In a place like New Albany, one simply must continue making the same basic point over, and over, and over again, as here, in this (ongoing) history lesson: Case Study: Reclaim the Streets.
Reclaim the streets - your road belongs to you and your neighbours, by Finlay MacNab (Guardian)
Streets make up 80% of the accessible open space in our towns and cities; we need to take back these spaces for our communities
The streets belong to you. Yes, you. I’m talking to you – the parent, the child, the homeowner, the dog walker. They’re not just for that hotted up racer or family station wagon. They’re not meant to be dedicated to traffic jams and speeding traffic. They’re for you.
Streets make up 80% of the accessible open space in our towns and cities and offer huge potential as a community resource, as a place to meet our neighbours, a place to socialise and play. In other countries around the world, people feel comfortable using their streets in the same way we use the local park or playground.
