Gotta make room for the 300s?
With the AJC dropping its print edition, I feel compelled to share one of the greatest moments in print design history
Thanks for the recommendation to walk home a different way tonight đ
I too love to completely imagine a personâs life circumstances and then provide an unsolicited reply filled with righteous judgment over them
Great way to relate the impact of a car crash with something people can directly understand! buff.ly/ANAJuP6 #yegbike
I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

Saw both 302 and 303 on Route 11 yesterday morning while out on a run and couldnât get a picture. Theyâre 40â CNG Xcelsiors. Still an interesting sight since theyâre the first 40â Xcelsiors in the standard paint scheme.
Governor Newsom my people yearn for freedom (affordable housing near transit)
Curious if it's possible instead of going by age to legislate something like a maximum bike speed for sidewalks that would capture both young kids and adults on the final block headed to the bike rack. Like a maximum of a brisk walking pace or 8 mph or something.

A new study of vehicular crashes in the UK shows thatâafter accounting for driver characteristics, road conditions, & moreâadult pedestrians & cyclists had a 14% higher fatality rate when hit by an SUV rather than a regular car. Children had a shocking 77% higher fatality rate when hit by SUVs.

A lot of things are pretty grim right now but itâs also the first time in over a dozen years Iâve woken up to a new Moving Mountains record
Since Mamdani won the Dem NYC mayor nomination with a free bus proposal, let's talk about free transit. Research suggests that free transit: aâincreases ridership bâdoesn't get people out of cars câbenefits youth, elderly & low-income ppl dâdoesn't add employment eâmaybe ups operational efficiency
Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor
âI feel like people mistook my 250k for enthusiasmâ is something Iâve often found myself saying out loud

I was three years into my career at this point and was worried enough to actually schedule a call with the APA ethics officer and his response was âit sounds like you did everything right? This other person should have their credential suspended though if you want to drop namesâ
And in formal business districts I often worked with their own maintenance folks to coordinate new bench installs around stops, there are a couple on/around ECB that instead of facing the business is flipped around at the bus stop to let folks see the bus coming
Generally though MTS is going to look the other way, theyâd love to provide agency-owned infrastructure since they can keep after maintenance and maintain quality control, but if for whatever reason that hasnât or canât happen, theyâre not going to say no to outside furniture.
I can think of one particular condo building that brought the council office into a bench discussion, and when we said this is near too many medical offices and removal could present an ADA issue, a landscape architect on the HOA board threatened my AICP credential over it.
Shelters, on the other hand, are relatively costly and take a lot of work to install and too often just arenât installed at all (see the Sombrita discourse) but the best answer is cutting the paperwork needed to get the concrete in the ground, which currently requires several tiers of approvals
Bus benches are easy, and while the bench ads are a little tacky, they pay for themselves and their own maintenance. The battle (one Iâve seen firsthand in Bankers Hill) is residents think bus benches induce loitering and push back hard on anything that might offer comfort to an undeserving person.
San Diego City Council just voted 5-2 to approve a major package of parking policy reforms, including: đ żď¸ dynamic pricing at meters during special events đ żď¸ streamlined creation of new meter zones đ żď¸ easier creation of residential parking permit zones đ żď¸ charging on Sundays*
Holy crap! That's a new failure mode for me. Sorry to see that!

Beginning at 2:01 AM UTC on Friday morning, May 23, all British territories will have been simultaneously forsaken by the sun.
I believe this means the sun will set over the entirety of the British Empire tonight for the first time in several hundred years. Chagos is the dot below India on this map. Sunset in the Pitcairns (dot in the Pacific) will happen ~40 minutes before sunrise in Akrotiri and Dhekelia (dot on Cyprus).
It is embarrassing for the San Diego paper of record to be sourcing the biggest local story of the morning from the Associated Press.

Mayor Adams is wearing his âin god we trustâ American flag shirt once again. But this time itâs written in Italian. He says itâs Spanish to honor the victims of a nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican republic last week.
Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing: - Complaints about car-honking are down 70% - The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48% - 6 million fewer cars - Half as many traffic-related injuries - 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year
Policy choices forcing more people into cars for mobility are closer to a poll tax than any parking charge
All true, but also amazing what a small savings this is for a project like this. If people reading your post can instantly put it into context as "about what Gunnar Henderson will get per year once he hits free agency" you have to leave that number out.
This development was master-planned in anticipation of fixed-guideway transit. Plus the service launched with 15 minute peak service, but the pandemic slowed demand and schedules were trimmed back accordingly. Iâd be interested to see how a line linking this area with the Blue Line would perform.
Can you tell whether I'm on a bus or a train? Transit orientated development is possible either way, as long as the service is useful and liberating.
I often wonder how this individual I encountered two years ago is doing

here are the elephants at the @sandiegozoo.bsky.social safari park reacting to the earthquake just outside #sandiego. you can see them forming an âalert circle,â as Emily helpfully informed us, during which the adults can be seen "instinctively circling the younger elephants to protect them."
Low-key event on the public safety front. Bunch of emergency alarms triggered and a few rocks in the road.

My translation of a viral Japanese meme summarizing decades of U.S. complaints about Japan not buying enough American cars (while not making the kind of cars Japanese consumers actually want):
We were just notified that our contract to UCSD and Scripps Research to support wastewater surveillance in San Diego (searchcovid.info) was terminated immediately for the same reasons đ. That means no more genomic wastewater surveillance, and our proposed extensions to measles, Hep A, others, gone.
I was on a search last year in Sycamore Canyon where the Lakeside Substation deputies were trying to convince everybody involved we were actually in Poway so theyâd get credit for the assist. Hasnât changed.
We had Decobike starting in 2014, but it didnât survive the rapid rise and fall of dockless micromobility. Between having the Cityâs dedicated mobility program folded back into transportation and the current budget situation I doubt thereâll be an appetite for a second try for a while.

The new polling data shows that congestion pricing is climbing out of the "valley of political death," a term coined by Stockholm transportation director Jonas Eliasson when the policy was implemented there. TL;DR - We're winning. nyc.streetsblog.org/2017/12/06/f...
A new poll released Monday from Siena College found that more New York City residents approve of congestion pricing than don't, a dramatic turnaround from a previous poll by the same firm back in December.

All NACS-compatible with adapters: - Small: Chevy Equinox EV, Volvo EX30 - Medium: Polestar 2, Volvo C40/XC40 Recharge, Ford Mustang Mach E, Chevy Blazer EV/Honda Prologue - Big: Cadillac Lyriq/Acura ZDX, Volvo EX90, Polestar 3 - Stupid huge: Rivian R1S/R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado EV
The real Tesla appeal is the supercharger network, and thatâs opening up to a lot of vehicles if they get the right adapter. Of those, best 1:1 right now is Polestar â itâs a Volvo cousin so itâs safe, and no-haggle online purchasing. Many well-priced Ford/GM options too, but with the usual dealers.

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academicâcurious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.
