Streets that put people first, not cars Jonathan Berk © Shawmut
Over the past year COVID-19 has forced dramatic changes in our communities, especially when it comes to outdoor public places. Gyms moved fitness classes into parks. Retailers found new opportunities for “sidewalk sales.” Restaurants claimed parking spaces and roadways for outdoor dining service. And in the process, we’ve sensed how much better our cities and local economies can be after the pandemic.
We hear less traffic on city streets and are exposed to lower levels of harmful pollutants. And we’ve gained an entirely new way of thinking about space in our cities and towns.

A grassroots advocacy group in Pittsburgh recently managed to drive a large stake through the heart of a proposal for a transportation corridor that would rely on autonomous shuttles.
But killing one ill-conceived micromobility project doesn’t mean that micromobility is a bad idea. On the contrary, the growth of on-demand minibus service and electric-powered personal transport shows that it has a promising future ahead of it. New York City is taking another step into that future with the arrival of the city’s first e-scooter sharing network in a section of the Bronx.
Meanwhile, on the macromobility front, one of the commuter rail services that got sidelined by COVID-19, New Mexico’s Rail Runner, will resume service between New Mexico’s largest city, its suburbs and its state capital this month, and San Diego reached an environmental milestone last month when it retired the last of its diesel buses.
