BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR Sidewalk parking damages sidewalks, which weren't made to handle the weight of a vehicle, and often property owners pay the price.

Note: they almost dumped mulch on me when I walked past the truck again on my way home.

NOPE. "State DOTs from Utah to New York have likewise claimed that adding lanes to congested highways will lower emissions because fewer cars will be stuck in traffic." #CleanRides

US transportation agencies keep claiming that expanding highways will reduce climate change. That's absurd. In @voxdotcom I explained why. 🧵 vox.com/future-perfect/36301…

Today, we opened a newly refinished Chestnut Street in Pittsburgh’s Northside. This historic street which connects several Northside neighborhoods to Downtown and the Strip District has been restored in brick to resemble its original design.

IYKYK: Part of the Penn Circle project includes making this final block of Friendship Ave -> Baum official with a contra-flow bike lane. Still to come: a bike signal at the intersection and fixing that dang pothole.

enforcement = effectiveness smartcitiesdive.com/news/cit…

As cities add bus and bike lanes, traffic enforcement keeps them clear

Automated cameras mounted on transit buses or fixed locations such as traffic signals can help catch violators and protect these priority lanes.
