🚨 AB 1082 🚨 is a well intentioned bill that will be a total disaster for roadway safety in CA.
You think parking in bike lanes and bus stops is bad today?
Wait until there are ZERO consequences. For this or ANY other parking violation. @NancySkinnerCA please vote NO 1/9 – at Oakland, CA

We've fallen down a rabbit hole into a wonderland where most fire engine calls are in response to traffic crashes, our fire engines are too big to operate anywhere other than on wide streets and most car crashes occur because our streets are too wide.

On the calls to “Save Hopkins” from protected bike lanes:
“But it was hard not to wonder if we all reach a point in our lives at which personal convenience and a fear of change become imperceptibly commingled with our sense of the common good.”

Suburbia at its finest - Park Slope!
This sort of walkable neighborhood with a gentle density, tree lined streets & a robust offering of retail/commercial amenities was the standard for suburban development in pre-war America. We'd do well to re-apply its form today!

🎉🎉 Richmond City Council has unanimously repealed parking minimums! 🥳🥳
A huge thank you to our dedicated advocates and partner organizations who made this possible. This marks the beginning of our journey towards abundant and affordable housing for everyone in RVA!

Every year when we do our repaving program we integrate bike and ped improvements into the contract. This past fall we added protected bike facilities to all schools, including a diverter on 47th and protected intersections on Adeline. We removed ~25 parking spaces for this one.
@JohnBauters just wanted to say thank you for this. I know how hard you’re working to build these, and I want you to know how much we appreciate it. It makes school drop off so much safer and less stressful. 🚲

OK so this is pretty wild... If you live in Portland, there are now four — 4! — e-bike rebate programs simultaneously in the works and/or possible. Local, regional, state and federal. If they stack well together, folks might just get free e-bikes. 🤯

Another day, another CEQA attack on urban densification & reduced car usage.
(This one says San Diego didn't adequately study "environmental" impacts of lowering parking minimums near transit.)

Zoning regulations constrict housing supply and make affordable housing less accessible. It’s time to remove these roadblocks so Montanans can better afford to live in the communities they work in.
