Volunteer Linda Fisher, 68, discovered the hub two years ago when she was 'socially isolated' and said the garden 'will be an ice-breaker for people walking past'.

"We started Wild Cities because urban nature must be restored for people, for wildlife, and for the future. A coalition model lets us work at the scale the challenge demands, celebrating communities and helping people and ecosystems become more connected and resilient."

"We're looking at quite large new numbers of residents that will be in this part of town. And the decision was made that we need to connect those parts of town across the water to downtown, but that we need to do it in a way that won't increase congestion."

Since the city removed one vehicle traffic lane in each direction in favor of a parking-protected bike lane between Calyer Street and Meeker Avenue in 2024, the boulevard has seen more cyclists, fewer vehicles and slightly-slower travel times.

The Thompson Elk is downtown Portland's talisman, and a hopeful sign for the future after years of post-pandemic struggle.

Ken Podziba, Bike New York's president and CEO, emphasized that the Five Boro Bike Tour is not a race, but an opportunity to see New York City on two wheels. He stated, 'You ride across the five bridges, and you see the skyline in front of you. You're experiencing it at street level.'

"This project is symbolic of what we've done over the last 12 years, reshaping the streets and the city," Christophe Najovski, the city's deputy mayor in charge of green spaces, stated during the opening ceremony.

The windows are so dark now, I can't see anything inside. No more eye contact. No more silent acknowledgment that I exist.

Missouri is the most populous state without a statewide active transportation plan, despite nearly one-third of its residents lacking a driver's license and alarming fatality rates among vulnerable road users.

Hundreds of preventable fatalities and more than 13 million metric tons of climate pollution would be avoided by 2045 if Congress passed legislation that answered advocates' long- time demand to require state DOTs to set declining annual fatality targets - and reallocate highway money to safety projects if they don't meet those goals, according to a new analysis from Evergreen Action.

In the 1950s, the Air Force designed cockpits for the average pilot by measuring thousands of pilots and calculating the average for ten key physical dimensions-height, arm length, torso size, etc. They assumed most pilots would be close to average in most dimensions. When researchers actually checked, they found that out of 4,063 pilots, exactly zero were average on all ten dimensions.

The Wildcat Canyon Flow Trail would be located in the western portion of the park, north of Wildcat Creek Trail on a hillside near the Mezue Road intersection. It would feature rollers, essentially speed bumps meant to slow bikes, jumps, berms and turnout areas to keep riders from skidding off. The proposed trail would be up to 4-feet-wide with an average grade of 5 to 7%.

If you could have a trail that went through Warren County and connected with a trail that goes up to Tahawus, then you could connect that to the Albany trail, and you could go all the way from New York City on a multi purpose trail into the heart of the Adirondacks, which would be pretty cool.

Leading the pack is the Blackhead Range Traverse via Kaaterskill Falls in Haines Falls, with a near-perfect 94.14 score. The two-tiered waterfall, tucked into the eastern Catskill Mountains, has long been a favorite for painters and hikers. Now cyclists are getting in on the action. In fact, Kaaterskill routes appear four times in the top ten, as the dramatic cascade regularly stops riders in their tracks.
