It's time to sunset further build out of the Interstate Highway System. Shift the focus to maintenance only. No need build new corridors or add lanes to existing ones as we know that doesn't work. Flip the 80/20 transportation funding model the other way while we're at it.

Austin City Council just voted to place a $460 million bond on the ballot in November to fund safe and active transportation improvements!!!
They’re still discussing details of the contract with the voters, but we will get to vote for safe, accessible, multimodal streets!

This seems the best chart for right now I’ve seen all day (which has been a three years long day).
Everyone of us needs to have 75% less contact with other people starting now and through April 15 and we can nip this thing in the bud. – at Austin, TX

"The urban highway expansion is a zombie policy. We know that (highway expansion) doesn’t work but it keeps getting resurrected anyway." 👀🤔

Quite profound to see some of my language become part of an interim charge for #txlege 2021 session.
Here are the @FarmAndCity recommendations submitted in this process: dropbox.com/s/k7s3kqvq9k5bwx…
Thank you Speaker @RepDennisBonnen, Chair @TerryCanales40 & Vice Chair @BrooksLandgraf for making ending traffic deaths a top priority for #txlege House Transportation Committee.
We need meaningful proposals to save lives on streets & roads across Texas.

The road diet and pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure planned for Bagby Street on the western edge of downtown should be continued on West Dallas to Shepherd Drive connecting more than five mixed use projects to the Houston Theater District and City Hall.
New post: @DowntownHouston is bringing a permanent road diet to Bagby Street in January. By converting under-utilized car lanes into a cycle track and sidewalk improvements they're bringing huge change to an area full of parks and cultural hotspots.

Doesn’t seem too complicated.

I'm going to run 5,000 meters this Sunday in Manhattan with my five-year-old son to raise funds to support the Families for Safe Streets movement.
And all you get is this chance to support the Texas Vision Zero movement:

We talk about transit-dependent riders. We should talk a lot more about car-dependent drivers — people who can’t afford to own a car but feel they have to buy one because we built places where that’s the only semi-reliable way to get around. That’s the opposite of freedom.

On that part of my trip home from serving on Austin’s Pedestrian Advisory Council when I walk on a dimly lit street w/ no sidewalks.
No Texan should have to live in neighborhoods like this, like my neighborhood, like most of our neighborhoods.
We’ve squandered our abundance.

It’s very America in 2019 that TxDOT can come away from a Friday meeting with a $150 million mandate to start working on 25 miles of megafreeway, but there’s no money anywhere for any part of the Houston Bike Plan, which was approved three years ago. – at Houston, TX
