6 years ago: went to a public consultation about changing the road layout to include a new cycle path. Suggested adding a pedestrian crossing too where I’d always felt one was missing.
Today: used the new pedestrian crossing for the first time 🎉
The new cycle path is great too 😊

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath
