This is a really thought provoking piece. There is so much in it that is recognisable, not least the depressing sight of faith buildings at which car parking appears to be prioritised over all else. @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org www.strongtowns.org/journal/2025...

Transport is the sector that now needs to deliver the biggest emissions cuts. Government policy is probably slightly weaker than Boris Johnson-era policy so will need firming up if this is to be achieved. (from Guardian coverage of today's CCC report) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

One of the less discussed impacts of transport. “Noise pollution is often overlooked, considered just an annoyance of everyday life. However, long-term impacts of noise on our health and environment are widespread and significant. Children are also particularly vulnerable to the effects of noise…”

The ~1.3-1.4 C of global average surface temperature rise humans have caused, mostly by burning fossil fuels, is already intensifying heat waves by up to 4 C (note the difference between a peak and an average). This is killing people, but we can avoid unnecessary deaths by quickly cutting emissions.

“The idea of paying a $9 toll each day infuriated her. Yet since the policy was implemented she has changed her mind. A journey which used to take an hour or more can now be as quick as 15m. Polls show more New Yorkers now support the toll than oppose it. A few months ago, it saw staunch opposition”

Seeing West Midlands Police do some illegal e-motorcycle enforcement (without a PSPO!) at the moment in Birmingham City Centre, receiving a mixed reaction in comments. Police enforcement certainly chips away at one edge of the problem but all the other aspects remain.

Accusing people advocating for more public and active transport options of not considering disabled people while ignoring the way that the current paucity of public and active transport options limit disabled people's mobility isn't disability justice advocacy, it's enforced car dependency advocacy.
