Q&A: Transpo prof talks NYC vs. Bay Area
In a Q&A article, Center for Urban Science + Progress Faculty Fellow Marcel Moran compares street infrastructure in New York, San Francisco, and Paris. While praising NYC's extensive subway system and camera enforcement, he suggests SF has made better progress on outdoor dining and slow streets. He emphasizes the importance of using permanent materials over plastic barriers, noting "San Francisco must move away from soft-hit-post-and-paint-only daylighting. That's just inadequate for driver behavior." The cities face similar challenges in expanding infrastructure to residential areas.
