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.

Today is the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (November 21st)

One of the many days focusing on an important issue that I didn't know about.  

-- organization website

Will calls our attention to a WTOP-AM story, "DC area to observe Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims," about activities in DC around recognizing traffic deaths.  According to the article there has been a display this week at Union Station, put up by DC Families for Safe Streets (blog entry).

-- "Open Streets DC as an event versus an agenda"
-- "Revisiting Vision Zero in DC and NYC"

DC Families for Safe Streets is an affiliate of another organization I didn't know about the national organization, Families for Safe Streets.

Sadly ironic that yesterday Waukesha Wisconsin had an SUV plow into a crowd at a parade, killing 5 and injuring 40.
