Gastown could look like this if the majority on Vancouver City Council wasn't such a bunch of car huggers.

Going thru all my old photos featuring me (as a percentage I am not in very many) but came across this from 17 years ago a visit to Los Angeles and still think it is one of the best photos of me ever!

Look what happens when you get the cars out! Union Sq/Broadway yesterday. Lots of peds & #bikenyc - many going against their signals - but witness the innate negotiation ballet that occurs when dangerous vehicles aren't around. Congestion Pricing lesson: People buy things, not cars. NYC thrives!

Books on a slab of rock in daylighting with a painted mural along a bus only lane! Yup. NYC’s streets yield treasures.

If anyone is wondering why my body is so beat up, for most of the last 20 years imagine biking around with a camera 10+ times the weight and 10+ times the size of your cellphone or gimbal to record the world! (BTW that tiny gimbal is my savor now. I ♥️ it so and shoot about 75% of my films with it!)

One of my guys right here. We’ve both dedicated a huge chunk of our lives to making media and telling stories about streets and the people and policies that shape them. ❤️🙏💯

Congrats to 20 years at @streetfilms.bsky.social AND @bikeportland.org. How do I know? Jonathan Maus and I reminisced in 2023 about our 18th anniversary. We covered lots. It's pretty amazing stuff talking NYC & Portland with tons of great footage to salivate over. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvRG...

Damn. Look at the size of those cars during the 1980 NYC transit strike. No giant SUVs!

As we approach the 20th Anniversary of Streetfilms, I have been posting some fun reminiscing. This was a fun list to make but almost like torture because I really could make it Top 50 but had to leave many people out. Please check it out and let me know any surprises!

These are everywhere in Montreal. I don’t have numbers but I wouldn’t be surprised if hundreds of intersections have had curb extensions installed. @streetfilms.bsky.social loves pointing them out: youtu.be/lcFrsxfjB1M?...

The Secretary of Transportation apparently believes every tired myth about bike lanes you have ever heard, including that they cause congestion, somehow put cyclists in harms way, and don't attract riders. Here's an explainer about why he's wrong, according to decades of data from agencies he runs.

Thinking of making a certain number of some sort of version of this shirt? What would you add? Would you buy? What color should I use?

Super simple. Want to see #Daylighting working as advertised? Watch how well you see pedestrians/road users when you can see the curb. @openplans.org

HEADS UP! Posting this for the 1st time on Bluesky. If you are holding a transportation film screening (or want to) OR if you have a festival and want to show Streetfilms here is the process. 1 - Ask. (Yes, they are free to screen) It's a great way to get communities to talk about transportation.
