Urban, pedestrian-centric, mixed-use streets

Steve Pinkus, an urban transportation planner and occasional correspondent to this blog, has resurfaced and he sent me a number of photos, including Amsterdam, Manayunk in Philadelphia, and Washington Avenue in Hoboken, New Jersey (which has a more middle-market feel compared to Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn).

Amsterdam.

Manayunk.

Washington Avenue, Hoboken.

Now that he has resurfaced, I hope he'll send more photos our way. Steve has the honor of witnessing my first Main Street presentation back in July 2002--it was more like a graduate school seminar lecture (I've gotten better since)--plus he was the one who recommended to me the great book, Steve Belmont's Cities in Full.
