The most wonderful, most visited, economically stable cities in the world are walkable, people-centric, NOT car-centric. 👉🏻@cityofasburyparknj Make it more desirable to walk 🚶🏽and roll 🚲🛴, and less desirable to 👎🏻🚗 drive. 👉🏻Build a model city for people. NOT cars. 👉🏻Open streets on a regular basis, for special events, and *permanently* for walking, dining, shopping.#openstreets #asburyparkcompletestreetscoalition #CarsRuinCities #StreetsAreForPeople #toomanycars #WalkableCity #bikablecity #asburypark @amymquinn @eileenchapman7 @angelaahbez ...

Cars are destroying the planet. These monstrosities are the worst, and if they’re EVs they’re not ok. Drivers are killing more people outside of these vehicles - in smaller cars, and outrageous numbers of people walking and rolling. ... See MoreSee Less

Why is it weird not to own a car?The automotive industry has planted a bug in American brains that cars equal freedom and are tied to our personal identity. The financial burden of owning a car is ridiculous. Most cars are idle up to 90%of the time. Cars are destroying the planet and EVs won’t save us. Widening highways leads to induced demand (more cars), and over 40 thousand people are killed in traffic violence every year in the US. Roads are chewed up by traffic requiring constant repaving asphalt (oil), and runoff goes into waterways. We need more transit options, more and better infrastructure for walking and rolling.

Unlocking my bike after the eclipse event on Asbury Park Boardwalk, an interaction with a guy. 🚲🍻Him: “I like your bike”. (For context, an old hybrid with a rusty basket.)🚲Me: “I like it too.” Him: I like your basket.” Me: “I like it too”. Inserting key into bike lock. Him: “I ride my bike everywhere around here. But I have a place in Jersey City, and they’ve gone overboard with the bike lanes.”“And those bike delivery guys…”. Me: 😏 biting tongue, “but what if all those bike delivery guys were driving cars?” Key turns. Bike lock in basket. “Byeeeee”. 🚲💨What is it with people who say “I ride a bike, but…”? #apcompletestreets #asburyparkcompletestreetscoalition #rideabike #ridebikes #bicycleeverywhere @bikejcgram @bikejcgram @bikejcgram @jerseycitynj ...

Did you know that there are 8 parking spaces for every car in the US? Surface parking lots eat up people space. “They’re often large fields of empty space,” says Derek Hoetmer, founding principal at urban design firm MCLV, “contributing nothing beyond the sole purpose of storing personal property (cars). They lack the ingredients of what makes cities great: a sense of place.”Advocates for open streets and open playgrounds know that if cities aren’t built with the health, development, and independence of kids in mind, the result is an insidious public health emergency.READ MORE:apcompletestreets.org/parking-or-people/ ...
