Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA
Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

And yet it’s ridiculous that we still have to make this argument over and over and over again.

Here’s a suggestion for an enterprising Dem with national aspirations: start talking about how Trump is cooked, and everyone should start thinking about what comes after.
He’s a pedophile with dementia running 18th century tariff policy in the most corrupt administration in history. We can win.

This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.
The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!

Chicago has a market for parking reform
The city’s new reforms will help build more units
Zak and I coded over 900 upzoning requests introduced in Chicago to analyze how home builders responded to the city’s parking reform (part of the Connected Communities ordinance)
Guess what: they responded by building less car parking 👏

She’s being “groomed” to lie for Trump and get a pardon.

Agree. I was not a fan at all but she seems to have found her footing, at least on some issues. And she handles Trump the right way.

Mamdani needs to give a speech like Obama’s, I’m not anti war, I am anti dumb wars that achieve nothing but heartache and wasted resources. I’m for community safety. And the vast majority of the NYPD and the public are for that as well.

Good. Even those with the best of intentions need pressure to continue on the hard but right path.

Classic case of doing things in reverse … instead of laying the groundwork for material change, make an announcement and then do as little as possible to bring people along.

We need him in NYC as First Deputy Mayor working for Mamdani. He’s going to need experienced people he can trust.

Her role is to take black votes away from Cuomo, not to win. Not sure if that’s gonna happen either tho.

Dayum. He is good at retail politics. I’ll give him that.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

My 13 year old daughter asked me, why is the news always bad? I was like, that’s an excellent question.

This should be coupled with more options for biking and walking to school…

As a young reporter at the Cleveland Free Times (mid-90s), I wrote a lot of articles about sprawl and how damaging it was to the entire region. Very few people gave a shit.

as someone who has been saying “we need to get better at building things in America” for years, it’s been pretty weird to see “abundance” come around and completely polarize the issue for extremely online leftists
I literally just want more trains it’s not that deep

I was just trying to explain this whole story to my daughter … how Clinton ended up getting impeached. She was incredulous.

Where the fuck are the attack ads?! I’m so frustrated with this.

The weird obsession of the left attacking Jake Tapper is completely ridiculous. The fact is the DC Dems have allowed aging sick and mentally impaired people in significant positions of power to just stay in office year after year. It’s seriously fucked up and not just about Biden.
