Pedestrianization is often framed as transforming streets. In many cases, we're actually restoring them. We're reclaiming what's been lost: social connection, local commerce, civic life, and human-scale movement. Perhaps it's time to shift from street transformation to street restoration.

The European promenade, the bourgeois evening paseo stroll are lovely but @jeffspeck.bsky.social wld urge caution. If your downtown street has lost diverse social and economic dynamism, the problem may not be cars. There’s wisdom still in Jane Jacob’s four generators of diversity.
