"You — yes, you, the person reading this — could prevent the next deadly crash in New York City.

Why Cities Shouldn’t Fall For the Robotaxi Hype Transportation historian Peter Norton sees a pattern in the promises that autonomous vehicle companies make as they push self-driving cars into cities.

Transportation historian Peter Norton doesn't buy into the robotaxi hullabaloo:

"What robot cars are promising is the next generation of car dependency."

In @bloomberg.com, my lengthy conversation with @norton.bsky.social

The Disappearance of the Public Bench Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

"Benches aren’t just disappearing from large railroad stations, but also from subways, parks, plazas, sidewalks, and esplanades."

This is a huge problem, but it's weird to write such a long piece w/o mentioning William Whyte, author of Social Lives of Small Urban Spaces, who first raised the issue.

Transport minister: Free seniors rides permanent - Barbados Today Minister of Transport and Works Kirk Humphrey has reaffirmed that under the Mottley administration, no senior citizen will ever be required to pay bus fare on Transport Board buses.

He challenged the transport ministry to move beyond “standards” that are unfit for a modern Barbados, insisting that walkways must be well-lit & accessible for those with disabilities and the elderly, for whom “darkness is experienced differently.”

Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want Did the tech industry get high on its own supply?

"The people who tell us that AI will dominate our future and take our jobs are the people who are hoping that will be true. They may be hoping this because it makes them feel important, or because they want to be billionaires, or because they simply do not understand other people."

Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌍🌏

I asked the girls (4,2) how they help Earth:

- ride bikes and buses
- pick up trash
- plant trees and flowers
- give earth hugs
- eat waffles (bc they are round like Earth)
- astronauts
- sing a save the day song
- stomp feet

Happy Earth Day from tiny Trinidad & Tobago! #HappyEarthDay

'Best Bikeshare in America': An Unexpected Community Launches Free, All-Electric Micromobility For Residents — Streetsblog USA Omaha and neighboring Council Bluffs, Iowa share an expansive e-bikeshare network that punches above its weight, supporters say — and now, it's free to all residents, too.

Green Bullitt cargo bike is parked under a tree at a park

My favorite streets during the evening commute time (in my part of Mpls) are 40th St & Bryant.

They’re filled with people on bikes & often specifically with moms & kids on cargo bikes.

On my ride over to the park just now I passed 5 other moms on cargo bikes, including this beautiful Bullitt. 😍

The world is getting happier. Western teenagers are not. In many countries, teenagers are happier than previous generations. But in Australia and much of Western Europe, the opposite is true.

The world is getting happier. Western teenagers are not. Social media isn’t the root cause. Light use is fine. Heavy use hurts, but only as an amplifier. The real issue is a loss of real-world belonging. Feeling part of a school or community matters far more than screen time. buff.ly/TNpG5wA

Not getting enough physical activity may be harming your health: Here’s what being sedentary does to your body From a biological perspective, being inactive is more than the opposite of being active. Being sedentary results in unique physiological changes that can lead to a variety of health risks.

A timely reminder from my colleague @drscottlear.bsky.social of the dangers of sitting. We need all government levels to make it safer to walk & cycle in our everyday lives. Better for us, better for the planet & saves society money. Via @ca.theconversation.com theconversation.com/not-getting-...
