I think the business owners who filed suit over a bike lane should be pilloried out of the city and never allowed to operate a business here ever again, but this may be too lenient.

BREAKING: A Queens judge on Friday took the unprecedented step of ordering the city to rip up the partially installed protected bike lane on 31st Street in Astoria, defying years of legal precedent that empowers the DOT to redesign city streets as it sees fit. buff.ly/02lWfWs

Organized chaos ... is that intentional? Half the street for rapid transit? A two-way bike lane to make people smarter?
De Filmende Fietser@filmendefietser.bsky.social
Noise pollution is harmful, unwanted, disruptive and negatively impacts people's health. And is often caused by motorised traffic 🚘 🛻 🚖 That why cities deserve rush hour traffic where the loudest sound is that of squeaking bicycle brakes 🚲

The gondola project to Dodger Stadium is a mediocre public transit project AND the opposition to it is dumb.

People who make complaining about bike lane infractions and infrastructure their entire personality, have mental health problems that exercise cannot cure.

It is right and good to complain about the WaPo's op-ed and other editorial choices, but they do still do some good reporting. This one's important. (Should be a gift link.)

America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

“The eastbound [bus] departure, leaving Humber College at 12:07 PM, made it to Finch West Station in 44 minutes, two minutes faster than the [soon to open] scheduled LRT trip.”

Waiting for Finch West Can a brand-new light rail line outrun the local bus it will soon replace? I went out to Finch Avenue West to see for myself.

If I’m reading this ruling correctly, it would functionally require a CEQR/SEQR process for every bike lane (or any other change to street layout) that’s longer than four blocks.

A friend wisely pointed out that many people probably were aware that the Finch line would be very slow for a long time before it’s opening, but nothing was done. What I’m really scared about is the possibility that it just never gets fixed now and is slow forever.

An underrated positive element of the finch line is that the wayfinding is by Metrolinx and they are a lot better at this than the TTC, plus it’s bilingual which is nice

This alignment is better than the Amtrak one and a great candidate for overhead electrification.

Ugh, this is what happens when you build commuter rail alongside a freeway. Hopefully these cities will do more to push housing density near these stations.
