Redesigning city streets to support human behavior isn't rocket science. But it does take a willingness to challenge the status quo assumptions about public space. ๐Ÿ“น Transport Infrastructure Ireland

A bike-lane moved 2.5X as many people as a regular traffic lane in a @TFL study, & given that they are half the width, the study concluded that bike-lanes are 5X as efficient as vehicle traffic lanes. HT @urbanthoughts11 Mobility in cities is about space.

Update: We've developed a simple R package for clustering desire lines (origin-destination flows). The package is designed to group these spatial flows using a distance metric from the literature...

Voronoi polygons that dynamically re-draw in-browser as you drag markers around your @Mapbox map. All with R code. This was a fun one to put together, so I'm sharing the code here for you to try: https://t.co/sS5ieTewN5 #rstats #gis #spatialanalysis

An intriguing point at the intersection of #geocomputation and #transportplanning: the intricacy of three-dimensional transport networks means that certain paths from point A to point B become MultiLinestrings when converted to two-dimensional formats: https://t.co/hgjTAmifCA

It's well-known that the rightly popular/ubiquitous version control software Git is good for tracking changes in computer code. But did you know that it's also an outstanding tool for tracking changes in natural language/prose? Source: https://t.co/TMVIjp9Fyv
