Yesssss and the city should also be setting the example by shoveling their own properties!

Pet Peeve: Saying that sidewalks are the responsibility of the property owner and not the city ignores the fact that it's *the city* that is ultimately responsible for enforcement.

...and if that accountability system doesn't work, then its *the city* that then is in charge of creating new system.

Do we really have to go through some mandatory period where we all pretend that Homan is ANY better than Bovino? The man’s a scumbag, literally the architect of the family separation policy that abducted 5 year old Liam Ramos from his community in MN and put him in a concentration camp in TX.

Just called all my #congresspeople to express my concern that #ICE is violating the #ConstitutionalRights of #USCitizens and the legal rights of others. Took about 30 seconds each. So quick& easy. Remember the principles our country was built on. #Congress #Immigration

We're at the "Don't go out in public if you have brown skin because you might be murdered or kidnapped" stage of white supremacist fascism.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said the FBI seized and will not share key pieces of evidence, such as Good's vehicle.

Moriarty and Ellison are asking the public to submit evidence through the following secure portal. bit.ly/3Yz2CZv

Hi, my name is ________ and I live in _________.

I’m calling to register my opposition to (IF ASSEMBLY) Bill A6235 (IF SENATE) Bill S4834, which would require licenses and registration to operate low-speed e-bikes. License and registration laws for e-bikes will not address roadway fatalities, but it will create barriers to bike use, leading to more car traffic, more pollution, and more dangerous roads in New Jersey. The number-one source of over 500 fatalities and 3,000 serious injuries on New Jersey's roadways in 2025 were cars. Please vote no and ask your colleagues to do the same.

(if leaving a message): If you have any questions, I’d be happy to talk and can be reached at ______.

Here is a phone script from @bikejc.org on the damaging e-bike bill that is about to be put to a full legislative vote on Monday. A6235/S4834 Call your Assembly Members and Senator today. www.njleg.state.nj.us/legislative-...

@cycliq.bsky.social design team seriously needs a revamp. Troubleshooting my poor audio quality only to find that their own case covers up the sound holes 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Not to mention the different method of off/on switch from front/back cameras drives me nuts on the daily

Richmond woman says there’s no excuse for driver hitting museum director: 'The pedestrian has a right of way' The Richmond Police Department’s crash team continues to investigate a fatal collision that killed a beloved Richmond museum director over the weekend.

Richmond woman (Jamie Brown) says there’s no excuse for driver hitting museum director: 'The pedestrian has a right of way'

My daughter Robyn was at VCU before she was killed bicycling in NYC.

I know the City of Richmond has been making improvements for pedestrians.

This was reckless driving.

With two pedestrians killed in the last two weeks in #Philly, there is NO excuse for blocking a crosswalk & obscuring visibility #VisionZero #DontBlockTheCrosswalk #LineOfSight @bcgp.bsky.social @bikeaction.org @5thsqadvocacy.org @familiesforsafestreets.org @inquirer.com @transit4philly.bsky.social

We call emergency community meetings to debate the "dangers" of ebikes, but systemic vehicular violence continues to get a pass from society at large.

A reminder that cars aren’t a technology problem. They’re a geometry problem.

Why do like 85% of trucks on the highway have pedestrian deflectors but < 20% in #Philly have them? Is it certain state laws? #VisionZero #PedestrianSafety #BikeSafety #BikeCommuter @familiesforsafestreets.org @bikeaction.org @bcgp.bsky.social @councilmemberjg.bsky.social

Amazing how the media removes the PERSON WHO DID THE HITTING from the sentence. The vehicle managed to kill a pedestrian and drive away all by itself. So sad for this family. #VisionZero #philly #traffic deaths

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

Many folks in the advocacy community know that efforts to lower driving speeds save lives...so in most places we're left to grapple with this reality where we know that most people and institutions choose to accept a certain amount of preventable human suffering as unavoidable collateral damage.

Cargo biking, 99 years ago. Came across this in a photo archive, unfortunately with no info on who or where, just the year, 1926. But it made me think of @lauragmitchell.com and her lovely feed of her commutes to school and around town with her children.
