Podcasts about sidewalks

Originally aired July 28, 2025 (Season 16, Episode 8) Our story tonight is called Sidewalk Chalk, and it's a story about a journey through the park on a bright day. It's also about a cold drink from the coffee shop, a frog blinking from a pond, Alice and the Caterpillar, birch trees and drawings on the sidewalk, and paying more attention when small happy moments wash over you.

The entire Nelson family become captivated by a construction project and try sidewalk superintending. - Originally aired November 16, 1951

Send us a text and chime in!Starting Monday, July 13, 2026, crews will begin installing a new sidewalk along the east side of Cattletrack Drive, stretching from Yucca Drive to Roundup Drive, with an extension west toward Viewpoint Drive to enhance neighborhood connectivity. The project will also include the installation of curb and gutter, asphalt patching and resurfacing, drainage improvements, and the placement of three new fire hydrants. Work is anticipated to continue through mid‑December. Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid delays. Northbound traffic on Cattletrack Drive will be blocked, and alternate routes will include Roundup Drive to Viewpoint Drive to...   For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/cattletrack-drive-sidewalk-project-begins-in-prescott-valley/ Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

In most parts of the United States and elsewhere, sidewalks exist in a legal grey area. They are public spaces that, at least when it comes to things such as maintenance and snow removal, are largely the responsibility of private property owners. They are subject to all manner of laws that govern what kinds of activities can take place on them, laws that change not just from city to city, but sometimes from neighborhood to neighborhood, block to block, and address to address. They are also an important part of the transportation network and a key component in the effort to keep pedestrians safe, although certainly not a panacea, even in rural areas. Michael Pollack, the author of an excellent new book, Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource, thinks that sidewalks need a whole lot more consideration in legal and governing circles, and even goes so far as to advocate for the creation of a Department of Sidewalks that can cut through the rather opaque rules that govern these narrow strips of concrete. (Or other materials, given that many sidwalks are often governmed by historic preservation laws.) ***For an extended, ad-free version of this episode featuring a bonus conversation about sidewalk delivery robots, become a Patreon supporter of The War on Cars.*** SHOW NOTES: Buy Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resourc and support independent booksellers at our official Bookshop.org page.

When Washington state asked which residents had access to frequent transit, it ran into a surprisingly basic problem: that question is hard to answer without knowing where sidewalks, crossings and curb ramps actually are. Dr. Anat Caspi, director of the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology at the University of Washington, joins the show to talk about Open Sidewalks, a project that helps communities map pedestrian infrastructure in a shared, usable format. Her team has mapped hundreds of thousands of sidewalks, and now residents can help add the local details that determine whether a route actually works in daily life.

Denver voters approved a tax hike in 2022 to fund much-needed sidewalk repairs, and after a lot of back-and-forth from City Council, those repairs are finally underway. Not only do sidewalks make pedestrian life safer and urban transit more accessible, but they are also an important indicator of a healthy city.

He was blind. He was self-taught. And for nearly thirty years he stood on a sidewalk on 6th Avenue in Manhattan dressed like a Viking — cloak, horned helmet, spear — while the city hurried past and called him a curiosity.His name was Moondog. What almost no one rushing by understood was that the man on the corner was a serious composer, building orchestral works in his head and on paper, year after year, whether or not anyone stopped to listen.This week on The Mortals, I tell his story — and what a man who wrote symphonies on a street corner can teach the rest of us about mortality, dignity, and refusing to die with the music still inside you. Make the work while you're still here to make it. Don't wait for the room to understand you first.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Ep 265 “Still Thinking About Sidewalk Safety?” – National Gun Violence Awareness Month (Bullet Poof Bulletins) Celebrating the launch of eco-fiction anti-gun novella Bullet Poof and National Gun Violence Awareness Month, Avis Kalfsbeek brings back beloved Kitty O'Compost with the Bullet Poof Bulletins. Tonight on the Spoke-Easy stage, Kitty O'Compost tackles the predatory world of digital e-commerce algorithms targeting suburban anxiety. This bulletin satirizes a hyper-aggressive "Cart Abandonment" email campaign that uses dark-pattern marketing tactics and dynamic discount codes to sell a synthetic sense of tactical authority to an isolated HOA board member. Inspired by the protective, community-centered themes of Bullet Poof, this episode dismantles the commercialization of mundane neighborhood power struggles and points us back to the grounding, real-world fulfillment found in shared creative spaces. Resources: Bullet Poof is a hopeful eco-fiction novella about what happens when ordinary people refuse to accept the gun status quo.

Episode 121 with Harry Meadley, skateboarder and artist from Leeds, England.Together we discussed his life and career, from growing up in Leeds where he picked up his first board in his early teen years; quickly becoming very embedded in the Leeds skate scene through starting his website “Don't mess with Yorkshire”, and writing for Sidewalk magazine; going to art school as a young adult and for quite some time keeping his skate and art life separate, with skateboarding eventually taking a step back; in the late 2010's reconnecting with skateboarding, even filming his first full video part at 35 years old for Joe Allen's “Pétanque”; finally bringing his two worlds together, in 2023, by developing Civic Skateboarding, a skateboarding arts festival in Leeds that focused on making street skating more inclusive for marginalized skaters; to successfully completing a PhD in socially engaged skateboarding in 2025 and much more through surprise questions from friends of his.(00:13) – Intro (01:25) – Rachel Meadley(06:23) – Lucy Evans(13:14) – Tom Brown(21:28) – Ben Powell(25:08) – Farran Golding(34:24) – Joe Allen(44:21) – Indigo Willing(49:11) – Lee Dubin(52:05) – Laura Long (01:03:14) – Chris Lawton(01:13:54) – Sarah Oglesby (01:21:46) – Jack Lovell(01:25:48) – Gerard Roberts(01:32:17) – Ruby McMullen(01:34:24) – James Kelly(01:35:34) – Tom Meadley(01:40:41) – Natalie Porter(01:46:05) – Brian Glenney(02:04:53) – Esther Sayers(02:09:37) – Paul O'Connor(02:12:35) – Sean Ashton (02:17:01) – Izzy Almond(02:18:43) – ConclusionFor more information and resources: https://linktr.ee/beyondboardsHosted on Ausha.

People in Seattle took more than 10.5 million e-scooter and e-bike trips last year. But scooters can be a risky choice. Harborview treated 163 serious injuries from e-scooters or e-bikes in 2024. Recently, Seattle began requiring companies to use technology to prevent people from riding on the sidewalk. To learn more about injury prevention, we talk with UW epidemiology professor Steve Mooney, who's studied injuries involving micromobility devices.

This week on Right to Life Radio, John and Jonathan break down California's primary election results and what they mean for the pro-life movement heading into November. They take some humorous jabs at Tom Steyer's record-breaking cost-per-vote campaign, dig into the top-two showdown between Steve Hilton and Javier Becerra, and discuss how California's extended ballot-counting process impacts close races. In the second half, they welcome Linda Talia for "Stories from the Sidewalk," exploring the troubling intersections of abortion, coercion, and sex trafficking outside local clinics, along with the reality behind the "pro-choice" narrative.  

Tonight, on this explosive episode of Light ‘Em Up.If you are hearing this episode, it is a miracle from God. Believe me!About a week ago with no advanced warning, we suffered the most serious catastrophic equipment failure that we've ever experienced — thanks to Windows 11. The Security settings on Windows 11 cancelled our access to our “drivers” which support our show. We scrambled; we researched the problem day and night, tried one of everything and troubleshot the issue until we were asleep on our feet.Long story short, we're back!  Bill Gates can't keep a good show down!Tonight, we focus our investigative reporting skills with the intensity of a surgical laser on better understanding officer- induced jeopardy, which also can be referred to as officer- created jeopardy."Officer-induced jeopardy" refers to situations where a police officer's own unreasonable tactics, actions, or decisions prior to a force encounter unnecessarily create or escalate the danger, increasing the likelihood that force will be needed.The phrases of “officer-induced jeopardy” or “officer-created jeopardy” describe actions taken by police officers that increase the risk of injury to the officer and escalate the probability of use of lethal force by officers, which may have been avoided had the officer not placed himself or herself in a self-created dangerous situation.Be clear in the fact that this action stems from willful actions taken by the officer that put the officer and the person of interest or suspect in danger … such as:—                 rushing in without backup,—                 poor de-escalation skills and tactics,—                 or standing in front of a fleeing vehicle, which may have been avoided.Officers rarely are but can be criminally prosecuted for using force when their actions led to escalation during contact with subjects. However, the facts bear out that fewer than 3% of killings by police result in officers being charged with a crime.Recently, a fan of the show contacted us and informed us of an incident where their family — in their home -- became inadvertent ear and eyewitnesses being directly next door to where the Akron Police Department had terminated a vehicle pursuit — barricading and cornering a driver in his vehicle and ordering him to exit his vehicle while at gun point:  More than 10 officers with their weapons drawn and pointed at the person who had previously committed what would amount to minor misdemeanors.The family that contacted us were concerned because they were in the direct line of crossfire if the officers decided to fire.This unnecessary contact with a 66-year-old black man (the suspect) could have easily turned into a “contagious fire” incident, with many of those shots coming from high-powered, military style assault rifles.In this explosive episode, in order to further our understanding about officer- induced jeopardy —   as a case study we'll examine Barnes v. Felix, 605 U.S. ___ (2025), which is a recent Supreme Court decision which assesses whether an officer acted reasonably in using force under the Fourth Amendment, and that a court must consider all the relevant circumstances, including facts and events leading up to the climactic moment.And we'll touch upon a few brief case summaries and instances that support our topic …As well as:—     How the use-of-force management training has changed over the course of the last decade.—     How has the use of less-lethal tools and devices changed?And …—     What we feel law enforcement agencies in the 21st Century should focus more on when it comes to officer- induced jeopardy and the use-of-force continuum.All this, pero mucho más aquí y solamente aquí — on Light ‘Em Up!The search for the truth and justice begins RIGHT HERE … and RIGHT NOW!Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

Mayor Gary Moore and City Manager Kasey Mitchell joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the city-wide cleanup on June 6th, upcoming road construction, the sidewalk reimbursement program, and Hog Days.

We're strolling through a smattering of topics today on the sidewalk. TJ creates a 5th park for Disney World, Landon wonders if we'll hit a "Disney World Cold Zone" when the kids get older, and of course we talk resorts and hit the 3 Questions to end the show.  * * * * * *

Evan Clark and Natalie Eger are college students studying sociology in Lexington, Virginia, and they came back from the 2025 National Gathering in Providence, RI fired up to do something. In the past year they've built a thriving local conversation group, turned a city council member into a regular at their monthly meetings, and had a broken sidewalk fixed fourteen days after they flagged it. They walk through how they started from scratch, made real change at the local level, and kept people showing up month after month.

A sidewalk isn't just a strip of asphalt; it's a place where countless laws collide, whether they're governing our movement, our safety, our right to free speech, our economy, or even just who's responsible for shoveling after a snow storm. But most communities don't have a single agency that manages all these competing concerns — and maybe it's time they create one.  Today on The Brake, we interview sidewalk law expert Michael Pollack about his new book "Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource." And in that book, he untangles the dense web of policies that shape our pedestrian spaces, which might just change the way you look at sidewalks forever.

"Black leather jacket."   Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Torie, and icon James Grady. David did indeed cry at his son's graduation, and Torie lived Book Fair-palooza in Gaithersburg and Oyster Bay.  Miami literary legend Mitchell Kaplan of Books & Books joined in to nominate Chantel Acevedo for "The Pitch."   Her new book "Cages" is out in June.  Crossing Cuba, London, and Miami, it reveals themes of love, exile, and identity.  Jim shares back stories about Robert Redford and the incentive to write his latest, "Shadows on Sidewalks."  As Bob Dylan said, " sex and politics and murder is the way to go if you want to get people's attention."  Grady will get lots of attention with "Shadows," yet another reason The Washington Post compared his writing to George Orwell and Bob Dylan.

Illegal dumping is a big problem in Oakland. Today, we'll from unhoused people about how the excess garbage that accumulates around encampments impacts their daily lives — and, some of the strategies they use to manage it.

Michael Pollack discusses his book, Sidewalk Nation, which features a chapter about Houston.Then, veterinarian Dr. Lori Teller answers listener questions about their pets.And we discuss Jose Altuve's injury and the Astros' weekend series win over the Texas Rangers with Jeff Balke of the Bleav in Astros podcast, then discuss the Texans' 2026 schedule with Houston Chronicle NFL and Texans reporter Jonathan Alexander.Watch

Twenty-five years ago, my sister Alissa Turney disappeared. For most of that time, I have lived in the space between grief and action, between not knowing and refusing to look away. This episode is different. It is shorter, more personal, and less about retelling every detail of Alissa's case than it is about marking what this anniversary means. Twenty-five years is an impossible amount of time to measure. It is birthdays missed, milestones stolen, questions unanswered, and a kind of grief that changes shape but never leaves. But this year also feels like a threshold the end of one road and the beginning of another. This is the place where the sidewalk ends. And for me, it is where the fight for justice continues.

We talked to our listener Naomi who just received a $30,000 bonus and needs advice on how to spend it. Does she go on vacation or does she be responsible and save it? Bobby talked about the crazy video of investigators saying the driver pulled onto the sidewalk and allegedly attempted to strike a teenager riding a bike, then chased them!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever noticed a branded stamp in the sidewalk? Keen-eyed Chicagoans have found some that date back to Depression-era infrastructure projects by the Works Progress Administration. Who were the workers behind the WPA and why did they brand Chicago sidewalks? We explore the labor history under our feet.

We're doing a bit of a crossover episode this week as I wanted to do two things, promote the amazing podcast The Brake hosted by Kea Wilson at Streetsblog USA and Dr. Anat Caspi at The University of Washington and her work focused on creating a platform that inventories Washington State's sidewalks. This is a reproduction of The Brake's February 24th episode What It Would Take to Map Every Sidewalk In Your State.    The Washington State sidewalk inventory is now 100% complete but if you'd like to be part of the coalition to get legislative support for continued maintenance make sure to contact the folks working on OS Connect. +++ Many thanks to Bob Nanna for our intro/outro music.

Did New York City really shut down for a stuffed animal? Opie and Ron the Waiter dive into the absurdity of King Charles' visit to NYC, where the "Royal work" consisted of planting salad in Harlem and donating a Roo doll to a library. Was it worth the gridlock?​Plus, a reality check on the "disgusting" state of NYC sidewalks after the winter thaw. Why are New Yorkers so bad at being dog owners? We also look at the rise of the machines—from AI taking over airport baggage handling to robot neighborhood watches. The robots are coming for the "un-automatable" jobs, and they're probably better at picking up dog poop than we are.​Follow Opie:​Instagram/Twitter: @OpieRadio​YouTube: Opie Clips / Opie Radio
