When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, “Mama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.” So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:

Today is a good day. It’s easier to be a parent this morning. Character MATTERS. Being a good person MATTERS. This is a big deal. It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around. Today is a good day. #PresidentBiden #VotersDecided

Small town America on the rebound. A successful father & son (former unemployed flight attendant) who together run the quaint Allen Street Diner in Jamestown amid a pandemic. 1 of 18 businesses & local tenants that’ll share more than $400,000 to keep operating. @SPECNewsBuffalo.

There are superheroes everywhere. Our elected officials and department heads are working everyday to keep residents safe, coordinate supplies, make sure essential services can still be performed... literally keeping our cities, towns and villages from complete chaos. @esundquist

My new favourite line in any #Christmas movie: “I don’t want to be a princess. I want to be an urban planner.” And it’s not just a random line — it’s a major plot point in the 2005 movie “The Legend of Frosty The Snowman”... she even creates a redesign for the town out of snow!

Every winter, fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets & roads, & how much space we could reclaim for people & public life. We call them #sneckdowns. GIF via @fietsprofessor #sneckdown

Would you drive just a few miles slower per hour if it meant that your city would get richer, more resilient, and—oh yeah—save dozens, if not hundreds of lives every year? If you said yes—bc duh—then its time to #SlowTheCars in your core neighborhoods. bit.ly/2GWlASv

Hey @USDOTFHWA: How about we lay off crosswalks that give walkers a "false sense of security" and think about how our road design gives *drivers* a false sense of security about speeding so fast through our neighborhoods that they can *kill people*? 😡 n.pr/2SsAHaS

Here's the thing: cycling deaths *are* on the rise, but not everywhere. Oregon has among the lowest bicyclist fatality rates despite a 46.5 percent increase in bike commuting in 5 years. Why? They've invested in safer streets. #slowthecars. bit.ly/2H1ZH4Z

If all that sits between life and death for people out walking is a functioning crossing signal, we're left ourselves an unacceptably thin margin of error. There is way more wrong here than simple maintenance—and only good road design can fix it. bit.ly/2GPu5zB

I think I should rant more about how traffic lights in North America are on the wrong side of the intersection. If your light hangs above the crosswalk, you don't drive into the crosswalk on red, because then you can't see the light turn green. Works like a charm in Europe.
