Turning oceans of blacktop into great places for people

Vast expanses of asphalt, like the one at Peters & Walker Streets in Atlanta, are not what cities need (notice the circular tire marks, obviously from dangerous behaviors enabled by this expanse).

In the second image, check out a great concept for how to use our public domain in a better way, adding space for pedestrians.

Even if there's some reason that the exact design pictured in the concept illustration isn't perfect for this exact intersection in Castleberry Hill, it's the spirit of the thing that I'm drawn to -- the idea of asking "how can we redesign this as a great urban space?" (instead of a knee jerk "we can't do that here! Atlanta's a car town!").

I'm glad to see leading pedestrian intervals at some intersections, where the walk signal gives pedestrians a head start. But I wish they were everywhere. I get this experience too often, being in a crosswalk while a car zips through as a driver makes a turn.

[This experience was, in fact, my entry into the urbanism rabbit hole -- specifically, crossing Ponce to get groceries while pushing my son in a baby stroller and watching drivers zip inches past us.]

Related: am I getting grumpier or is driver behavior getting worse? A little of both probably. We spotted multiple drivers brazenly run red lights yesterday while we were walking around.

It's also possible that my expectations of street safety have risen to the point where bad behavior is more glaring now that it used to be. Which is not a bad thing. We should all have higher expectations of safe streets.

This is so interesting! Also just a reminder the costume designer for the pilot won an award for their work on The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu.
