Maps have been placed at some bus stops by a helpful commuter! Check this one out on the #8 on Cherokee.
These maps help to clarify the bus system for new travelers.
Hey #Urbanists of Mastodon.
If anyone knows of any really good studies/papers that show how pedestrianisation has been a big benefit for local businesses, please can you share them.
EDIT: Thanks, everyone who sent me stuff. I think I have enough now

Masto.bike has 89% of images with something in the alt text field (this doesn't test for how equitable and useful the alt text is).
urbanists.social only has 31%
Is #Urbanism accessible? Will the plans of #urbanists be?

I could be more tolerant of abled urbanists/cycle advocates making sweeping statements about what drivers should be allowed or what infrastructure design is "better" if I ever saw them address accessibility for disabled drivers & disabled cyclists as a regular part of their practice, informed by actual co-leadership with disabled people. So far, at least for the social media, videos, talks & articles that cross my path, I don't see that. #Accessibility #Urbanists #BikeTooter
@willowbl00 Jane Jacob's The Death and Life of Great American Cities was adamant that what reduces crime and improves neighborhood safety is having eyes on the street i.e.neighbours out on the street interacting and knowing each other and what is going on in the neighborhood. Maybe some #Urbanists out there can point to research to back this up?
