There is a new confidence crossing the Albert Park 2/7
whether people are jogging or walking a dog, Highbury Hill is less dominated by SUVs. 3/7
And Avenell Road is fun to ride down - especially if you are out with friends. 4/7
Taking a call while going to the shops on Plimsoll road feels safe. 5/7
Of course there is work to do.... Road closures from over a decade ago prevent mobility scooters, wheel-chairs and cargo bikes from using some roads. 6/7
But this is the scene outside the Arsenal.
It is a powerful sign of hope.... that this community are on the right track.
As I said ...don’t focus on a few cars u-turning.
Watch how people walk in the street. It means they are not scared of cars. 7/7
