Yeah I’ve still never gotten anyone ticketed despite all my hub requests, and that includes the times I’ve called the hub phone number in addition to putting it in the app. We are not a real city.

Nashville’s hottest parking lot is the Church St bike lane. @nashvilledot.bsky.social @hubnashville.bsky.social
How about it? @nashvilledot.bsky.social @freddieoconnell.bsky.social @seanforfive.bsky.social @quinevanssegall.bsky.social www.seattle.gov/transportati...
That’s $360k worth of lawsuits right there 😅
"Cities are facing a two-wheeled traffic jam." Bullshit. They're suffering from a 4-wheeled infestation.
Hey @jkupin4d19.bsky.social didn’t my government just rip out some bike lanes around the corner from this to put in some loading zones? Why are we letting box trucks load in the Church St bike lanes? And how can we get some concrete protection for these lanes?
I would welcome a publicly funded bike share system in Nashville! Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. That said, not all for profit companies are created equal. chi.streetsblog.org/2025/06/13/u...
Fair point. That way Lime can spend less on employees and pocket even more profit. Love it!
There has to be a way to keep a nice park at the end of our main tourist strip looking a little more put together than this. Moving and re organizing dockless mobility devices should not fall on BCycle and NDP workers. @hubnashville.bsky.social @nashvilledot.bsky.social @limebike.bsky.social
On gridded neighborhood streets with no sidewalks like this, we should just make them either one way or two way shared no parking. Take a lane and make a protected multi use path
@nashvilledot.bsky.social @hubnashville.bsky.social While I do appreciate the long awaited addition of any kind of delineators on Church St, flex posts are hardly a silver bullet here. Enforcement HAS to be utilized in tandem with infrastructure if people are ever going to learn.
There have been 87 car deaths in NYC so far this year, 51 of them pedestrians killed by cars There have been 2 homicides in the subway*
e-bikes > cars for most trips and they won't bankrupt you great inflation and resiliency hack given... everything www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
Calling that number has yet to help me unfortunately. Both times I called after submitting tickets they still responded hours later and hit me with “GOA.”
Improperly parked vehicle requests should probably just expire after some amount of time (maybe 4-8 hours?). Sending someone out days later does not seem like the best use of resources of @hubnashville.bsky.social & @nashvilledot.bsky.social
“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx
Wow y'all looks like the extra lane didn't fix the traffic
Don't. Subsidize. Parking for privately-owned autos.
If they were really serious they would raise the crosswalk and put in a HAWK signal. Those little crosswalk signs often disappear because drivers hit them.
Over the weekend, a woman was killed in a crosswalk in Germantown and a pedicab operator was sent to the hospital and yet this is what I have to contend with on Church St this morning. @nashvilledot.bsky.social & @hubnashville.bsky.social, have we just given up completely on Church St?
This is a bad idea. This loading zone is heavily used and has helped significantly to keep drivers out of the bike lane. Converting it back to a through lane will increase conflicts for all modes, make it harder for pedestrians to cross, and push delivery drivers back into the bike lane.
If you’re waiting for there to be more bikers in order to build bike lanes, you’ve got it backwards
👇New Nature Cities (@nature.com) paper on the impact of protected bike lanes in getting more people cycling. Comparing 28 US cities over 6 years, it found areas that installed protected lanes saw 𝟭.𝟴𝘅 growth in cycling vs painted lanes alone. And 𝟰.𝟴𝘅 the growth of areas with no bike lanes at all.

This is how speed enforcement has worked in every other developed country for literally decades
Chinese HSR does Beijing-Shanghai – which is about the distance as NYC-Atlanta – in just over four hours, and gets six times the ridership of airlines. $1.8 billion in net profit last year. scmp.com/economy/chin...

And here's the full text of my public comments. We need honesty, transparency, and leadership right now. It's time for the people in charge to stand up and do the right thing.
The NYPD's crackdown on bicyclists is an egregious escalation that does nothing to make our streets safer. Why should a cyclist get a court date when a driver would receive a ticket for the same infraction — even though drivers cause substantially more risk to pedestrians?
seems really easy to do, tbh.
No cones, no signage, no sidewalk work permit posted, just vibes ✨ @nashvilledot.bsky.social
