Aerial view of the new State Street project showing ped bridge, longer platforms, new entrance

Street level view of new Court St pedestrian bridge open only to ped and bikes

Wait, ConnDOT is also overhauling State Street Station?

Damn, look at this!!
Turning Court St overpass into Ped/bike only with plazas 😍
Added second entrance from Court street to platforms 😍
Lengthen platforms to accommodate 4/6 car trains 😍
Reconfiguring tracks to smooth service 😍

We can all only dream of failing as hilariously as this big dumb robot trying to walk over a 1” bump.

It’s also the true secret weapon in life. People will do incredible things to avoid more forms.

Hell yeah!

Trump has potentially ended free maritime trade, a literally world-changing development that, if it lasts, may do more damage than anything else he has done so far

What a phenomenally, historically evil and incompetent failure

The Republican Party is a party of failure, defeat, and idiocy

Smart planning🚨: Moving train station from a highway interchange to downtown, doing quality TOD, making a bunch of pedestrian improvements, adding bike infrastructure and rolling out viable bus transit service with 20 minute headways 7 days a week to the airport through the dense part of the town 💪

Could Congestion Pricing Pay Off for Chicago? Second City leaders have discussed following Manhattan’s lead in tolling roads to ease traffic. But a Chicago-style version of New York’s policy might look very different.

Manhattan's congestion pricing program has been a stunning success. Other US cities have noticed.

Could Chicago go next?

In @bloomberg.com, I explored. 🧵

how well are things going?

things are going “a democrat is now representing mar-a-lago in the florida state house” well

Greater Bridgeport Transit warns of 30% service cuts to bus service due to $7.5M budget shortfall “A lot of people need it. A lot of people don’t have cars,” said one woman who has ridden the bus for about a decade to get to and from work.

Absolutely wild story that isn’t getting much attention (as far as I can tell) around the state: the largest city in the state is about to cut 30% of its service over only a $7.5 million shortfall

It would be madness to let this go over such a small number

Plan to connect Hartford and UConn campus seen as economic boost to CT towns. How it would work. It’s a prospect that a mayor predicts would transform several east-of-the-river towns.

Cost efficient, service and maximal ridership focused transit investments are the best path forward for CT!

"By linking population hubs and various colleagues, [CT Fastrak East] could draw 3 million to 5 million annual riders with a capital investment of perhaps $50 million"

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.

They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.

That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.

As a Stratford resident I am excited about Bridgeport’s rise, so much potential!

Metro North adding extra trains from CT for the Big East Tourney. Husky Express hitting the tracks!

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.

Judge Lewis Liman (brother of Doug Liman) has ruled that the federal government can‘t unilaterally end congestion pricing, giving the MTA yet another court win on congestion pricing

Remember when I said NYC Mayor is one of the most powerful executive offices in the country? Honestly a lot of it is this kind of stuff. In many jurisdictions "I'm gonna hire 1000 people for a couple days for $30/hr" would require months hearings and council votes to actually do.

At least the snow melted enough for me to finally be able to take down my Xmas lights haha. I feel otherwise they’d be trapped under snow until June.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

Thinking about going solar in CT? Here's what to know as the state moves to streamline permits "You need to speak to several contractors before making a final selection," said Michael Trahan, a solar energy expert.

Pretty good roundup on Solar in CT.

TLDR: Yes you should still plan on adding solar if you have a sunny roof, the state is still offering great incentives, and the permitting process may get automated by 2028 under a pending bill which will radically transform the industry

Tell your friends 😉☀️⚡

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

“For happily the Government of the U.S., which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.”

FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.
