There's lots of lessons that can be taken from this -- here's just one:
Folks who live in areas with less traffic enjoy it, and think more of our city should be made to be that way.
Government should seen this as a green light to limit traffic as best they can.

That doesn't just mean low traffic neighbourhoods. It means more cycle lanes, better walking infrastructure, greater investment in public transportation, incentives for folks to give up their private cars.
Because people who live in areas without these interventions clearly don't believe that another way is possible.
When your streets are rammed with traffic, when walking or riding a bike seems like a death wish, you can't imagine yourself ever being safe or happy doing it.

A year ago I would have said that I would *never* feel safe cycling in London -- no matter what infrastructure existed.
And then the low traffic neighbourhood came, the cars stopped dominating the roads, and I got on a damn bike.

This data shows that when people experience change, they believe in that change.
So let's get that experience to as many folk as we can.
