#safe-streets

Using parody lyrics, lots of Yuletide spirit and, of course, plenty of egg nog, these flamboyant flâneurs make a serious point about New York's sclerotic roadways: they don't have to be dangerous places for kids and lungs, but can be joyous spaces for people to walk around, shop, eat or just ... flâneur. So enjoy some of that seasonal spunk that the carolers spread all over 34th Avenue in Queens last week by singing along to these songs:

If you have a car, you end up driving everywhere because you're on a track of having to move your car. You use it to drive to work because you have to move it anyway.

Piloting safe streets projects can help cities overcome public opposition or cease projects early, a study finds. Now is a crucial time for trial runs.
