Why a highway won't fix this problem - a great take from my colleague Myles at M4ST: Gorham Connector will be re-floated, along with four other plans on Tuesday m4st.substack.com/p/maine-do…

Sometimes the WAR ON WALKING results in no sidewalks at all. Sometimes they put “something” in — but does that really make things walkable for anyone except those without any other choices? The #WARonWALKING takes many forms, but it’s always about making things comfortable for vehicles, not people. Via the Urban Truth Collective! Check us out. urbantruthcollective.com/ #UrbanTruth

We need E-bike REBATES. All bikes are legitimate forms of transportation but like cars, may be unaffordable for some, especially E-bikes. Let’s enable transportation options that pay dividends back to society - health, financial, and environmental impacts that cars don't provide

Neulich hatte ich mich wohl nicht ganz klar ausgedrückt, da wurde auf Reparaturen und Zubehör verwiesen.. Deshalb nochmal etwas deutlicher: Das größte Problem des Fahrrads ist, dass die AUTO- UND FOSSILINDUSTRIE kein Geld daran verdient!

Most cities treat bike infrastructure as an afterthought, squeezing it into the margins of a car-dominated street. This design does the exact opposite by allocating generous spatial priority to active transit.

FSD DROVE MY TESLA INTO A PILLAR. I’ve trusted FSD completely—until this. FSD was engaged, yet it failed to avoid a stationary pillar. @Tesla @teslasi @elonmusk How does this happen? If FSD is driving, where does Tesla’s responsibility begin? #Tesla #FSD

On the Emajõgi River, Estonia’s second city Tartu has quietly built a status as the country's cycling capital. Its approach is simple but ambitious—build a complete and connected network, treat cars as guests where space is tight, and make e-bikes readily available to everyone.🧵

Raised crosswalks demand motorist attention and naturally enforce speed calming, making modal conflict points safer for everyone. Proper urban infrastructure prioritizes safety through design. No sign alone can achieve that.

Bike lanes relieve congestion and boost the economy via improved health outcomes. Removing them harms the economy and makes traffic worse.

Morning commute on a bike lane that Doug Ford wants to rip out. 21 bikes and 4 cars clearing an intersection in 23 seconds. Which mode fights congestion?

Closing Market Street without rethinking the layout was the most half-assed urban renewal attempt in history. Typical SF approach: frankenstein policy that accomodates every niche interest (but no one likes) instead of a bold vision that focuses on outcomes and, most importantly, people’s lives. Other cities did this, folks. It ain’t hard. 👇👇

Just imagine if we extended this down to SoHo, one of the most popular shopping districts on Earth that is needlessly hectic due to narrow sidewalks and traffic on Broadway.
