I think the bike signals on Market really confuse people. I mean, yes, there are two red arrows staring right at them, but it’s apparently not enough

BTW the"overpopulated" Grad Hospital neighborhood has about half as many residents as it did at its historical peak but of course people will call Phoenix, Arizona overpopulated so

You gotta see the flyer I got about it last year. Not only will it displace the people of the I-2 lot with the overlay preventing I-2 uses but it will also displace OUR DREAMS

Here are the details. You *can* vote on Zoom, but I highly recommend showing up in person, because the NIMBYs will try to discredit your voice regardless, and it's harder for them to do this if you show up in person. www.sosnaphilly.org

The NIMBYs are trying to kill housing and retail on Washington Ave on the site of an abandoned industrial lot and I fear they will get their way. I regret to inform you that you gotta show up at Tindley Temple *Wednesday evening* to save this project. I got a babysitter for this.

The City of Philadelphia is expediting reversing the street direction of the 600 block of South LeCount Street. This may save lives. Immediate action is possible!

Thanks to our tech lead Ee & other PBA volunteers and average Philadelphians doing their part, we’ve already completely changed the level and quality of data that the PPA is receiving on dangerously parked vehicles. whyy.org/articles/new...

A flier taped to a streetlight pole that reads:

β€œI also have access to a printer,
And I say
Upzoning is cool and good and it is my friend

Let β€˜em build some housing! What're you worried about, people with jobs and homes using the Red Line?

Atraid of density? then why did you move to the big city my good friend [emoji making a β€˜this guy’s nuts!’ gesture]

β€˜But I wanna drive my car!’
The bus is better because you can read a book on the bus

Dear β€˜Save Edgewater’: If I ever see you again claming that increasing supply increases prices I will spank your bottom and enroll you in an econ class at Loyola

Say YES to proposed Upzoning in Edgewater

How it Works:

Go to bikeaction.org/laser to access Laser Vision. Follow the onscreen prompts and submit. That’s it!

You must have a bikeaction.org account to submit to Laser Vision.

Remember: never confront drivers. Be kind, report accessibility violations, and stay safe!

Snap a photo of a vehicle obstruction and Laser Vision will submit a report to PPA's Mobility Access Violation form using location, make, and model captured automatically from your photo.

Councilman Young is seeing the emails, keep pushing! Email CMs Johnson and Squilla as well if you can (they are aware of the petition but it still could help)

If you say so. I don’t think these are separate questions unless you think β€œcause I say so” is a good enough reason that it’s β€œwrong.” The basis of your value judgement is hard to pin down and it seems like you just don’t like it. I’m sure they don’t like it either!

I don’t think it’s wrong if it’s the tool that achieves compliance. I don’t even think it’s unrelated! Transportation and housing have a synergistic relationship and always have, and not only that but they’re also tied together through things like property taxes

Municipalities basically only exist because the states want them to and the legal autonomy they’re granted by their states varies *a lot*. Is Polis violating Colorado’s state constitution or other laws here?

The idea that presidents can’t do this typically relies on constitutional arguments that don’t apply to the relationship between governors and municipalities. Despite the fact that almost all of them copy aspects of our federal system (like having a β€œsenate”), states are not federations

I hope someone is working on a version of the squid game for all the people mentioned in this story

In 1981 the road has card parked in all areas of it. Today it is pedestrianised.

Having a nice time with my son on the Schuylkill River Trail but can’t help but think about how much nicer it would be if the cars on Kelly Drive were forced to slow down. The speed limit is 25 mph but if they were actually going anywhere near that it wouldn’t be so loud
