Via the Neigbourhoods blog I found a new website from Transport 2000 called New life for Main Roads
Main roads are often noisy, polluted places, dominated by cars and dangerous for people on foot. But main roads are also the places we use to get to the shops, catch the bus, walk to the local park or visit the doctor. Most people use main roads every day to get to work or to walk to school. We need new life for our main roads! Main roads and high streets should be:* Easy to cross where you want to cross
* Places for people
* Safe from traffic danger
* Green, clean and attractive
Material is still being added, including in September photographs which can be used to support local action.
I don't know why we make such a mess of our public spaces. Most of Europe seems to do infinitely better than we do. Look at the Project for Public Spaces website for lots of good examples
