Cleaning leaf-clogged bikes lanes on Seattle’s Eastside — using bike power

Fall in the Seattle area means lots of leaves in bike lanes. Slippery, soggy leaves can be dangerous on two wheels. Now, volunteers in Kirkland have a clever, new tool to clean bike lanes from the sea...

Another example of a weird American domestic decorating & design taboo: no depictions of cars allowed, except in man caves & boys' bedrooms. Otherwise, landscapes & cityscapes must be car-free to earn a place on the wall or your holiday cards.

USPS 250th Anniversary Forever Stamps are a model for walkable communities, urbanism, and car-free neighborhoods. In this essay (1/250)

USPS stamps where the only vehicles are the low hood height USPS trucks and the streets belong to the people

Franklin Gateway has been sitting vacant for years now, same w/ Town Center Regal - Marietta and Kennesaw should follow Smyrna’s lead and rezone these lots for mixed-used developments, bringing homes, businesses, and amenities, making a better, more prosperous Cobb for all

These tire treads on the active transportation trail do not look like they came from a bicycle
A big muddy mess of a tire track left by a truck or other large vehicle on a trail with a packed crusher dust surface. Also a dog with a black collar that wraps around his face.

When one of the country's largest cities has to restrict people from visiting a thriving market, it’s proof that we have drastically under-allocated space for human life and over-allocated it for cars.

City officials surprised vendors at Chicago’s most popular holiday market by imposing new crowd restrictions just hours before it opened last Friday.

I am really enjoying cycling around Canberra. But it makes me so annoyed about how bad the cycling infrastructure is in my area of Melbourne. It is possible to make it safe and usable, but councils don't do it and drivers don't accept it. 🙄

Yet another study finding that building more housing, even “luxury” condos, makes housing more affordable overall. Left-NIMBYs are so frustrating because we share the same goal of more affordable housing, but their policies make housing less affordable. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/pape….
Abstract We test whether new condominium construction generates vacancies in a lo-cal housing market through induced moves. Using detailed address-history mi-crodata, we track households who moved into a newly built 512-unit condo-minium tower in Honolulu, Hawai'i, which included both market-rate and income-restricted units. We identify prior addresses and follow vacancy chains across multiple rounds of moves. The vacated homes were substantially cheaper than the new units and spanned diverse locations and housing types. Income-restricted units produced fewe condary vacancies, but those vacancies were concentrated at lower price points. Our results show that new condominium construction eases supply constraints and expands affordability in a local housing market and the contrast between market-rate and income-restricted units has importa mplica-tions for inclusionary zoning policies.

if anything this is a good excuse to extend sidewalks and reduce the amount of space cars have which actually makes traffic better (induced demand or w/e), like i guess here there's no person involved but idk would you make this complaint about someone using a mobility device

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society: Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Turn one level of the BQE into a rapid transit ROW, come off the BQE at Pearl Street. Line runs from ~~36th Street to 2nd Ave to Clinton to the BQE. Cuts down via Pearl to include transfers to the F (York) and A/C (High). Then heads east up Flushing Ave and shoots up to Queens Center.

Anyways they should try tolling this thing and seeing how many people actually use it. Everyone constantly is like “truck this, truck that” when a super majority of users are cars.

You don’t want to wish harm to anyone, but sometimes you give yourself an unimaginable early night off because you only turn 53 once, & you really want the bus you’re on to hit one of those loud-music pedicabs, or one of the legions of tourists playing IRL Frogger by walking on 6th Ave’s bus lane.
