Tuesday night was a really great night in my career when I won a significant award at an event in Seattle in a room with 800 people. It felt wonderful, and I captured a bit of it here: http://bikestylespokane.com/2024/03/17/a-thrilling-night/.
I just walked along a long stretch of beautiful new sidewalk from a bus stop and encountered this. Shel Silverstein's book is always true-- Where the Sidewalk Ends. he just didn't complete it with the subtitle "With no Advance Warning Far Enough Ahead that You Could Have Crossed at the Roundabout by the Bus Stop to the Side with the Complete Sidewalk and Curb Ramps."
We've built transportation systems that isolate rather than connect. We need complete networks--of people, of infrastructure, of connections between modes--so all of us can get where we need to go.
