Pedestrian Observations: Why Building Metros is Necessary for the Green Transition Away from Cars pedestrianobservations.com/2026/03/10/w...
I think this is so different based on neighborhood and city you live in in the USA it’s difficult to generalize. I think the story you tell is the most common one but I don’t know if it applies in San Diego county.
Yes important to remember congestion charges are authorized by Congress for all states willing to participate in the value pricing pilot, and for the purposes of highway law dc is a state!
They definitely can’t lol.
OMG new conspiracy theory I just learned from my 11 yo. The Wilt Chamberlain 100 point game never happened because there's no video of it.
Would love someone to interview a lawyer and speak to conflict of federal and state sovereignty at the heart of this dispute. Notably it does the opposite and equates a county health inspection to a congressperson seeking to do oversight.
A new report by @thedotcity.bsky.social quantifies the economic toll of downtown freeways, and the economic potential of tearing them down.
The 66K acres that downtown freeways occupy could yield more than half a trillion dollars of development and over $5b annually in property taxes.
I think the Israeli‘s have been made stupider by Bibi‘s forever ministry.
Why would you think the people in charge know anything of history.
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
