#Mobility #SafeStreets #MrBarricade Cities and municipalities and working to do more with the acres of space they own as 'streets' to make them more than simply a thoroughfare for cars. @MrBarricade aka Vignesh Swaminathan uses modern design methods like Tactical Urbanism & Quick-Build techniques to speed and humanize projects for the people who'll live in them. @MrBarricade's mission is much more than bringing a smile or pointing out a protected path, Vignesh is all about teaching members of the community how to use the tools of local government, to learn the language, attend the meeting, join the councils and commissions, and drive change in more than safe streets. In this far-ranging conversation, from the Highway Capacity Manual circa 1965 and 'Level of Service' to the reprioritized thinking in 'VMT Vehicle Miles Traveled', Tactical Urbanism and Dutch design. From Curb management to PEVs. And lots of references to Janette Sadik-Khan. I learned a lot. Hope you do to. Thanks Vignesh Let's go ride!
