Lol at the picture of that baby speed hump on a 40’ wide road.

That’ll do it.

Would make authentic GATs way easier to find.

Not asking you to dox yourself, but that number outside of context means very little.

If I’m remembering a book I read (either Human Transit by Walker or Street Fight by Sadik-Khan, I forget), with protected bike lanes the gender disparity between cyclists also starts to disappear.

The investment costs for protecting a bike lane are almost nothing for any competent city, though. There’s a reason it’s possible for guerrilla urbanists to do it overnight with no money.

The US has slave labor and all they do is pick cotton and staff call centers. If I’m living in a state with slave labor either way I’d probably take the one with the trains.

Well we’ve got all that in the US already, so can we just do the version where we get trains in addition to the other stuff, instead of just the other stuff?

I went to an onsen (hot spring) town in Japan. They have hot spring water, so on a lot of the streets business owners just turn the hose on and point it downhill. Worked pretty well for keeping the streets clear of snow, but requires a lot of existing geographical conditions.

The outer Richmond and outer Sunset are incredibly reactionary, car-brained NIMBYs. Only reason this went through is because it got put to a citywide vote. Left to the Board of Supervisors there’s no way it would have gotten through. I think the Sunset dipshits are already trying to recall their supe for letting it happen.

I’d be interested to know whether the majority of those cost increases came from labor or materials. Or, possibly, just additional graft off the top by the contractors if Pasadena doesn’t use in-house crews for their paving.

But cities like Pasadena have some of the easiest conditions possible for maintaining roads since they never (or only very rarely) get below freezing.

Our people? It’s the Democrats that need to wake up. They lost (and will continue to lose) as long as they propose merely to fiddle on the margins while the promise of a future crumbles.

They’re largely losing because of Trump.

The largest grant is going to Portland for a freeway widening that has occasionally included a cap in the renders.

Austin’s grant is going to a similar project.

The freeway widenings apparently must continue, but now they’ll just come with caps in progressive cities.

And yet the reporting on this protest is how I heard about the drilling leases.

Think globally. Act locally.
