Higher levels of environmental noise are linked to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and cognitive impairment in children. The good news is, there are simple things we can do to address it.

This was an early mainstream article about #InducedDemand aka the #LawOfCongestion that made a big splash on social media & really penetrated public perception. Still one of the best articles. At the time, I saw it as a turning point. From 2014 in WIRED. wired.com/2014/06/wuwt-tโ€ฆ

Fewer things changed my perspective on the reality of American cities than the realization that they weren't built for the car, but demolished for it. (Interstate highway construction in Kansas City MO, 1957)

The underwater bike parking at Amsterdam Centraal Station is the crown jewel in a bold plan to build 300,000 spaces nationwide since 1999. Over that period, Dutch railways has evaluated each facility, refined their approach, and developed nine design principles in use todayโ€ฆ ๐Ÿงต

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, itโ€™s safer to NOT have them. Via Streetsblog USA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/proโ€ฆ

It is often said cities get the traffic they plan for, and there is no better example than the corridor behind Amsterdam Centraal Station. Where automobiles reigned supreme as recently as 1997, an endless wave of cyclists enabled by decades of bold and effective mobility policy.
