Treehugger Names Streetsblog Best Green Transportation Advocacy

By Clarence Eckerson, Jr., writing for Streetsblog San Francisco

Wow! We are honored. Treehugger blogs dozens of green-goings-on throughout the U.S. and the world everyday (so many some say it is hard to read them all!) We get regularly featured with some of our posts and films and we are very thankful. But even more exciting is the fact that Streetfilms, Streetsblog and the Livable Streets Initiative were chosen Best Green Transportation Advocacy in their First Annual "Best of Green" selections this week. Lots of great awards in there besides us, and thanks to Treehugger as our numbers are huge this week.

Please take a second to VOTE FOR US by following this link.

GOOD news about Livable Streets

by Vanessa Hamer

Livable Streets are a GOOD (as in, the magazine) thing:

Streets can and must be more than just a place for the movement and storage of private motor vehicles. The urban street of the 21st century will be a “complete street,” accommodating pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders alike. At the Livable Streets Initiative we are helping citizens re-envision streets as great public spaces. Take, for example, the busy intersection of Amsterdam Avenue and West 76th Street in Manhattan.
