Streetmix – A fun little urban design playground
- kfarr 5y agoIf you like streetmix you might also like https://3d.st https://3d.st a related project I've been working on. Also shout out to this amazing project too https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet
- Animats 5y agoOnce you get rid of the bike lanes and the transit shelter, you can get four traffic lanes and two parking lanes in there.
- was_a_dev 5y agoHuh, my first instinct was to remove further traffic lanes and add in a second dedicated bike lane
- wiz21c 5y agoit's difficult to adjust the width of sidewalk, roads, etc.

- jspash 5y agoI was hoping to get a "score" on my design.
- Daneel_ 5y agoSimilar - I was looking for the "Run simulation" button or similar. This seems like something that could be really fun to gamify.
- kfarr 5y agoYou might want to checkout A/B Street which is an agent simulator. https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet
- airza 5y agoI highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/c/NotJustBikes https://www.youtube.com/c/NotJustBikes if you are interested in learning more about this type of road design. It was really illuminating about some of the endemic problems with urban design in the US.
- prennert 5y agoHow do I "learn how all of this can impact your community"? I can change the street layout and it looks pretty. Fair enough. But what tells me how my design impacts the number of shops and accessibly for the elderly and children, air quality, etc?
- Tade0 5y agoForget all that - what about giving access to the garbage truck? I lived in a city the centre of which was "walkable" - one often overlooked issue in such places is that there are no adequate garbage containers, so you have to keep all your waste until it's garbage day. And you'd better not miss garbage day - especially with organic waste during the summer - maggots appear after about 2-3 days.
- euroderf 5y agoWhat if part of the garbage truck's work was putting all the organic waste into each neighborhood's composter AND TENDING to it ? Sanitation workers with some training should have much more success at composting than Joe Schmoe. Use the compost in each neighborhood's parks. No other recyclable has this element of neighborhood reusability AFAICT.
- kfarr 5y agoSome of the value statement around community impact is done in-person or through outreach leveraging the tools from Streetmix. Other projects such as 3DStreet and A/B Street that I posted in another thread are also working on downstream impact of street configuration changes on quality of life. In A/B Street they work on the cascading effects of the change on other transportation users on surrounding routes. In 3DStreet we are working on impact for noise and pedestrian safety conditions using XR tools.
- tmcw 5y agoOne of my favorite projects, and a great example of how to use technology to help people understand and participate in street design decisions!
- lizbarry 5y agoThis is so well done!
