Saint John is closer to a “one‑minute city” than we think. Union is waking up; Lansdowne already hums with daily life. The problem? We still design for cars, not people. Imagine if we flipped that script on a few key streets.

The real unlock? Stop treating mobility as a disutility to minimize.
Start seeing it as social glue.

A split-screen image with text on the left and a car on the right. The left side has a dark background with white text that reads: “The car isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a cultural artefact of capitalism.” Below this heading is a list of points: Work as a calling → The car enables work, productivity, and purpose Efficiency and rationalization → Cars are designed for speed, control, and optimization Material success as virtue → Car ownership signals achievement and self-reliance Individualism and autonomy → Driving is deeply personal; it’s freedom on four wheels Disenchantment and mechanization → The car is a machine, not a mystery—a symbol of modernity Uniformity and standardization → Roads, rules, and car design reflect bureaucratic order Asceticism and reinvestment → Cars are often bought not for pleasure, but to enable work The right side shows the front of a silver car parked on a road at sunset, with warm orange light in the background and a power pole visible in the distance.

Research shows downtown one-way streets can raise crash risks and hurt local economies. CityBeautiful explains why many cities are converting them back to two-way traffic to better serve people.

Thank you Young Professionals in Transportation- NYC & @nyc-dot.bsky.social for last week’s Midtown & UES bike tour! 🚲🌆
We rode through protected lanes, shared streets, plazas, & the East Midtown Greenway — plus got to try out the new “green wave” signal timing on 3rd Ave. 😍

Lately, I favor installing benches on wide downtown sidewalks perpendicular to the flow of passersby. Creates a little "walking eddy" room [I just made that term up] to encourage neighbors to pause and talk. Example from Mount Lebanon, PA. What do you think?

A smiling man wearing an orange hard hat and high-visibility vest takes a selfie inside a tunnel construction site. Several other workers and media personnel in safety gear are visible in the background, some engaged in filming and discussions. The setting is an underground infrastructure project with concrete walls, lighting, and safety equipment.

Picture of roundabout from center of an approaching street. Center of roundabout has stones and a paved berm.
When a true modern roundabout is built, injuries become minor, and collisions go way down.
Here’s a hybrid roundabout/traffic circle in Long Beach. ~70 foot diameter.
A car or truck can’t get through without slowing to non-lethal speeds if designed right. #roundabout #streetsafety #streetdesign
A grey Royal Mail holding box on a pole, jutting out of the pavement amid roadworks.
A win against pavement clutter! Royal Mail will remove this redundant holding box at Yeaman Place after new footway buildouts were installed around it 🤦. Thanks to @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social for reporting & campaigning to remove unused boxes from footways #StreetDesign #PedestrianAccess

League of American Bicyclists Licensed Safety Instructors teaching an older person on a road bike, wearing a helmet, clip in shoes, shorts and a travel shirt how to stop quickly. The person on the bike fills the left half of the image; on the right half, two people are spotting the person as the bicyclist plans to stop. You mostly see a person in a tshirt and shorts, with their back to you, but you also see the outstretched arm of someone in flipflops. On the ground are little markers to help focus the place to brake.
a person on a silver upright bike is traveling in their every day wear, a winter coat, and trainers, with a scarf with a very very big paper shopping bag from a store on their arm. They are making a right hand turn.
I want to write about literacies I know as a bicyclist in the States versus literacies I wish I knew. I can teach someone how to stop on a dime to avoid being hit by a person in a car; I want to know how to carry a big shopping bag with ease. I’d skip the fur, obvs. #streetdesign shapes literacies.
Had an excellent tour Nov 8: @stevemouzon.bsky.social explaining the design of the Village of Providence, Huntsville AL. Note the narrow Yield Street. #StreetDesign
