NYC doesn't have year-round outdoor dining. And it is just a shame and an error. We went to Washington, DC which is one of many places that has kept outdoor dining to see how it is working.

A few years back, London’s Church Street installed measures to keep thru traffic off of their high (or business) street. The key to the success is a bus gate at either end that only allows bus traffic from 7am to 7pm daily. Plus numerous modal filters as you approach Church. And all of them are enforced by cameras.

Everytime I visit the nation's capital, I love that daylighting is everywhere. I started seeing so much beauty and color that I sought out a few folks who could tell me about how it came about, how intersections are safer with it and the meaning behind a few of the murals.

While I was in Washington, DC for the NACTO Conference, I was told by many residents to go check out the art along the 15th street protected 2-way bike lane to celebrate World Pride DC 2025. Now you can watch via my montage!

New Yorkers commuting, running, walking & exercising over the Queensborough Bridge have been advocating for separate paths on the span for nearly 10 years. On Sunday, May 18th, 2025 they finally got their wish

There may not be a video quite like this, riding down Third Avenue - one of Manhattan's best double-wide, protected bike lanes - I got footage from many angles to show daylighting in action including pedestrian, driver, bicyclist and even the daylighting itself!

This is my 1,111th Streetfilm!

See what it is like to live and visit Ghent, Belgium. Thanks to the Traffic Circulation Plan implemented in 2019 the city is safer to get around by bike, foot & transit, it’s quieter, less pollution and now more trips are made by bike in city center versus vehicles.

To continue to support the great news of Congestion Pricing’s overwhelming success, Transportation Alternatives held a dance off near Columbus Circle.

Come along for our exploration investigation in to why uninformed and unenlightened New York residents (who essentially do not like Citi bikes) believe posting one photo of a Citi bike dock equals to them that the station is not in use. Of course, that is totally ridiculous.!

On Saturday hundreds of angry New Yorkers came out to tell President Trump and his Transportation Secretary that Congestion Pricing is here and we cannot go back to the way before when the city was choked with traffic.

Daylighting is fun! And especially if you properly protect the corners on the intersections you install it. Come listen to our "Streetfilms team" as these "experts" tell us how they would "grade" the conditions on the streets of NYC! (Wink. Wink.)

Open Plans works directly with schools to make their school street dreams a reality! Wondering how this program can work for your community? Or not sure you have the resources to submit an application? We’re here to help.

Advocates and communities around the world have been talking about Paris School Streets not only because they make streets safer on those blocks for kids but by the swift and ample number Paris is implementing. A defining film hadn't been produced by any entity, so Streetfilms set out to change that with an excellent tool to enlighten & inspire.

Transportation Alternatives held yet another rally and march across the south outer roadway of the Queensboro Bridge path after NYC DOT failed for the 5th time to meet their set date to open it to peds, walkers & runners.

Streetopia Upper West Side's vision for West 72nd Street includes some core ideas like bus priority lanes, connecting Central & Riverside Parks with safe bike lanes, more space for pedestrians to sit and relax and repurposing the curb for deliveries.
