After drivers killed one teen on a bike, and critically injured another, on Long Avenue in Portage Park, it's now a safer Neighborhood Greenway - Streetsblog Chicago
Why is this in c/upliftingnews ? Its rather depressing that we are unable to build safe neighbourhoods without having to kill eachother.
it is uplifting in the sense that it is changing for better. It this does not feel uplifting with this wording though. It is "brutally" honest. I am iffy on removing this one
"Uplift" means to raise the level of; improve; cause one to feel optimism
Here a dangerous street has been improved by converting it into a neighborhood greenway. It is a well-known fact that there are already a lot of dangerous streets in the world, but I feel optimistic that more and more cities are rethinking the way they build their thoroughfares and are shifting to safer, more human-focused designs.
I feel the same. It’s like reading “person struck down in their prime has park bench named after them”.
