two years ago on April 17 2019, the mayor of Beirut @jamalitani06 @CityOfBeirut announced the development of 16km of bike lanes to be completed by end of the year, along with 14 bike share stations. The project was part of a wider plan to address traffic congestion in Beirut.

“For decades, people who buy enormous, very heavy cars have been creating societal costs that they aren’t paying for. That’s what’s called a market failure.” — @DavidZipper in @Marketplace calls for building societal costs into vehicle choices/purchases. marketplace.org/2024/01/04/t…

"School streets" are one of those concepts that sounds kind of whatever, but is actually a total game changer when you see it in action (like this incredible installation in @CityofTirana, in partnership with @Qendra_M). 🧵

Fentiman Road in Lambeth's Oval LTN has been absolutely transformed. New planting & SUDS, seating, bike parking. Looks fantastic.
Great work @lambeth_council @RezinaChowdhury @clairekholland

Lots of fun in Tyre designing streets for kids and planning a space transformation outside a school with the students, @The_ChainEffect, and Tyre Municipality 💚 Planting, painting, seating, crossings, play and much more! Thanks to @GlobalStreets for the excitement & support 🌞

Amazing to see the complete transformation of this school street in Paris from a narrow road clogged with car parking in 2020 to a beautiful, green public space in 2022. A few nice examples of this in London, but we definitely need more permanent school street transformations!!
With a nice chain effect wall at the back!
This morning, I participated in a bicycle group ride organised by @Wavebike_Lb. The group rides help cyclists getting accustomed to cycling in Beiruti traffic. Cycling is a state if mind. I feel safe and comfortable on my bike in Beirut. And had a fun morning.
