since I’ve started driving I can *really* feel how road design makes it feel like you should be going a certain speed and how many roads are badly designed for this purpose

I became a dense walkable neighborhood activist in my drunk 20s when I lived in a dense walkable neighborhood and took the train to other dense walkable neighborhoods.

My transport plan is simple: a lifetime ban on driving for anyone with a DUI, turning drunks into a powerful constituency in favour of dense walkable neighbourhoods

It’s funny how “build more housing” is never the answer www.parkrecord.com/2025/1….
Do short-term rentals affect affordability? Wasatch County leaders are split on the answer - Park Record

Nightly rentals help some homeowners pay their mortgage, while others find that short-term rentals decrease the amount of available affordable units.

A great launch for the new @banzaiedinburgh.bsky.social cargo bike library this afternoon — I’ve been pleased to do my small bit to help get this up and running, but a big thanks to the many others involved 🚲📦 If you want to try a cargo bike, get in touch and you can hire one for free 🌟

This is another piece of bad planning in relation to Central Station. The drop off point should be on the closest road to the main entrance, and have a proper lay-by set-down area. The only solution now that would fix this is permanent traffic management staff or bus lane type cameras and fines.

Obviously if you had to run away from a murderer, you would do so within the constraints of the speed limiter, which, unless you're fleeing exclusively within the bounds of a school zone and it's between 230-3 PM on a weekday, is still well above the speed your would-be murderer can sprint.

strangers are fighting to the death in my menchies over this pretty innocuous take and slinging devastating counterarguments like “what if I had to run away from a murderer” and “I like speeding”

1/This post & a bunch of others show why traffic safety enforcement is so freakin’ hard to get right. No enforcement means many, many traffic homicides & vehicular assaults. Too much or the wrong kind of enforcement means some people can’t get to work until we figure out a good public transit system

Drove 9 hours to talk to someone this week. He was on death row for 27 years. But thanks for the advice.

Will be really interesting to see what the details of the TOD bill is here. Hoping it's actually allows significant density (at least 5 stories and hopefully no parking minimums), and that the radius is large enough (1000 ft, not just parcels on major streets)

... continuing - Allowing multiple unit housing in more areas - Requiring more density by allowed near transit stops Link(ing the board as a whole because there's five of these pages): www.palegis.us/house/co-spo...

from public transport: Trains give time to look, be, see. Why as a species we still have single car ownership dominance, is purely perpetuating corporate unsustainable economic growth. Imagine somewhere over someone’s rainbow a place where single car ownership doesn’t exist. #Photography #Alttext
A square format landscape photo taken from a train carriage. There’s obvious marks, linear reflections from inside the carriage, on the window. The view is of a rainbow, and a faint second. It’s a river valley silhouetted dark trees in the foreground, a couple of illuminated white dwellings, hills beyond, blue skies above, dotted with grey, and misted white clouds. The sun creates, illuminates a rich green warm tree’d compartmentalised, hedge-rowed agricultural landscape.

Join us for our December Social Hour! 🎉 A chill night to celebrate 2025 wins: Transit-oriented development, better transit, the bike plan, safer streets, stopping the I-25 expansion, and to gear up for the IDO amendments. Come talk cities, streets, housing, or just hang out. 🏙️🚲 #abq #albuquerque
A light, textured background with a large photo of Drip-Line Brewing at night. Warm string lights hang under an open metal pavilion with people gathered inside. At the top, bold text reads “SOCIAL HOUR.” Over the photo, black-and-white labels say “Thursday Dec 18th” and “6:30pm–8:30pm.” A white box at the bottom of the photo reads “DRIP-LINE BREWING — Downtown–Wells Park — 1320 2nd St NW.” A bright orange badge on the left says “6:30pm.” Below the photo, text reads: “Strong Towns member? Urbanist? YIMBY? Budget nerd? Road safety champion? Curious about it all? Come socialize!” At the bottom is the Strong Towns ABQ logo and website.
A blue background with an illustrated white-and-blue bus stop sign on the left. On the right, bold text reads “Accessibility Info,” followed by bullet points. Under “ABQ Ride,” it lists Route 5 and Route 10 buses and their nearby stops. A bicycle icon introduces info about bike racks near the front door and in the parking lot. A beer mug icon notes non-alcoholic options including Coke products, kombucha, and athletic NA beers. A burger icon states that food options include vegetarian choices. A wheelchair icon notes that the space is wheelchair accessible. A parking icon notes street or lot parking. A small dancing figure icon indicates the space is kid-friendly with an outdoor game area.

People defending the slow speeds on the grounds of social equity have no legs to stand on. Transit (including on Finch) being faster is exactly what delivers big equity gains. It closes the gap with the car for people who *don't* drive.

Just realized that the 50km end to end travel time of the Montreal REM is the same as the 10km end to end travel time of Toronto's Finch W Tramway (55 min).

Cities aren’t built for older people – our study shows many can’t walk fast enough to beat a pedestrian crossing

Many older people with reduced mobility say they feel ‘hurried’, ‘rushed’ and ‘unsafe" when walking around their city.

Karen Bass trying to get $4.4M for new cops and city council just approved $1M for them but no movement on our streets, bike lanes, bus lanes, ADA accessible sidewalks/crosswalks.

Los Angeles hasn’t fully repaved a single street since June, almost 6 months. Oren Hadar tells me how he found out about this.
