Thrilled to finally share a big project I’ve been working on for quite some time now - the first conceptual renderings for RITTENHOUSE PARK!

A 21st century revenue model for upkeep and maintenance.

Finally, an answer to the age-old question, “where will I park?” The answer is, Rittenhouse Park.

HSR is good but there is no law of physics that says planes must have cumbersome security checkpoints and trains don't. Chinese HSR and Eurostar have airport-style security.

That article doesn't say anything positive about flex posts except that they generate good evidence when they get destroyed.

I stopped that commute 8 years ago and I still recognize the times and know which stations they are.

Electric buses are passing a brutal cold-weather test in Wisconsin Madison is proving electric buses can run through cold winters, providing a blueprint for zero-emissions transit in other frigid locales.

Interested in this--the important piece seems to be that the range impacts of cold weather on BEBs seem to be decreasing as time goes on. But! Mandatory 15-min dwell time to recharge at the end of a route, or midday return to garage, are *major* operational inefficiencies. grist.org/transportati...

Death Valley is the worst because half the visitors rented cars in Vegas just to get there. And cars routinely overheat there. And all the attractions are laid out in straight lines so frequent buses would be perfect.

How many stations on that route can fit 16 cars?

Gov. Hochul's Car Insurance Proposal is a Disaster for Crash Victims' Rights - Streetsblog New York City As a state that values walking and biking, we cannot allow the governor to gut the rights of the people most at risk — especially since it won't lower insurance rates anyway.

When I was a kid the Plymouth Meeting Mall buses all stopped right in front of an entrance (where Bertucci's is now). The transfer experience is so much worse now.

Saying your small metro should built car shit until it turns into Bakersfield is not being “pro-rural,” it’s actually saying it should build all the excess of urban areas with none of the benefits until it crumples under its own weight

Small metros face a choice: fill out their geography with low-density car-dependent infrastructure until they become endless Bakersfield-style sprawl, or properly urbanize in a more compact, efficient footprint that gives people more mobility and housing choices.

The PC bankruptcy trustees had to argue in court about whether or not Keystone was "Intercity passenger rail" because if it was they could make it Amtrak's problem. Turns out there was no legal definition of that phrase.

Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community.
1. GTFO
2. My voice is not some singular thing - bike advocacy is a small part of my makeup-you don’t like me or my position on things refer to point 1

Signed,
Me
