StreetsWiki is a community-created, online encyclopedia for transportation, urban environmental, and public space issues. It's a place for ordinary people, planners, and academics to write and read about our cities and how we can make them more livable.

Best of all, StreetsWiki is a Wiki, which means anyone can edit or add articles (think Wikipedia, but for streets). To start editing pages, you'll need a Livable Streets account.

Share your knowledge on StreetsWiki and help our encyclopedia grow. Because the more we know, the better decisions we'll make.
