Join us for our monthly ride and rendezvous - September 20, 6pm, starting at Bang Brewing. We'll check out the Chroma Zone Fest, enjoy some murals, and loop back to Bang via the Transitway. Roughly 6 miles, social pace. Weather looks amazing!

Just more fine behavior from @sppdmn Despite plenty of open parking 20 ft away, they're parked in the no parking and/or accessible parking zones. We need public employees to set a better example and follow the same laws they're tasked to enforce, unless it's a true emergency.

This is exactly the kind of small, fast, effective bets that every city, like @cityofsaintpaul and @stpaulpublicw should be doing to help make our streets more people-focused. Not years of studies that conclude the importance but ultimately whine about a lack of funds. Action.
Cincy’s first “stop-bump” has been installed at 13th and Pendleton! This pilot project will determine whether or not the small asphalt bump eliminates stop sign running, which is prevalent at this location.

If you’re a “senior Democrat” that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism. This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire.

There's an absolutely golden opportunity to move day 2 of the @cityofsaintpaul Food Truck Festival down to Shepard Rd as an Open Streets event. Let people enjoy the Mississippi River. Make it happen @stpaulpublicw @SaintPaulParks @MayorCarter @melvincarter3 @seankershaw @Ands651

Mount Pleasant, WI, was promised a $10 billion #Foxconn factory and 13,000 jobs. After spending $3 billion of taxpayer money, it got three empty buildings and a mountain of debt. Here's what its officials should've known before making that deal. 🧵

Will there be a separated bikeway detour in place? 3rd is currently the only option that offers something remotely close to this, so biking to the east side is going to be even worse and more dangerous than usual for three years.
BRIDGE CLOSURE ALERT: Starting 7/29 Kellogg-3rd St Bridge will close for 3 years in @cityofsaintpaul Detour use E 7th St. Access will be maintained to Lowertown businesses, parking lots, buildings, & Union Depot. Sign up for construction updates at stpaul.gov/Kellogg-3.

Adding street features that systematically control speeds are far better than relying on an inconsistent and often biased police presence to enforce it. Bumpouts and narrowed roadway can help work toward achieving that.
“If you want to condense the speeding, how about you patrol it? We can’t even get a (police) presence in our neighborhood. The lack of communication in our neighborhood is just huge…the bike lane, I don’t like it. It’s unsafe. That bump out? That’s stupid. Cars can’t see it.”

I appreciate that @FOX9 and @MnDOT are being honest about what expanding Interstate 94 will do, increase traffic, even if it is likely only a typo and they meant to say, incorrectly, that it will decrease traffic.

Bad design begets bad behavior. Instead of making this a two-way separated bikeway, which would work well on this street with few driveways, engineers decided on a standard striped bike lane away from the curb, so drivers constantly park in the no parking zone. Completely stupid.

This makes me chuckle: when open streets opponents toss around phrases like “they’ve turned the street into an OBSTACLE COURSE!” So they DO get it! They must slow their speed, use caution at intersections and also avoid planters/concrete blocks that might damage their car! 💯

Puts on the ol land use hat... 36 million acres of some of the best farmland on the planet are being used for a fuel source that is markedly less efficient than if that same land were being used for solar plus regenerative ag in the shade. But energy policy isn't our thing.
