Quality of everyday life
Sidewalks, bike lanes, benches, lighting, gardens, trees, mixed-zoning cleaning up litter... all these add up to making people feel better about a place, according to an urban design guide pulled together the Center for Active Design, a think tank. Here's a quick-scan version at Curbed. A lot of the things mentioned in there are already in progress to some degree here locally, but the evidence is a reminder to keep pushing. [Curbed]

The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

Today's "Getting There" column in the TU covers the completion of the Madison Road Diet. A startling fact from the article is that the road diet was 10 years in the making! What an appallingly slow process to go through just to restripe a road.
Speaking of the road diet, can we extend it to Crossgates and down to the river? And can we have a North/South version?
