The engineering schematic

Fun find this afternoon: In 1957, the Port Authority did the engineering work to link the downtown PATH to the Lexington Avenue subway local tracks.

apologies if you've answered this elsewhere but is this data available in one place you could share? and is private carrier data un-opra-able?

Yeah these rock and even more than the public transit made me pretty despondent about the states www.torched.la/the-best-sea...

As suits try to restore $16B Gateway tunnel project, work winds down It could cost $20 million a month to wind the Gateway project down and secure the sites. If restored, finding skilled workers again could be hard.

I visited the Tonnelle Ave project site today where I could see all the tunnel boring machine parts scattered around, collecting snow, waiting to be assembled.

A pause in construction will have huge consequences for this $16B tunnel program.

A Map-First Tool for Exploring STAC Data — Development Seed stac-map makes exploring STAC GeoParquet as simple as zooming around a map.

Blog post up for stac-map: developmentseed.org/blog/2025-09...

A very imperfect prototype of a map-first #STAC app, it includes:

- stac-geoparquet visualization and download
- Experimental natural language collection search

Uses #deck.gl, @duckdb.org, #geoarrow, and github.com/stac-utils/r...

The grand slam result chart on tennis players’ Wikipedia pages is a very underrated data viz

A lot has happened to PATH in the past 25 years -- 9/11, major construction work, COVID, etc. But consistent across all of these events have been ensuing reductions in off-pk service levels: since 2005, the number of PATH trips crossing the Hudson on Saturdays has fallen by *50%*

oh i didn’t see that it was a dealbreaker for you - no, reading highlights is impossible hah. most of your other points seem addressed. i never thought to change the launcher but it opens to a standard app-icon home screen

- preemptive tunnel safety led to the north river tunnels single tracked (not sure how early this assumption could’ve been altered)
- yet, there was a clear intention to make 2 more tunnels (presumably not in 100+ years)

Aiming for end of the month to announce, but here's what we're working on: developmentseed.org/stac-map/

I'm getting some (much needed) help on the frontend (h/t @indraneel.org), but the core idea is this:

- map-first @stacspec.bsky.social viz
- stac-geoparquet as first-class

The rest is open

in 1902 the CEO of the PRR was getting to nyc (well, jersey city) from philly in 79 minutes. it takes 75 minutes today with the tunnel built during his tenure

wonder if we’re going to see more of this now
