"If something that used to be a normal childhood activity is now seen as so dangerous that parents who let their sons walk … are considered felons, the problem is not just with how we enforce our laws but also with how we allow cars to define how we live".

This morning it took 16 minutes to travel from DMCC to Business Bay on bus no. 91, compared to the 24 min it takes to complete the same journey by metro. Imagine the kind of service @rta_dubai could offer through a BRT with passing lanes and express services on Sheikh Zayed Rd.

On the way to the workshop it was great to see the initial attempts to develop NMT facilities in Academic City. Allowing residential uses could make the area more vibrant and reduce commute times for students.

Dear @rta_dubai, this median pedestrian signal button at Al Manara St and D94 is not working. In addition, we have a number of cars obstructing the sidewalks along D94. Would you be able to have a look?
