Reminds me of the @riograndeplan.bsky.social - have you heard of it?

First time I've ever heard a song in 7/8 in a political campaign video (last ~10 seconds)

It’s only a slight exaggeration to say that the official enviro position should be: “Maximize development of luxury housing near fixed transit.”

A 🧵 on why.

Just called again 👏🏼

Provo UT folks!

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Wait, it's only now opening? I definitely snuck in there a few months ago 🙃

if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

"Chicken in every pot & Waymo in every city" is also a backward-looking vision. Let's aim for every city to have high-frequency, reliable, accessible electric bus-and-train networks integrated with safe pedestrian & cyclist infrastructure. Also taco trucks on every corner.

In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him.

Utah folks - are the retaliatory Chinese tariffs going to have an impact on alfalfa farmers? IIRC a bunch of Utah alfalfa gets exported to China

Sounds like we need a Norwalk, California chapter

That's what the PDF says that I linked to in my other tweet, and also what Street View shows. I was there last week visiting my brother and just noticed it while we were walking around

I'm not sure how this relates to state law, but there's a section of 29th Street in Uptown Minneapolis that has this "Multi-Use Roadway" sign. cc @lauragmitchell.com

Just in case you're asking in good faith, here's the relevant page from the PDF Laura linked to.

tl;dr - some of the current car trips will continue to use the boulevard, some will use other streets in the grid, some will switch to other modes like transit, and some won't get taken anymore.

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

Trump Administration Prioritizes High-Birthrate Areas for Transportation Funds (Gift Article) Some policy experts said they were not sure how the move was connected to the president’s overall transportation goals.

This is largely going to have pro-highway, anti-transit impacts -

but a small silver lining could be that Utah, perhaps the most pro-transit red state, could move to the front of the funding line in time to build some real transit improvements for the 2034 Olympics

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.
