And it's really interesting the way that you have put people in front of the camera who are, you know, not just... people who have government titles and so forth, but just regular folks all over the world who have insisted on a better place for themselves and made it happen.
Episode 17: From Bogotá to New York City: Clarence Eckerson Jr. on What Cities Around the World Are Doing for People and Streets

Emily WeidenhofHOST
So what are some of your favorite, uh, pedestrian and, and cyclist, uh, improvements that you're seeing in, uh, London right now?
12:11
Well, London is really big on not only bicycle lanes and bike, bikeways.
12:18
They, they used to call them bike superhighways, but now they've-Term that down to some other different options.
12:24
And they're doing the same thing with something called low traffic neighborhoods, uh, LTNs for short, and they're also renaming those a little bit.
12:32
But essentially, a low traffic neighborhood is you take a grid of streets and you find a way to keep the traffic on the exterior of that neighborhood, and that's called a boundary r- boundary road.
12:43
The boundary road is designed so that it will take this traffic, but a lot of people are complaining that live on the boundary road, "Well, you know, I don't want the traffic." But the truth is, is when you look at the studies that have been shown, uh, the, the traffic within the neighborhoods reduces greatly, but the traffic on the boundary roads does not.

Emily WeidenhofHOST
Are there other more specific things that you've filmed internationally that you would love to see New York City bring to our streets?
