56 / Law & disorder (bike edition).
mercredi 11 septembre 2024 • Duration 31:20
Aside from better infrastructure, varying and incongruent laws make biking very challenging. Should I ride on the sidewalk, or on the road? Where do I belong? Will I actually get a ticket if I make a judgement call?
Through the wacky ways that we regulate bikes in the states, we see starkly how they are not viewed as a viable transportation method (yet).
We scratch the surface on the head-scratching confusion; it's no wonder that folks are too overwhelmed and afraid to start biking, even if they want to.
Rest in Peace, Johnny Gaudreau.
We discuss:
00:00 Briefly on Johnny Gaudreau's death.

08:52 Legal inconsistencies in cycling and bike laws.

41 / Five under-the-radar reasons a walk might feel safer.
mercredi 12 juin 2024 • Duration 19:36
Recently, my partner Aly reflected on our walks in Columbus (OH) feeling safer than elsewhere in the states. We discussed the why behind this perceived feeling, and articulated the claim into five attributable rationales. We decided to rehash those, here.
As planners, designers, and urbanists get deeper into the technical, it's important to keep the way that a place or piece of infrastructure simply feels top of mind.
40 / A new creative industry town? / with Rob Parker
jeudi 6 juin 2024 • Duration 45:28
Rob Parker — president of the Town at Trilith — is in good traffic this week to share on constructing a walkable town around creatives and the film industry. 40 minutes outside of Atlanta, a 235-acre neighborhood is taking shape. It’s budding around one of the largest film studios in the U.S., and is looking to become a cradle for creatives, on the way to establishing a revamped, stronger model of an industry town.
Even amongst all of the glitz and glamour of movie studios — simple, practical walkability is top of mind.
We discuss:

01:44 Building and curating a walkable community, specifically designed for creatives.
07:20 Intentionality in crafting diverse, ‘missing middle’ housing options.

39 / Single occupancy vehicles, heavier cars, & transportation inefficiency.
mercredi 5 juin 2024 • Duration 21:48
Musing from recent neighborhood walks. Notably: counting single occupancy vehicles (SOVs) entering and exiting the city during rush hour. Surely, some of these are coming from — and going to — similar areas of the metro. There has to be a better way. And, they're all driving increasingly-large SUVs, too.
Bigger, heavier cars. More inefficient, wasted space.
There is much we can glean from a basic neighborhood wander. This is one such observation; what is one of yours?
We discuss:
00:00 Observations from neighborhood walks, amongst rush hour commuters.
04:27 The inefficiency of single occupancy vehicles.
11:28 The exploding popularity of larger vehicles in the U.S. (SUVs, trucks, etc.).
16:44 More on inefficiencies in American cities.
21:30 What have you noticed in your neighborhood?
For context:
U.S. commuter data (via CSIS).
Market share by vehicle type, 1975-2021 (via Center for Sustainable Systems, University of Michigan).
Cost of empty airline seats (via Forbes).
Most popular vehicle type in each state (via iSeeCars).
