Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

DC Department of Transportation Bicycling and Pedestrian TV ads

From Washcycle:

London ran a successful marketing campaign to encourage cycling that included TV ads. DDOT has put together it's own set of TV PSAs and they're really cool. To see them, go here, and click (try twice) on the up arrow on the bottom right of the screen. This should bring up a playlist. There are three PSAs listed under "district department of transportation psa."

The commercials are pretty good. If they would also put them on youtube, then people could put them up in blogs and websites.
Video screen at Verizon CenterI would like to see some time on this video screen at Verizon Center on 7th Street NW allocated to quality public service advertisements such as the bicycling ads mentioned above. And other venues should be utilized as well, such as DC government websites.
