Carfree City
|
Link | 2003-06-19 | 2003-07-05 | |
| Goal: To construct a carfree city or district within a city in the United States of a sufficient size that its residents can conduct most of their daily activities without having to use or be exposed to automobiles. This would be approximately equivalent to one "district" in the Carfree Cities book (12,000 people, 120 developed acres, 120 open-space acres). Specific goals of this website are: * To demonstrate to lending institutions and decision-makers that there is a large number of people actively interested in creating and living in a carfree city * To provide a mechanism for those people to have input to the location and design of the carfree city * To develop methods for overcoming logistical, regulatory, legal, financial and cultural obstacles to carfree development in the United States | |||||

raging bike

Link | 2003-06-19 | 2003-06-19 | |
| Raging Bike measures individual cyclists contribution to the environment, the money they save and the calories they burn, by choosing to cycle rather than taking a car or bus. * As bike commuters for many years, we got sick of car drivers cutting us up, using bike lanes, general abuse, and the treatment of cyclists as second class road users. When we got to work we would find that venting our frustration to our colleagues (in the main car drivers) provoked little sympathy. Hence the rage corner were devised as a harmless catharthis for our fury. Please post your experiences! | |||||

| The automobile has an exciting history but now it is time to ask ourselves questions. * Has the automobile outlived its purpose? * Is it costing this earth or your country too much? Your neighbors? You? * How long will we continue pay the huge price we've been paying in order to hold onto our vehicles? * Would you be willing to give up your car? Why or why not? | |||||

Institute for Transportation & Development Policy
|
Link | 2003-06-19 | 2003-06-19 | |
| The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) was set up in 1985, to promote environmentally sustainable and equitable transportation policies and projects worldwide. ITDP was organized by leading advocates for sustainable transport in the US who realized that the US was exporting its model of automobile dependence to developing countries and, most recently, Central and Eastern Europe. ITDP chose to focus on counteracting this development. | |||||

vision42: auto-free light rail boulevard for 42nd street
|
Link | 2003-06-18 | 2004-06-24 | |
| Roxanne asked me to add this for her: <blockquote>I'm chair of a group called vision42, a unit of the Institute for Rational Urban Mobility here in NYC, which, for nearly 4 years, has been advancing a proposal to convert 42nd Street into a river-to-river, auto-free light rail boulevard, with landscaping, outdoor restaurants and cafes, and other pedestrian amenities. We've made 102 presentations of the proposal to date, to nearly universally warm receptions. It's a bit of a heavy political lift in this town, but we are persisting.</blockquote> June 2004-- Roxanne sent in the following update: <blockquote>Thanks very much for putting this on the web. You might want to update it, though. We've now made 155 presentations, and have been working on this for nearly five years. Three technical studies are underway, by highly qualified consultants, on the plan's economic potential, an traffic analysis, and a cost estimate. There's more about these studies on the website, www.vision42.org, where you can click on "What's New!":http://vision42.org/www/whats_new/whats_new.htm to read about them. </blockquote> | |||||

Culture Change (Sustainable Energy Institute)

Link | 2003-06-13 | 2003-06-13 | |
| The new Daniel Quinn / Ishmael -inspired web site of the Sustainable Energy Institute. Alliance for a Paving Moratorium was an earlier project of SEI, as was a "Fossil Fuel Free Farm." Randy Ghent, a main force behind Carbusters, once worked for SEI/APM. I visited Jan Lundberg and the FFFF in Arcata, California, USA, in 1998. Bill Le Bon was the main employee at the time. Perhaps because of Carbusters' lineage, could be considered a grandmother of the carfree movement. | |||||
