Streetsblog New York City » From “Hey, You #*%!!” To “Dear Driver” -
“Dear Driver, the brainchild of Erik Fabian and Josh Weinstein, is a combination self-regulation tool and cyclist/driver communication conduit. Like many good ideas, it isn’t complicated.
It works like this. You cut me off, almost door me, or yell at me for taking street space, and I take a deep breath and hand you a nicely printed letter for you to read when you park your vehicle.
What does it say? Essentially: that I felt endangered, and that I hope you will take a moment to read a brief note that helps you understand who I am (a woman of a certain age, a psychotherapist), why I bike (I love it and its non environmental-impact), the challenge for me on two wheels (particularly since 2006 when my husband, Dr. Carl Henry Nacht, was killed on his bicycle), and what the rules of the road are for us both.”

The abundance of housing estates that shot up around London from the late 50s through to the early 70s were often perceived as either a comforting environment in which communities would prosper or, rather more cynically, as grotty quick fix schemes to cheaply house an expanding population. The Market Estate, situated next to Caledonian Road station, is one such complex, and has recently been condemned for demolition. Before the bulldozers move in, a group of artists have been granted the use of the space to do with as they wish. The Market Estate Project acts as an enormous canvas with almost limitless potential for the 76 artists to create unique and fascinating works. (via Dazed Digital | The Market Estate Project )
