More praise for Low Traffic Neighborhoods via @nyc.streetsblog.org @usa.streetsblog.org nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/07/f...

I hit 8,000 followers. Thank you @bsky.app I ❤️ it here!

Hard at work yesterday and this morning on my @34ave.bsky.social open street documentary! Shot 5 interviews yesterday and today with some of the wonderful folks on this #bikenyc ride! 3 more later today!

An angel or a bat? I don’t know how old that tree is but that’s quite a lot of pruning and dedication!!

Please watch this amazing film about Low Traffic Neighborhoods in London. It took them 10 years to install 100+ LTN's and they are building more. Try to ignore the naysayers, data repeatedly shows they are extremely popular. We can have streets for people! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaRc...

The Once-Awesome Fifth Avenue Holiday Open Street will be only one Sunday this year! ONLY SIX HOURS! Talk about mega lame. It used to be 3. Adams is just slugging his way out the door. @nyc.streetsblog.org Here it was in 2023. youtu.be/7vlZQxfBzB0?...

Recognise any streets here ?!

Dear Chicago department of transportation:

There are few stop signs 🛑 in London. Why? Intersections are designed better which is great for continuous bicycling as you only need to "give way" at intersections to priority users. This is the end segment of my latest Streetfilm on Low Traffic Neighborhoods. FULL FILM: youtu.be/iaRcd5hEY1Y?...

Lovely 6-min video by @streetfilms.bsky.social, showing how great Low Traffic Neighbourhoods can be! Let's reclaim our streets - and let's also reclaim the term "Low Traffic"! It's hugely desirable for loads of reasons and, despite what some media voices want us to believe, it's hugely popular too.

This is LIVE! And everyone needs to see the benefits of Low Traffic Neighborhoods from London! There is so little good documentation and this needs to be spread far & wide! Thanks for giving it a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaRc...

Last night the city council of Gresham, OR (pop 115k, Oregon's fourth-largest) voted unanimously to repeal costly parking mandates citywide, effective Dec 4. 23 Oregon cities now have zero parking mandates. Join the @parkingreform.org to bring this to your community! (1/2)

Easy to imagine these kinds of simple and amazingly effective treatments on the UWS. How about it @nyc-dot.bsky.social and @galeabrewer.bsky.social ?

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has the chance to revolutionize the city’s streetscape, as other ambitious mayors did across the globe. Here’s how nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/05/a...

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Tonight at 9pm see a Streetfilm that just doesn't exist on Youtube or anywhere: @solomonge.bsky.social takes us on a #London tour of nearby LTN's and shows us how some of the installations work to keep vehicles out of neighborhoods. And don't miss the final minute! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaRc...

Holy shit! Bus lanes, bike lanes, school streets & open streets EVERYWHERE!!

Sorry to hear the mayoral election results in Montreal. Hopefully the new mayor doesn't mess things up. It'd be a shame to see this incredible #urbanism disappear. I've been to Montreal 6 of last 7 years. But if it gets sucky me & many others won't visit! www.streetfilms.org/featured/202...

Today on a ten-transfer @nyctransit.bsky.social adventure from Jax Heights to Brighton Beach with my son. He said we needed to video out the car windows to see if we could capture evidence of the abandoned Myrtle Ave stop. I grudgingly agreed. And amazingly this happened on only attempt: ART! WOW!

My son grabbed my @thewaroncars.bsky.social knit cap as we left for the subway @nyctransit.bsky.social and declared he wanted to “be a part of the marketing campaign”😀😀😀 (note what he’s reading @nytransitmuseum.bsky.social!) @nyc.streetsblog.org

I believe the 2 most important city mayoral elections in the world will be tomorrow’s New York City Election (the most important turning point #VOTE in New York history? #VOTEMamdani) & next year’s Paris Election for the successor of this generation’s most important/influential mayor, Anne Hidalgo.

Added quite a few to my vintage munipals collection of late! #transit #Urbanism

It's time to meet the man behind @streetfilms.bsky.social. Over the last two decades, the Queens resident has almost single-handedly shot over a thousand short videos on street design, notching millions of views and nearly 40,000 followers.

Very heartwarming and well deserved profile of @streetfilms.bsky.social from @hellgatenyc.com

I MADE THE SOCIAL MEDIA HALL OF FAME! A great honor to be in this company!

INDUCTEES: @modacitylife.com for consistently brilliant visuals and messaging profiling cities all over the world. @streetfilms.bsky.social for the best embedded videos in the game, of course. @jasonthorne.bsky.social for showing every chief planner how to do it, brilliantly. #UrbanistShoutOut

Love this well-deserved tribute to @streetfilms.bsky.social by @johnsurico.bsky.social @hellgateny.bsky.social! hellgatenyc.com/livable-stre...

So cool to wake up to this profile of my bud and fellow urbanist documenter nerd Clarence Eckerson @streetfilms.bsky.social ! He's had such an amazing career. A true innovator of the form whose work changed the game forever. hellgatenyc.com/livable-stre...

Hey all! I hope you enjoy this @hellgatenyc.com article on me written by @johnsurico.bsky.social and my 20 years with Streetfilms (and even longer than that.) I got a little emotional from reading all the kind words. @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org hellgatenyc.com/livable-stre...

The value of #schoolstreets #openstreets #plazas cannot be measured by cranks. But ask children - they know our streets are out of balance. Broadway near UnionSquareNY! #Urbanism

Utrecht has a fleet of ~6 of these cars topped with LiDAR. They circle Utrecht making images of parked cars throughout the day. Since people don't always follow parking rules, Utrecht earns €50-100K a day. All that € goes into street improvements. All it takes is cars with license plates (+ LiDAR)

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

“Nobody’s against the bike lane, it’s just the way they did it!” So they ARE against it! They’re AGAINST a safe #bikenyc lane. One of the ONLY ways to travel south by bike. And NOBODY?! I can guarantee you there are cranks would hate it if it was just paint!! brooklyneagle.com/articles/202...

Going thru some archives for a story on public space, came across what has to be one of my favorite shots of all time. That's my kid in Montreal on an open street with an acrobat swooping down towards him. The music, the motion, the street...just incredible. (A little fuzzy tho, it was hot & humid)

In 2019 this was a highway. Now it's 1.3 mi of family-friendly, fully accessible, safe Halloween fun. SF @sunsetdunes Park

I love how the overdevelopment of cities for cars, delivery vehicles, and concentrated commerce has gotten so extreme that it has prompted a lot of rethinking of space, leading to much more livable streets. So much of government & civic innovation is happening at the city level right now.

Very impressive for a Business Improvement District to LEAD the charge to make this happen and contribute $1 million of the cost! It's made SUCH a difference. The seating and relaxing areas are impressively designed! @nyc.streetsblog.org @mikelydon.bsky.social @bfurnas.bsky.social @openplans.org

What an asshole! I've restrained myself from saying that with all the crud he has been doing, saying & putting out commercials about. What a crying vampire. He needs to shut up. He's an embarrassment. And NO he ain't gonna move there after he loses. Watch. (He may just stay in Westchester tho.)

Halloween is only one week away! I think I've decided this year to dress like a NYC crank!

Amazing seeing how much popularity @qagggy.bsky.social has had all over social medias posting photos of NYC's lovely Broadway car-free/car-light corridors! If you want to see many before/afters from my mega @streetfilms.bsky.social click below. Over 2 dozen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hbZ...
