Typical of Boys-Smith's narrow approach to call out the untidiness of 'snail trails' or 'street scars' but we really ought to think the whole mess through. Do we need a limited materials palette? Should utilities be buried/what's the carbon footprint of that? etc. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/09/call-uk-utility-firms-higher-fines-street-scars-pavements

@timwaterman The narrowness of UK streets creates all kinds of problems for necessary adaptations and utilities too (they should all be nationalised and turned into co-ops ofc). I am spending more time out of London and I see narrow A-routes where every front garden is paved for cars, and a two-tier class system defined by whether people rely on buses. It would be possible to reimagine utilities provided differently, alongside and as part of cycle tracks. Massive investment in public transport!
