There are many different definitions of a walkable environment. Here’s mine.

Sprawl isn’t just happening with regard to our metro areas, it’s happening within our own homes. Clearly, we are a nation moving farther apart in every way.

We spent more time in the backseats of cars at a time when traffic congestion was the highest... it’s not wonder we want our cities to look more like the college campuses

Legal right-on-reds on our American roads become a federal allowance in the 1970s as a result of the oil shortage. It’s time to make this unsafe practice illegal once again

I’m learning how to ride a skateboard. It’s given me a new perspective on why we should be patient with bikes and scooters on the sidewalk!

Our cities have work to do... but there’s nothing wrong with looking at the powerfully positive things we have accomplished

Bike organizations and active cyclists try to educate drivers on how to share the road with cyclists. But are they educating drivers on WHY people bike in the first place?

Scooter share is coming to Rochester as soon as this summer. What should we expect?

Summer 2019 will lead the UP down the path of multi-media as I attempt to show you why I love city living

When a business closes due to lack of patronage, who deserves the blame? When people want transit but no one uses it, who should be on the hook!?

City Streets Or Highways: Which Would You Remove?

Urbanists aren’t against cars. We are against an America in which the most expensive form of transportation is actively subsidized about all else

Small town Main Streets are great, but here’s where they differ from Urban Neighborhoods

Blaming political movements does nothing for our cities. Get involved and activate something positive

In 2018, two-thirds of Rochester’s bike share fleet was stolen. What does that say about our city and our city’s ability to move forward?

The Urban Phoenix has morphed and adapted in its 4 years of existence. In 2019, we will talk a great deal about the relationships we have with our cities. We will talk more about social capital, and the ups and downs of our own connections with our urban environments
