Always sad these cars didn't catch on! Did the auto lobby kill them?

I know they still seat people outside year round so it's very possible there were some people outside at the time.

'He was so bubbly': Sister opens up about bicyclist killed in Philadelphia hit-and-run crash A woman identified the victim as her brother, 28-year-old Dominique Jones. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Yesterday, 28-year-old Dominique Jones was killed while riding his bicycle by a motorist at 25th & Diamond in Strawberry Mansion.

Traffic violence is real violence, and our city can do more to prevent these deaths.

okay Josh, but no one is ready to make a decision about a long term plan so how about you flex some funds so we can get there

News: Gov. Josh Shapiro addressed SEPTA's funding shortfall at today's press conference: "I want to make very clear, I will not let SEPTA fail." But he punted on a specific q on flexing federal highway funds to the agency, only saying to stay tuned in the coming weeks.

It is arguably the best fall weather in Philadelphia right now. Sunny and slight chill. A+ no notes

The irony and idiocy of appointing two people to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. Sounds like wasteful government spending run amok to me. #kakistocracy #theoffice #clowns

Ideally but septa couldn't necessarily project it would save money

The plan was cost neutral. It would have improved weeknight and weekend service, not necessarily saved money

My current conspiracy theory is that FElon Musk is suppressing "kakistocracy" on Twitter (I'll never call it X) because it hurts his feelings. Can we get #kakistocracy trending on @bsky.app??

Seeing lots of posts about spikes in Americans wanting to flee to Europe. I'll be honest, I've thought about it, too. But the thing I keep coming back to is: if I have the privilege and means to escape, I also have the privilege and means to fight back. I'm not the one they're coming after. #resist

Active transportation should be seen as complimentary modes. You should be able to use a bike to fill the gaps of transit. It's important to reference both 2020-2022 and 2019 to show the ongoing impact COVID had on transportation because we have yet to recover and instead patterns are changing.

Philly! Mark your calendars!

Sunday @ 6:30pm at Meyer's Brewing we're gathering to write letters to Josh Shapiro to pressure him to flex federal funding to support SEPTA.

The Fishtown Neighbors Association will provide all the letter writing supplies you need, along with a template of what to say.
