Could we eliminate *waves hands* risk? No.

Could we eliminate, or almost eliminate, fatal crashes? Yes, we could, if we wanted to, and why wouldn't we want to?

40-50 people killed on the roads of Montgomery County MD, every year, year after year after year. It doesn't have to be that way.

I really wish the post would have come with a translation so those of us who aren't fluent in Kant could laugh too.

How Big Upzonings Affect Housing Supply In this report, we explore how housing investment in New York City and Philadelphia changed over the past 15 years after the introduction of major zoning cha…

Overall, this paper provides new, substantial, statistically significant evidence that large-scale upzonings can have a major effect on housing production, particularly in the context of a receptive housing market.

🚨The General Assembly passed the Maryland Transit & Housing Opportunity Act🚨

proposed by @govwesmoore.bsky.social

with the amendment proposed by‼️us‼️exempting @wmata.com -owned parking lots & bus loops, contiguous to rail stations, from most local zoning rules. mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/L...

A list of people hurt and killed on Maryland's roads.

We've passed #StopSuperSpeeders bills in:
✅ Washington state
✅ Washington DC
✅ Virginia

Very exciting news that #Maryland, just awaiting @iamwesmoore's signature, is poised to be next on the list!

We hope he will honor our members and so who've been injured or killed.

One thing I really want NYC to get to in its bike lane designs is the idea of social cycling. A parent should be able to ride next to a child. Two friends should be able to ride next to each other. A senior on an adult trike should not have to worry about blocking faster cyclists. Etc.

We need to be preparing for extreme heat futures NOW because we are in the future

Sidewalks are transit infrastructure, which means that:

Sidewalks are #climatecrisis infrastructure
Sidewalks are #publichealth infrastructure

And for the teenaged boys' parents, who didn't have to chauffeur the teenage boys AND their cologne cloud to the neighborhood soiree.

This is not a solution to the US' housing problem.

Should a Democratic president be elected in 2028, the rest of the world will be far more likely to trust them if Democrats tried to impeach Trump in 2026.

Too frequently, the assumptions are

1) the only trips that matter are from home to work
2) work only occurs in a downtown office building, M-F 9-5

So much of it is dated, based on the assumptions
1) that the only trips that matter are from home to work
2) work only occurs in a downtown office building

This metro stop is Ancient Rome's new attraction Construction on Rome's Metro C has uncovered spectacular Roman ruins, and its new "archaeo-stations" are giving visitors a whole new way to experience the city's ancient past.

For comparison. In 2025, in Montgomery County MD, there were

14 homicide offenses (murder & non-negligent manslaughter).
46 people killed in crashes.

The economic costs of car crashes in the US in 2019 totaled $340 billion, including lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses.

We didn't make this up.

Walking to work is
1) great exercise
2) connects you to other people
3) fun

Is there a DIY guide / instructable for anyone who wants to make a Scritchy?

Can see the basics of the cone & of course duct tape, but getting the face right is a whole other thing.

Asking for no particular reason.

I think I would never have time & energy at the same time for reading these days if it weren't for the joys of commuting by bus.

Meet the ‘Zammoth,’ the Utah Mammoth’s new rideable Zamboni The Zammoth will cruise eight riders around the ice before each period of Mammoth games.

It can carry 8 people, it's #transit.

Also, if you were wondering, my birthday is a mere 10 months away and I'd like on.
