I recognize that, station Sainte Dorothée right ?

I mean that's the issue, most of the places building housing and growing their population and deep red.
If blue states don't care enough about homelessness to build housing in the first place, they should do it just so they don't force their population to move to fascistland

Has the rate changed or stayed the same while property values exploded ?

And I'm not saying enforcement is totally useless, but the better design the less encroachment, making enforcement more achievable and less resource intensive.
Trying to fine your way into making a bike gutter parking free is like bucketing the titanic

That's why sidewalks in Paris for example always have bollards, because parking scarcity is high enough for that to happen (and curbs are low)
Flexposts, jerseys can fill a similar role for bike lanes without endangering cyclists like bollards too close can, but there's still a width cost

It's not just about fear, it's also about bad design.
A good bikway design makes encroachment either impossible or an absurdity
In which case drivers don't even think about parking there, so no need to rely on after the fact policing.

Good transit and bikeway design is either throwing money at the problem and making the whole space inaccessible to cars or using road design to make the space undesirable to drivers, in which case paint can in fact be infrastructure

A comprehensive look at the "fight for the curb," which defines much of our everyday street experience and significantly hampers the effectiveness of bus lanes. Not quite like NACTO’s sanitized axonometries full of law-abding road users ;-)

@chittimarco.bsky.social calls it "the fight for the curb". Drivers just want to park there because it makes sense, is convenient and feels safe, whereas parking on the inside is inconvenient, unsafe and feels wrong.

- zoning heights is a tool created by the homeowners to become rich by exarbating the housing crisis so their house values go up forever

- It's better if rich people live in boxes in the sky with no cars than renovicting existing working class neighborhood

- Artificial scarcity of height buildable land also makes social housing construction a lot more expensive than it needs to because they still have to buy the land

Plus, nuclear power plants would have had a field day against a pure coal competition

You ever thibk that had oil arrived twenty years later, the first cars (and trucks) would have faced an fully electrified railroad network, and second gen streetcars instead of competiting with steam locomotives and streetcars slower than a bike.

Time machine thing, but instead of going for Hitler spend twenty years setting the first industrial oil fields on fire

Hey les français, est-ce que quelqu'un peut confirmer si dans votre ville les bus c'est embarquement uniquement par la porte avant ?

This is the updated version of the European map, thanks to your collective, precious contribution!

Any further info will be appreciated, and we'll make the final database available as a spreadsheet in our upcoming Transit Priority Atlas website.

Going all in culture war against bike lanes transit and better urbanism is more and more a guaranteed way to lose an election, many cities have elected "radical" mayors in the last few years because all the others rallied against good cities

The only concrete goal they want to achieve with this is making it harder for handicapped people to work in the administration so that they quit

No he's not, they don't care to learn and don't care about their employees.
This is simply motormasculinity and and anti DEI fascism, he's just smashing randonly in the direction of things and people they hate, there's no high level plan.

This is basically the biggest building possible with the draft rules on a standard lot ?
On your plan is the smaller appartments 3br sized or would be more around 2br ?
Most importantly, do you think this rule change would truly open the gates to point access construction or there are more hurdles ?

No offense, but it really sounds like she needs a mobility aid.
I see people on electric wheelchairs in the mtl bike lanes every day, it gives them a lot of freedom

Currently on the phone with Visa

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use

The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch

Another reason to use trolleybuses, they're way lighter than diesel, and you can't compare with battery
Still needs concrete pads at stops though

Landlords almost always try to jack upnrentsx it's when it sits empty and they can't rent it because it's too expensive that they turn around and lower it

I remember hearing there's one, that's a pretty standard thing, but don't aks me where it is

Curious btw, do you know if you got a traffic spike yestarday between the original article and the reddit conversation ? It got a ton of views (66k) but idk how much of that trasnlates to more engagement

Apparently Ireland uses exclusively on rural tertiary roads making it a rural speed sign, but it still follows the same logic, restores the default speed limit

That's the international "speed restriction ends" sign which basically serves to cancel the previous specific speed sign to restore the default speed limit of the road you're on.
