In the US, the vast majority of the professionals who procure bike racks (landscape architects, architects, civil engineers, facility managers, etc.) don’t commute by bike. Many don’t test racks before picking a model. This result is therefore no surprise.

Seattle’s climate and housing efforts collide against an unexpected bottleneck State and city lawmakers have mandated denser housing and the electrification of new homes. A weak link has emerged.

We need to figure out why underground power costs in the US are so high. Lower-income countries in Europe do it, why can’t we? First place I’d look is what our standards are for it and whether they require more overdimensioning than in Europe www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Work to lay the ground work for a interior New England Rail Network continues at pace (albeit a slow pace)

A major component? A total reworking and restoration of Springfield Union Station from its current operationally decrepit state

I’m far from the first person to note this, but it’s so striking how for hundreds of years American artists have looked to one of two settings for inspiration: our cities and our countryside

Nothing about the generic suburbs of America, where most people live!

DoorDash Suspends New York City Operations
Ahead of Blizzard
DoorDash has activated its Severe Weather
Protocol and will temporarily suspend operations across New York City from 8:30 PM ET tonight.
Depending on conditions, we may shut down sooner. Operations will remain suspended until at least 12:00 PM ET on Monday, February 23.
We're shutting down at least 30 minutes ahead of the citywide travel ban to ensure deliveries are completed and Dashers are safely off the road before streets close at 9:00 PM.
Statement from DoorDash spokesperson Julian Crowley:
"New York City is bracing itself ahead of a historic blizzard - the first in nearly a decade - with a foot of snow or more and dangerous wind gusts expected. We're suspending operations early to keep Dashers safe and off the streets before the travel ban takes effect. We're closely monitoring conditions and will resume as soon as it's safe to do so."
DoorDash will continue to monitor conditions and guidance from local officials and will communicate

Can geothermal technology solve the CT electricity problem? A project underway in New Haven shows the potential of the system, which harnesses heat beneath the earth. But it's not suitable everywhere.

Networked district geothermal coming to CT, great stuff from New Haven here!

This is the future, the governor foolishly killed a similar project in Hartford recently

Je m'énerve tout seul, comme un vieux con, mais j'en ai vraiment ras le bol de voir des chauffeurs livreurs stationnés sur des passages piétons : ça démultiplie les risques d'accidents pour les piétons ! 😤

Connecticut has the third-highest property taxes in the US, according to new WalletHub study Connecticut has some of the highest property taxes in the country, according to a new study from WalletHub.

Relying on the property tax is wildly regressive, especially for cities like Hartford that host so many tax-free spaces (gov/college/hospital/etc)

Tax the rich, tax capital gains, fully fund ECS and PILOT, distribute the cash to municipalities

Some exciting news from the Commissioner yesterday: DOT is rethinking train schedules for SLE, HTD & MNR lines to go beyond the old 9–5 commute.

Mentions taking a “clean slate” look at equipment, slots, and what service could look like if we were starting "from scratch"

CT on the right track🚆
