Bikeshare Shouldn’t Kick Tourists to the Curb
Barcelona’s bikeshare program excludes non-Spanish visitors. Other cities charge tourists much higher fees to rent two-wheelers. Which policy makes more sense?

this reminds me of the people who saw the key bridge collapse and demanded more bollards.

it also deprives legislators of this feedback! I would explain the law to applicants and then send them to their councilmembers to ask for a change in the zoning law & got so many emails and calls from CMs ranging from confused to hostile.

This is a very good essay by a zoning attorney in Baltimore. I’m especially glad that it highlights a little remarked-upon dynamic in our discretionary, exception-based land use permitting system: it deprives voters of the feedback necessary to adequately judge the effectiveness of regulations.

You need to tell the British people what the greens would do if they had a budget? What savings they would make. How much taxes taxpayers would have to pay. NHS. Policing. Schools. Transport services etc how would the greens budget?
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social
The very first thing the Prime Minister does is use the household budget metaphor. A metaphor - this report into BBC coverage - said could be "easily misleading." Why is the government trying to mislead the country?

Violent crime rates on transit systems in Canadian cities much higher than a decade ago.
Rates appear to have stabilized or fallen some cities, but violent crime still much more frequent than prior to pandemic.

Dear folks who say "I would use transit if it went from my house to my job:" That could be easily arranged (the hard part is done) if you live and work in a red area. Everywhere else, the best you might do is park and ride into a red area. Everywhere else is hopelessly car dependent for now.

my controversial urbanist opinion, articulated buses are a bad solution, if you need them you'd be better off with trams/LRT with dedicated right of ways.. don't tell me Norway can't afford to do that in their biggest city

So this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.

Thanks to @taras-grescoe.com for calling it a “light metro” instead of light rail 👍
“Riding that train made me feel like Canada was finally building transit fit for the 21st century, a worthy counterpart to the systems that are now common in Asian and European cities.”

Canada has forgotten how to build fast, cheap transit. A new megaproject has the fix.

Philadelphia can’t set the speed limits on roads within its own borders. Only the state can.
So city transportation officials want to persuade Harrisburg to give it the power to set speed limits more appropriate to the density of Philadelphia.

Philly wants to set its own speed limits, and other highlights of the city’s new Vision Zero report
Vision Zero report shows that traffic deaths in Philadelphia remain elevated compared to the five years before the coronavirus pandemic.

(to be clear, I think absolutely everyone should pay for the roads, and I don't think EVs should be overweight juggernauts that smash up roads and car parks, I just would like to know how they're going to go about this and think that it penalises rural drivers with zero public transport options)

@audenkaehler.bsky.social
18 minutes agoWould love for @thewaroncars.bsky.social to do an episode on the economics of local bike shops. Even in bike friendly cities like Seattle, Portland and DC they seem to have extremely short lifespans.
Matt Staub@staubio.com
The River Market is losing its neighborhood bike shop at the end of the year. :/ Cycling is still too much of a drive-to-ride culture in this city, and the neighborhood is still car centric and Amazon-supplied. I had high hopes but this is a bummer.

some might suggest this is a good way to think about the phrase "just build more housing" (not me, because I don't court controversy)

It's been common knowledge for years that "Drill, baby, drill" is a political soundbite with no meaningful connection to the market forces that actually determine oil companies' drilling decisions.

1. The reason "The REAL poverty line is $140,000" feels like a paradigm-shifting insight is because it's completely deranged
2. Obviously, everyone who could plausibly benefit from free public transit already lives in an area that's deep blue
I wish people would think more before having takes!

Fires, earthquakes and bombs are reasons I never want to live in high-rise apartments. I know with the current housing crisis and rental affordability issues, we should build up rather than out but I feel safer and more secure in a stand alone and detached house. #Housing #Fires #HongKong

It’s odd that Lights by Journey is written about San Francisco, but the bridge is about Los Angeles. I’m not city planner but it seems that out of the two cities that San Francisco is more well known for it’s bridge.

Funny how vehemently autocrats hate bike lanes, even outside the US.
Look Both Ways with David & Wes@lookbothwayspod.bsky.social
@davidzipper.bsky.social on Europe's turn against urbanism (i.e. the rise of Motorists for Themselves, a Czech party, and Meloni's allies rallying against "useless bike lanes"): "it's not just North America that's facing a real backlash right now; it feels like it's happening in Europe too."
