Good news for bike activists: Making a safe place on streets for cyclists (and pedestrians) boosts sales for the small businesses in the area.
This according to a recent report from the New York Department of Transportation. The study found that on commercial blocks where new bike lanes were built, the businesses saw a nearly 50 percent increase in sales.

A Pop-up Fake Train Station in Miami to Show the Benefits of Public Transit

- Adele Peters wrote in Transportation, Miami and Cities
Wish your city had better public transit? Here’s one way to help get your neighbors on board as fellow advocates: build a temporary, fake train station to give a real-life demonstration of what a bigger system might look like. Last week in Miami, a group of students from Florida Atlantic ran the Purple Line project, a pop-up “train station” near unused tracks.
The pretend train station included extra features of urban life that tend to grow up around transit centers, like a farmers market, musicians, and cafes. It also included a “transit confession booth” where residents could share rants about the current state of public transportation in Miami.

This New York Times story is a pretty entertaining look at how subway riders starting at an inconveniently designed station communicate to one another which type of train is coming—and therefore whether they should ascend or descend the stairs between platforms.

Since 2008, we’ve been we’ve been hosting GOOD Ideas for Cities events across the country, where local creatives team up with civic leaders to solve real-life urban challenges. The initiative has resulted in dozens of implemented solutions, from a board game that helps house the homeless in L.A., to a neighborhood revitalization project in Dallas, to a network of urban beacons which connects St. Louis both physically and virtually.
Now, in partnership with CEOs for Cities, and thanks to a generous grant from ArtPlace, we’ve published a toolkit that will allow anyone who wants to make a difference in their community to launch a GOOD Ideas for Cities initiative locally.

- Zachary Slobig wrote in Transportation, Cities and Living
Commuting sucks. ‘Mega commuters’ endure 90 minutes each way to punch the clock. More Americans fall into that category than there are residents of Copenhagen. Why point to that Danish city? It’s got the busiest biking street in the Western world—the result of years of public pressure and infrastructure investment that reshaped commuting habits. The arguments for bike commuting are familiar: healthier for you and the environment; saves you tons of cash; often faster than driving or taking public transit. Here’s another: it’s an opportunity to see your city or town without looking through a pane of shatter-proof glass. Another: it’s a lot of fun. In many places it can seem too dangerous to bike to work—no bike lanes and a gauntlet of taxi doors and four-wheeled aggression. A suggestion to mitigate those concerns: find at least one bike buddy. There’s strength (and safety) in numbers. So go ahead and try it. This week, saddle up and ride a bike to work. It might become a habit.
