Driving 36 mph instead of 30 mph means your chance of killing a pedestrian in a crash increases by as little as 5% or as much as 30%. Either way, it's not trivial. And going 20% above the speed limit is not "slightly above."

Sadly, for kids to be safe while walking in Chicago, they have to be taught that they can't trust drivers to stop at stop signs to let them cross. xitter.cf/leavitt_palmer/status/…

NYC DOT studied 7 stretches of road with bike lanes or pedestrian-friendly areas. By the 3rd year businesses on those routes had sales grow faster than the borough overall, on average—up to 5x faster - BUT those same businesses didn’t even believe it. wired.com/story/the-battle-o…

9/ So what should you do if you want to shop fashion more sustainably? • buy less • buy better • keep longer • buy secondhand What should fashion brands do to minimize overproduction? • improve forecasting • manufacture small batches • invite consumers to co-create

On 12/11 at 6:48 am a distracted driver drove onto the median at Balbo & LSD and crashed into the light pole and Gerardo's memorial ghost bike. Even though this intersection has proven deadly, it's been almost a month and the light pole has not been replaced. 1/-
