Two items of note today from Planetizen:
- Many Ways to Reimagine Suburbia takes a look at the finalists in a contest to figure out what to do with Long Island. That is, BTW, the home of Levittown — kinda the start of it all. There’s much to read and ponder in the 23 entires left standing. The question for me, however, is: Should we try to fix the ‘burbs or encourage people to flee while they still can?
- Road Diet Crash Reduction Variations Studied by DOT takes a look at the range of data showing that road diets reduce crashes — but by how much? Springfield has put a couple of roads on diets recently and created a much nicer traveling experience for bicyclists.
