Bike Lane in New York City

Time for a Street Renaissance! (Video)

Complete Streets Are About More Than Just Bike Lanes
This great video is a bit longer than what our friends at Streetfilms usually produce (it's about 11 minutes long), but it's worth watching. It shows how a "complete" street isn't just about adding a bike lane, but rather about making it function for the community - the people who live and work there and those who pass through - and keeping people safe. On one level it's about the transformation of New York City, but on another, it's about lessons that can be applied anywhere. Via Streetfilms.
