MARTA is also going to continue focusing on making stations engaging with activities like @soccerstreets, the fresh markets, and art. How would you activate MARTA rail stations? #SOM19

Rather than widen roads, Portland will manage congestion in the center city by dedicating road space to more efficient modes: Biking and transit. usa.streetsblog.org/2018/11/…

Boston implements a 1-day Bus Rapid Transit pilot by with orange cones, creating a seperate lane for buses. Brilliant. There are so many places we could do this in our suburbs and enhance service. Let's start with Bathurst Street. #MovingMorePeople usa.streetsblog.org/2017/12/…
