If a car can hop a curb and destroy a power line pole in the middle of a sidewalk, what would it do to a person walking on that same sidewalk? Picture taken at 7:48 am just south of downtown Tulsa on 15th Street looking toward Boulder Ave. If this is the peak period (aka “rush hour”) do we really need 4 lanes? Road design determines travel speeds. Lower speeds means fewer and less severe crashes.

Exterior videos offer a powerful way to showcase how your building will fit into its surroundings. By providing a realistic view from a pedestrian and neighbour's perspective, these videos can be instrumental in getting your application approved. #CGIVideos #PropertyDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #RealEstate

Yes, not every city is NYC, but every city can (and should) implement context-appropriate bicycle facilities. I'd love to see localities adopt design guidelines that consider: - Existing bicycle facility usage - POTENTIAL for bicycle facility usage - Destinations likely to attract children (schools, parks, etc.) - Level of traffic stress and vehicular traffic volumes - Compliance with parking signage - Space available A cycle track on a high-volume, high-speed road with limited buffer might necessitate a jersey barrier. Parking-protected bike lanes with lots of drivers obstructing the bike lanes might warrant quick curbs or a concrete barrier. A bike lane along a bus route could warrant a wider concrete barrier that can also function as a bus stop. Lower-stress facilities might be fine with just planters and flex posts.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the launch of the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT)'s "Creating a Public Realm for All" report. The event's speakers were fantastic, highlighting their experiences and expertise in bringing real change to their local streets. My main takeaways are: 1) Making the streets accessible to all makes them better for everyone. 2) Street furniture and tactile paving can be overdone, making it difficult for whellchair users to get past or for blind people to understand their position on a pavement. 3) When trying out an idea, get people who it is designed for actually there because (and this is real) not all spaces for wheelchairs are big enough for wheelchairs. Although these are not new ideas, awareness is key for everyone to understand the quality of the spaces that they are living and working with.

A recent study reveals alarming levels of subsidence (2–8 cm since 2016) among Miami’s beachfront skyscrapers, including luxury properties like the Porsche Design Tower and Trump Tower III.

🏙️ This recent drone image by #UTForum contributor Tim MacDonald captures a scene that shares a lot with suburbs across the continent — wide roads, surface parking, subdivisions to the horizon — but one that's relatively unique to Toronto's suburbs too, through the interrupting line of high-rises. In most metropolitan areas in North America, high-rises are a thing of the central city... but with developable land both in such high demand and relatively scarce here, Toronto and its surrounding municipalities are leading the way in high-density where it's not so usually found, and skylines other than Downtown Toronto's proliferate across the region. In this case, we look south across Eglinton Avenue in the Erin Mills area of Mississauga, with the parking lots of the Erin Mills Town Centre mall taking up the foreground. https://lnkd.in/eF4Ye9my #Toronto #architecture #development #condos #skyline
