The bigger picture here is that if Anchorage hadn't been designed around low density housing & planned automobile dependency there would be: -Fewer streets to plow (cost = 📉) -Narrower streets (cost = 📉) -More housing per street (budget = 📈) -Better access for all 👨🦯👨🦽👩🦼👶
As our neighborhood is mostly ranch-style homes, there's a higher-than-average amount of assisted living homes and individuals with disabilities. They have to wait till Saturday to have safer street access and will be dependent on others or 911 services if anything happens.
👏👏
“There is a housing crisis with young Alaskans unable to afford a home, yet swaths of the city sit empty as parking lots…” adn.com/opinions/2022/…
Look at that… California following Alaska’s lead 😏
San Jose, the third largest city in California and the tenth largest in the US, voted *unanimously* tonight to eliminate parking minimums citywide! This is a huge win for the city's climate + affordability goals, and an incredible Overton Window shift. Couldn't be more proud!
This is kind of cool: 81,000 people in Anchorage have access to services within a 15 min walk. Seems like these are the key areas to focus pedestrian infrastructure investments:
People: we want safe bike/walk infrastructure. Cities: it will not work here — have you seen our winters? ❄️ People: we want safe bike/walk infrastructure. Cities: it will not work here — have you experienced our summers? ☀️ Both are wrong.
All of these parking lots could be childcare All of these parking lots could be good bbq restaurants All of these parking lots could be breweries or distilleries All of these parking lots could be libraries
Wow. At long last, the NY Times places the US's abysmal record for road safety in international context. nytimes.com/2022/11/27/ups…
This is huge. Lots to be thankful for this weekend! 🦃🚫🚗 What’s next? 😉
Passed unanimously! 🎉🎉🎉
