'you can hear birds, because we don't have to put up with the sound of traffic so much.' There is a win for people without small kids too, who are not mentioned, but get to use the space for walking, cycling, coffee in the sun with a friend or neighbour hearing the birds, breathing less pollution.

This is perfect for a city like Jersey City. If we could make our neighborhoods truly safe for pedestrians and cyclists, we wouldn't need to rely on cars so much. Imagine getting to school or to the PATH station or to the bus this comfortably!

The REV Saint-Denis is great too, but I think this protected bike intersection might be my new go-to recommendation for people visiting Montreal who want to see high cycling volumes in the North American context.

Exeter could have this around every school. Why not at least outside Ladysmith and St Michaels? And the Cathedral School? Nearly one year since focus groups held to find solutions following the LTN removal.

He will have plenty of time to search for parking spots when he never works an NFL game again!

YouTube video by Streetfilms® Crazy! London Installed School Streets around a Cricket Stadium! Look!

How crazy is this? The Kia Oval is a large cricket stadium in London. How large? Try 27,500 seats! And now about half of the perimeter of space surrounding the stadium feature two schools streets at Henry Fawcett Primary School and St. Mark's C of E Primary School.

What's a School Street you ask?

And then you ask, why aren't all transportation decision-makers choosing to build more streets for children?

Gale has been more and more listening to the cranks. It is sad.

I can't wait until I am officially retired (but still making films and things) so I can tell people like this to go fuck themselves.

Very good information to know.

YouTube video by Streetfilms® Yes, there are plenty of cars in Copenhagen!

Always reminding cranks in these “bicycling meccas” there are still plenty of roads and plenty of people driving on them!

youtu.be/ipgaFDU3jeM?...

Despite the so-called “war on cars”, there are still lots of roads in Montreal to drive or park your car on. Most of them, actually.

Actually heard these two arguments from cranky speakers at a Community Board meeting back-to-back.

How is it that they are useless and empty but the next person says they are so crowded it is dangerous to cross the street?

Hmmm...
