Description

Reflecting on traffic calming infrastructure seen this week in suburban Dublin, Ohio, on Tara Hill Drive.

When car-dominated suburbs build infrastructure like neighborhood traffic circles, it's an acknowledgment that we surely know how to design safer streets, and thus every street designed on the contrary is an active choice against resident livability.

The road to stronger, safer, and more livable neighborhoods is not a mysterious one.

In addition, we briefly touch on an impactful Twitter thread from the week. It's on road accident death rates, how we compare to Russia (not good), and how to operate amongst the attributable dangers here in the states. The credit belongs to Mark Abraham, and you can find the thread here. It's worth your time.

Thanks for bearing with me during our studio move. Apologies for any sub-optimal sound, this week.
