Ok this post opened way too much cursed Dallas juju in the replies. I need to stick to places that don’t make only awful decisions.
No he’s not. He doesn’t read.
100 page report with 33 of existing conditions? There’s our white collar cost problem.
I think there’s already an express bus in hov right?
This is also like half the buses of septa.
especially when most traffic danger is caused by the king tail of the second, third and forth standard deviation
Yeah first one is fine. Notably he suggests many physical impediments to speed which are in fact better than stop signs. People cruising at 20 > stop signs every block where people speed up and decelerate.
The first post is actually good. lots of countries have very few stop signs and use roundabouts and traffic circles instead. However the replies are just heinous.
No one paid me the 200k necessary to think about that.
He’ll yeah
You had to admire Dallas’ ability to spend money on useless stuff. They would absolutely be killing it if they could spend money on useful stuff.
In the inside baseball of Capitol Hill this is increasingly becoming a large source of tension.
It’s actually good because bankrupting the highway trust fund will wrestle highways into the messy sty of appropriations where they will lose over and over again.
I said what I said.
1 hr service on CR should not get funding.
Holy crap, the Dallas suburbs spent over a million bucks a rider on this line
Silver Line is averaging about 1800 riders per day since adding the fare. When I lost the vote on the Silver Line in 2017 arguing ridership didnt justify cost, we were told ridership projections would be 6800 per day.
Yeah this is like how they need people who play organ right?
Well hopefully people studying religious studies would have that one!
Isn’t this how the conditional offers work currently? Though I think it’s fine to have more than 2 universities with elite students in a country of 70 MM
Summer airfares could spike in the coming weeks.
“I'd expect that airlines are seeking to pass on as much of the higher fuel costs to consumers as soon as possible.”

This is true but experience seems to indicate that such fees if they have large loop holes (ie dad driving you), that those loopholes eat up the capacity. The work or @lewislehe.bsky.social is very instructive on this.
How could one even do that given FHWA approval would be needed.
NEWS: @mayorbowser.dc.gov has very unexpectedly released a report @ddotdc.bsky.social finished five years ago on what implementing congestion pricing in D.C. would look like. She had refused to make it public since it was done, but now calls congestion pricing "the wrong policy at the wrong time."
😂
There has been a clear change in elite preference among under 40s. This has driven the gentrification of Brooklyn, the YIMBY movement and the transit costs project. People do not want to drive because it sucks if you sit at the right combo of size and lack of freeways.
The truth is most places did not see a need to build a rapid transit system and make it successful because most politicians from the 50s onward believed everyone had a right to a car and a yard, and very rarely was the city allowed to say no to the highway.
Basically at the stations west of Tyson’s minus Dulles and Wiehle have such weak ridership right now it makes you question their existence. At least Spring Hill and Greensboro are nominally long term TOD plays but I’m very skeptical of anything west of that.
I would in fact argue that large amounts of people didn’t want TOD at north Bethesda so it did not happen for a very long time. Meanwhile DC opened a station on red line 30 years after it opened and within 2 decades it was the busiest non-downtown station.
Open Streets has been a resounding success for Center City's economy, but it comes at a time when so many neighborhood street festivals are cancelling due to police overtime costs. Archer barriers are the solution, and the Mayor should fund them in the capital budget so people can rent them!
