We should regulate noisy exhaust pipes out of existence in towns and cities.

Universal daylighting will make intersections safer, but it can also improve your neighborhood in other ways 🌳

When it rains, does it flood so much that it's hard to cross the street? Daylighting can help with that! We can use the reclaimed curb space to absorb excess rainfall:

Hay operativo a restaurantes en la Cuauhtémoc, CDMX, tras choque de auto A un día de que un automóvil se impactara contra la terraza de un restaurante de la alcaldía Cuauhtémoc, se desplegó un operativo.

Un auto choca contra un restaurante... y las autoridades locales en CdMx hacen operativos a los restaurantes y les exigen un seguro de responsabilidad civil. En serio? www.excelsior.com.mx/comunidad/ha...

#MexicoCity plans to regulate e-assisted vehicles as motorcycles. I believe this is an incomplete proposal that will mantain car privileges as they are, without improving #RoadSafety I am ready to discuss this, #Mobility skies!

A Toronto Star article: "Ford government’s own research warned that removing Toronto bike lanes may not ease congestion, may make roads less safe"

The government was warned that its plan to remove bike lanes may not get traffic moving as advertised, documents show.

A Toronto Star article: "Ford government’s own research warned that removing Toronto bike lanes may not ease congestion, may make roads less safe" The government was warned that its plan to remove bike lanes may not get traffic moving as advertised, documents show.

The CIMA report — created in November 2024 and which cost the government more than $15,000 — warns that bike lane removals could increase collisions by more than 54 per cent, might increase the number of bicycles on sidewalks and create lane closures during the bike lane removal process. 

Removing bike lanes, the report’s authors say, may increase vehicle capacity on the roads, but “the actual alleviation of congestion may be negligible or short-lived due to other confounding factors or induced demand,” they warned.

Removing bike lanes, the report’s authors say, may increase vehicle capacity on the roads, but “the actual alleviation of congestion may be negligible or short-lived due to other confounding factors or induced demand,” they warned.

The court documents also show there were concerns about the effects of removing bike lanes on small businesses — a worry echoed publicly by the Bloor Annex Business Improvement Area. 

A briefing note from the MTO dated in August 2024, raised concerns that bike lane removals could lead to “negative impacts on local businesses” due to reduced foot traffic, as “evidence shows that bike lanes have a positive impact on local retail businesses.” That same briefing also notes that “cycling has been shown to have a positive impact on congestion in North American cities,” warning that the proposed restrictions on bike lanes “may not have the desired goal of reducing congestion.”

MTO staff also warned that the removal of city infrastructure may not be viewed as “the best use of taxpayers resources,” and paying for bike lane removals may risk “potential legal action and audit.”

A cabinet document, signed off by Sarkaria and Environment Minister Andrea Khanjin, also noted that bike lane removals might have a negative impact on middle- and low-income Ontarians’ access to “a low-cost transportation mode,” and that overall, requiring municipalities to get provincial approval, would go against the province’s stated goal of reducing red tape.

How to Turn Cities Into Biketopias? Make it Harder to Drive There In New York and other cities where congestion pricing policies, bike infrastructure projects, and car bans have been put in place, cyclists are finding the streets more welcoming.

"Perhaps congestion pricing is the first big domino to fall in New York’s next bicycling evolution."

Diputados y organizaciones pidieron la reposición del proceso y la renuncia del integrante del Comité.

El señor renuncia… por cierto, sin sanciones aún.

La diputada Elizabeth Mayela, quien fue responsable del dictamen de integración del comité, dijo que había sido un error “humano”. Pero al día siguiente al currículum plagiado, se encontró otra irregularidad mayor: el señor Salvador Munguía había falsificado una carta de recomendación.

Al buscar más información sobre las trayectorias de los integrantes del Comité de selección,
resultó que el nombrado como Secretario Salvador Rafael Munguía Perez tenía un currículum que no coincidía. Nadie lo conocía, y había ursupado el CV de otro aspirante al Comité: Salvador Gomez Rocha

Este Comité saco a mediados de febrero la convocatoria para la Titular de Instituto de Planeación.

Solo daba 5 días para una inscribirse y presentar un plan.

Tiene que ser mujer, por reglas de paridad: se alternan hombre (anterior titular) y mujer.

En enero 2015, las comisiones unidas de planeación y administración pública entrevistaron a los posibles integrantes de esta comisión de selección.

Sin embargo, dejaron perfiles valiosos fuera como @naxhelli.bsky.social y Pilar Muriedas.

Este nuevo gobierno liderado por @clarabrugada tiene la posibilidad de crear un Instituto nuevo, con liderazgo y posibilidad de consensos.

Hace unos meses comenzó con la elección del Comité de selección, que está compuesto por 5 expertos de distintas disciplinas.

HOT RESEARCH NEWS!

Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor...

Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

"Reducir plazas de parking en el lugar de trabajo disminuye uso 🚘, con un efecto mayor si además se introduce una tarifa de aparcamiento diario. Y en el domicilio, una mayor distancia al lugar donde se estaciona el vehículo disminuye la probabilidad de conducir, sobre todo en áreas urbanas densas"
