We need to end the myth that emergency vehicles need to drive at unsafe speed.

Yeah, I’m a NIMBY… for mosquitoes!

I can think of a lot of streets in Cville where this would fit. I should make a list.

My evergreen message to society is that people with mobility challenges shouldn't have to seek out trails for such activity, the infrastructure should be properly baked into the design of where they live.

if you’re in line to deny pierogi to alan dershowitz, STAY IN LINE

Correct.

Who gives a shit

I can’t imagine thinking “my neighborhood is nice, I should make sure no one else gets to experience this” instead of “my neighborhood is nice, I hope more people get to experience how great it is”

I appreciate the perseverance

This is what people are referring to when they talk about preserving "naturally occurring affordable housing": old rundown homes that need $$$ to be maintained and/or rehabbed. There is no free lunch with housing.

Yes, this.

Rockingham: 20-year-old woman dead after bicycle struck by car A 20-year-old Rockingham County woman is dead after her bicycle was struck by a vehicle on Oakwood Drive on Sunday.

This is heartbreaking news to me. Marilyn was the same age as my daughter Robyn.

Too often, I read of crashes involving elderly drivers. A 20-year-old with their whole life ahead of them, had it taken by a 85-year-old driver. I strongly feel that road safety testing should increase as people age.

Bayside Cyclist Zhao Feng Zhen Killed at Queens Intersection: A Tragedy with Many To Blame On Thursday, July 31 at around 2:18 p.m., 55-year-old Bayside resident Zhao Feng Zhen was riding her bike southbound on Hollis Court Boulevard near 50th Avenue in Queens Village when she was struck…

Zhao Feng Zhen deserves justice. She did not deserve to get struck by a driver and left to die in the street. All she was doing was getting around on her e-bike. Thorough coverage from Queens Greenway.

Anyway, buy or borrow @wesmars.bsky.social ‘s book. It’s very good and will give you ammunition for your next letter to council or public comment.

Of course, the entire bargain is a fallacy. If we planned like the Dutch, prioritizing other modes of transportation, especially in cities, those 2 extra minutes would be recovered and then some.

I’m in the middle of Killed by a Traffic Engineer and it seems like our whole society was built around this misprioritization islandpress.org/books/killed...

“Last time” 😬

Correct.
