As a bona fide parking nerd, I had to visit HdM’s 1111 Lincoln Rd today while staying in South Beach.
I’ve gotta say, it’s pretty great!

💪 3/11 Day of Action: On March 11, we’re using Denver’s 311 system to demand safe+accessible streets, honoring the 93 lives lost last year, and pushing leaders to meet Vision Zero—Zero deaths and or serious injuries on the road by 2030. Sign up to express interest only, with details coming soon.

Is that a normal Chicago thing? I’ve never seen anything like that before.

Before (2023) / After (2026) the pedestrianization and greening of a big part of Place Félix Éboué in Paris’s 12th arrondissement. The difference will be even more striking once the trees have leaves ;)

Thank you to everyone who came out for the #AlexPretti memorial ride in Oakland today. It was a huge turnout, even more than shown here at Lake Merritt, as some people peeled off since the start at Rockridge BART. @bikeeastbay.bsky.social @ebbp.bsky.social

If you’re in Denver and want to help plan, I’d welcome the assistance, as I don’t have the ability to marshall folks like I once did.
My wife has been telling me for the past few years that I need to rekindle my activist streak, so I’m shaking off the cobwebs.

OK, so we’re doing this!

Mayor Johnston, bowing to business interests and wealthy families, is moving Denver’s road safety backwards (Opinion) During this latest budget crunch, when DOTI staff members were being laid off and safety projects went unfunded, the city found nearly $100,000 to replace a thoroughly vetted design to accommodate …

As the Co-Chair of the DOTI Advisory Board, I don’t take criticizing the Mayor lightly. But we just hit the highest number ever of people killed in traffic crashes in Denver, and it’s not a priority for Mayor Johnston. Something needed to be said.

And why is the mayor not on here yet? I assume he’s still on the Nazi site.

At the Denver @thewaroncars.bsky.social event and struck by how much this movement has grown since I first got sucked in 15+ years ago.

This whole thing is infuriating.

It appears the fascists have decided that NREL is now an oil and gas research lab.

Get your tickets #bikeden #bikefrontrange

Why do I love living in Boston? Yo-Yo Ma playing the Bach cello suites before bringing Mayor Wu out to duet for an encore, that’s why.

What's especially fun about yesterday discovering my shoutout in Life After Cars, is that this evening I'm delivering a talk to @wesmars.bsky.social's class at CU Denver on my exploits in tactical urbanism, for I believe the 7th year in a row.
I had to add a slide for the first time in a few years

Book index

Got my copy of Life After Cars this weekend and after a tipoff from Doug that there might be a surprise in there, I decided to check out the index.
Just before Fietsersbond, good company!
@thewaroncars.bsky.social

Congrats on the launch fellas!

Hell yeah

Nice chamfered curbs too!

You’ve got a podcast!

DBL Press Release after the Mayor’s team presents his final bond project list to Council tonight.

The guy drove up onto the sidewalk and flattened this sign, then just drove off. I was riding the other way and I saw him careening back across the road toward me and started to bail before he regained control.

I almost got run over by a maniac in a 2500 this morning.

Michelle Wu's bike lanes are a disaster. Bike lanes make traffic worse. They're inconvenient for seniors and families. They harm small businesses. Most are permanently installed, even though it's too cold to ride four months a year. And yet, Mayor Wu has spent millions of your tax dollars on these bike lanes, despite strong community opposition. + Text Message • SMS

If the Josh Kraft campaign or superpac is going to unsolicitedly text me their nonsense about bike lanes in Boston, I sure as hell am going to text them back pictures of the dead.
I’ve consoled hundreds because of our unsafe #Boston roads.
Kick rocks.
