We met up with Brooklyn's Shabazz Stuart, founder and CEO of Oonee Pod, about what the streets of NYC need to resemble in a Covid-19 world.

We focussed on an interesting spot near Brooklyn's McCarren Park that showcased several elements on how we will need to widen sidewalks everywhere to help maintain social distancing. We also talked about how the restaurant and retail industry will need to be able to be granted access to appropriate several parking spaces, car travel lanes and possibly even full roadways in order to survive and serve customers. And of course why bicycle lanes will need to become wider, more prevalent and safer for all the new riders that are coming our way that will no longer want to use mass transit.
