Hmm, if you get hit by car it's:
a. something Allegheny County takes seriously, and will evaluate the roadway design and how to prevent the collision in the future, or
b. it's your own fault and it is funny.

Guess which one Allegheny County chose

I got a small grant to do some of the research on attitudes and culture around speed and speeding that I've wanted to do for years. I'm looking for some test cases, or projects to align with in a complementary way that is useful to us both. Thanks! Please RT if you don't mind. 🙏

More housing in walkable communities = affordability and energy independence

The Highway Expansion Lightning Lane Federal transportation funding fast-tracks highway expansion while cities wait years to fix dangerous streets.

On point. "The highway expansion line moves fast and is backed by enormous pots of money. The line for everything else is slow, uncertain, and dramatically smaller." clmarohn.substack.com/p/the-highwa...

That would change the math on every highway expansion. Unappreciated is that urban highways take a valuable asset, taxable land, and converts it to a major future maintenance liability. We're not even talking about air and water pollution, climate change, noise. etc. Just straight gov't dollars.

Did you know the federal government has a program called Payment in Lieu of Taxes to reimburse local governments for taxes lost due to untaxable federal land? What if state DOTs had to make payments in lieu of taxes to reimburse cities for lost taxes due to freeways taking land out of the tax base?
