run, the automobile remains sacred." -Taras Grescoe @straphanger https://straphanger.substack.com/p/the-case-for-car-free-school-streets #SafeRoutesNow #SchoolStreets #PeopleStreets #RoadSafety #SafetyOverSpeed #TarasGrescoe #CarCulture
