I'm getting married
This weekend, I'm getting married. I'll also be lightening up my work on Greater Greater Washington starting today, to devote time to getting ready for the wedding. We'll be away on our honeymoon (in Curaçao) for a week, then light posting through the end of the following week.
In the meantime, however, you should be well entertained. Your intrepid team of contributors has graciously agreed to help fill in. Jaime will be our guest editor to keep an eye on things. Cavan, Stephen and Steve have already written many excellent posts, and they and others will contribute more. I've pre-loaded some posts as well.
Joey Katzen will be doing the links periodically; please help him out by submitting tips. Kent will continue to provide his excellent historic perspectives. Finally, we'll continue posting some of Sarah Goodyear's Streetsblog Network roundups and Elana Schor's national transportation coverage. They'll be helping to fill the space while I'm away. Enjoy, and when I return we'll discuss how often to continue posting those on an ongoing basis.

Smart Growth
Add jobs, retail, and housing for all income levels in walkable places like
Wisconsin Avenue, Brookland, and Minnesota-
Transit
Provide more alternatives to driving by expanding Metro capacity, building streetcar lines, and speeding up buses. Grow ridership through better maps and schedules from signs to mobile devices. Read posts »
Public Space
Our roadways are our most valuable public places. Design them to accommodate safe walking and bicycling. Locate plazas and public parks to create numerous focal points for human activity. Read posts »
Traffic
Design neighborhoods around grids instead of cul-de-sacs. Avoid building new freeways or widening existing ones which only induces further sprawl. Read posts »
Parking
Drivers create substantial traffic by circling endlessly for scarce parking. Use pricing to manage curb space and dedicate the revenue to providing alternatives to driving. Read posts »
Architecture
Preserve our row house neighborhoods and beautiful architecture that engages pedestrians visually and functionally. Eschew bad modernism that turns its back on the street and the starchitects that peddle it to "make a statement." Read posts »
Education & Safety
Make our urban areas desirable places for people and families of all ages with the highest quality education and safe neighborhoods for all. Read posts »
