The new edition of Street Design by John Massengale & @victordover.bsky.social just showed up... It is a beast (well over 600 pages) of good information.

I have written numerous prefaces for books, but I must say that the one for «Street Design» by my friends @massengale.com & @victordover.bsky.social was a real pleasure & also an honour 10 years after its release with Prince Charles at the time. The afterword by Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk another joy

Un fil à lire Merci @mdeles.bsky.social 🙏🏻

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Here's my video profiling this beautiful main street (Harrison Ave) redesign by @doverkohl.com HT @victordover.bsky.social youtu.be/nJN0uJ2PP_4

QUOTE: "The trouble with traffic engineers is that when there's a problem with a road, they always try to add something, To my mind, it's much better to remove things.” - Hans Monderman, the great Dutch traffic engineer who popularized modern shared space streets

QUOTE: The new design builds on the DOT's existing efforts to keep cars from corners with hard infrastructure such as concrete jersey barriers, bike racks, planters, granite blocks, plastic sticks or bumps to slow down turns. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/06/12/d...

This is the first time I ever wished Donny Two Dolls had cheated his way into #Harvard. Why? Because Lynn Zeman said on X: "College degrees can be revoked. Your move Harvard" and added this photo:
