Sites and suggestions from PT readers:
Paul Krueger recommends this site for an animated overview of the Big Dig and Boston’s evolving shoreline. Also check out the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy’s flash website, “Beyond the Roads“.
Keith F sends along a gallery of images – one of his recent walks through Surrey – along with an index of other tours through the region: http://www.keeferstreet.com. Keith has the right idea for urban exploration: choose a route, take a camera, learn through clicking.
David Pritchard notes that this issue of Spacing – Toronto’s excellent urban design magazine – has two interesting links: a video of Portland cycling and a big report on cycling policies and facilities in Copenhagen from a Seattle planner, Alyse Nelson.
Also, a map showing all the bike parking places at each station in the Munich subway. Now that’s taking the bike seriously.
Brent Toderian, Vancouver’s Planning Director, sends this link to a panel he was on in October for the New York-based Forum on Urban Design. The subject: What Makes A Healthy Downtown?
