Do you ever feel that cars might get too much road space?
Snow patterns reveal vehicle & pedestrian travel paths, highlighting paved areas that are unused by cars and could create better public spaces! This beautiful photo gallery from "this old city" shares some fantastic examples from Philadelphia's streetscape this winter.
Observing and designing from travel patterns like these is also known as "sneckdown" (a blend of "snow" and "neckdown," a term for curb expansion) design. Even though Portalnd doesn't frequently get very much snow, this can be a fun lens to look through while exploring the city in this weekend's snowy conditions.
