Oof-dah, brutal own goal

Is there a law requiring zero emissions busses? Seems like the best one to cross off this list. Those stats are fascinating.

Not sure why they wouldn’t build more parking in all these years. That is the only thing we need more of on the peninsula.

I keep meaning to figure out how wide Bryant is so I can imagine it overlaid on local streets where I live. For future me (and if anyone else finds it useful) originally Bryant Ave was 40 ft curb-to-curb with ~55 ft of ROW total. I think these are roughly accurate before and after illustrations.

Missing our week in the mountains already

Growth means fewer drivers

Sitting on my couch after a short ride to a bike shop. My shirt agrees strongly.

Is this the beginning of “Max gets a mountain bike”?

I wish Van der Poel was there too! Such a fun end to the race.

A standard San Mateo Nextdoor comment on a person getting hit in a crosswalk 😡. Clearly no other developed nation has figured this out so we should just blame the victim and move on.

“The number one reason bike infrastructure doesn’t get built in more communities is simple: elected officials don’t prioritize it. Even when funding exists and community plans call for safer streets, too many leaders back down in the face of opposition."

Views from the Stanford bike path on the way home from camp last week. My kids exclaimed: “now we can tell people we went to Stanford!” 🤣

Overall biking on campus is awesome. Connection to Caltrain for bikes could be better though.

They should have put it next to their train station 🙃

Hit 1600 miles on this e-bike recently. Excited to hit 2000 miles soon!

Fixed it

Currently driving around my mid-size rental SUV. I just want a car that is normal sized!

I wish the City of New York could implement a similar plan on ECR on the Peninsula 😂

San Mateo Climate Advocate Could Be Booted From Transportation Committee | KQED A three-year transportation committee member says he could lose his role over his advocacy against highway widening projects.

Let me know if they need access to my modal filter iCloud note. It gets better everyday!

Some highlights

The LTN/modal filter approach could be so effective on the SF Peninsula/Caltrain corridor. This latest study shows cutting off the through traffic has a negligible effect on other roads too. I hope a city gives this a go soon!

I'm in! Haven't been following things closely this year so we'll see if my picks make any sense once things get going. Should be a fun time!

Minneapolis light rail was a great ride from the airport to our hotel. Impressed how cheap it was for our family to ride.

I wish I had figured out some more bike sightseeing. Anyone with ideas feel free to chime in. We’re right in downtown as we’re going to the Gold Cup game on Sunday.

Always amazes me that Vegas doesn’t have light rail from the airport down the strip. Could be so useful and amazing!

Article headline

This is incorrect. 9/10 Americans do not own a vehicle—9/10 households own a vehicle. 3/10 Americans do not have a drivers license, fyi.

This is a great read! The "Polk Data" appears to at least have categories of vehicle in it as well. Furthering this exploration to include vehicle weight would be fascinating.

California Road Charge

CA is exploring some of this. More details at caroadcharge.com

There is supposedly a study that timed out in Jan of 2025 but I can’t find much detail on the results.
