A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. buff.ly/cnl5KKl

Who paints over a mural? I am mad about this. Reply if you know the location.

Jacked up wannabe monster truck of an F150

Just a normal, street-legal vehicle in the ol’ US of A. Could have probably fit in one parking space, but didn’t bother. 🙄

Mugs hanging on display

Common Market in Durham has a little free library for coffee mugs. Today I left some. Got get a mug and a cup of coffee soon

Shout out to my Apple “Find My” voice who always ends notifications with rising tone? He’s my own personal king of upspeak? He’s not sure if I left my iPad or AirTag somewhere while I’m on a run? Not at all definitive? Leaving some room for doubt? Love it?

Thoughts on Pope Leo XIV:
1. XIV, isn’t Elon Musk’s kid? No, that was X Æ A-12.
2. Charlie XCX doesn’t understand Roman numerals.
3. XIV is a cool name. I’d pronounced it “ziv”

The pollening is coming

Contractors work on the base for the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) push-button blinky lights.

The long-awaited crosswalk light is coming to EK Powe at Ninth St. With already reduced speed limit, added flexposts, and removal of the Knox St. slip lane, safety for kids walking and biking is improving. Now how do we get driver parents off Ninth and onto Edith to use the drop-off line?

Not a single person outside of a car in this ad.

Dogwood tree flowers (I think?)

Get ready for blossoms then pollen season

Map of where I need to run.

I have five new neighborhoods to run to get back to 💯% on CityStrides. #everysinglestreet

@aaronlubeck.bsky.social I’m interested in sketching the most reasonable home that couldn’t be built under the OWD NPO and the craziest thing that could. I don’t want NPOs to survive the UDO rewrite, without tweaks at least.

There’s a house that looks similar to that near NCCU. Do you know is there’s any connection?

Neon Durham mural at Wheels

Y’all, our city owns a roller rink. How cool is that? It is super fun, and I definitely recommend. I will be back.

Photo taken from passenger seat while waiting at a red light. Right turn only sign needed to be removed.

Shout out to Durham Transportation Department. I put in a OneCall request about this right turn only sign at Main and Buchanan despite the lane being removed during restriping. They fixed it THE SAME DAY! Looking forward to the protection planned for the bike lanes between here and Broad

Beyond the EK Powe PTA and school's art program, the grant also supports half of a Bike Durham intern, to research and report on quick-build toolkits and tactical urbanism policies to boost community involvement and accelerate the city's Vision Zero efforts. Let me know if you want to get involved!

Road safety will improve at EK Powe with a community project funded by a Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership Grant. We will redesign the closed-off vehicle slip-lane at Knox St and 9th St into a vibrant space featuring a kid-designed mural and vertical elements such as planters or bike racks.

The Walltown Small Area Plan recommends bike and ped infrastructure, traffic calming, and speed bumps on West Club, Guess Road and Sedgefield Street respectively. Do you agree?
An engagement session will be March 29, 10:30-12:00 at Walltown Rec Center, 1308 W Club Boulevard. bit.ly/3QG9bpa

Also, if you know Python, help us get the Spanish menus back online; they were posted as DOCX rather than PDF this month 🤷‍♂️

maps of the routes

Durham's last Bike+Walk Plan highlighted corridors to enhance cycling connectivity to downtown Durham, greenways, and nearby neighborhoods. A project will soon design and install bicycle amenities and traffic calming along three of the routes. Participate in March! buff.ly/42YtoOn

Do you like Safe Streets & Roads for All, the Durham-to-Roxboro Rail Trail, Reimagining the Durham Freeway, Safe & Equitable Streets, or Active Regional Transportation & Neighborhood Equity? If so, contact your senators, because these projects are in Trump, Duffy, and Bradbury’s crosshairs.

Bradbury is going to burn it down like the books in Fahrenheit 451

Deputy Secretary at USDOT might be Steven Bradbury, author of Project 2025's chapter on transportation. Opposed to federal funding for Transit & Vision Zero, Big Business loves him. His confirmation hearing is Thu and $41M is at stake for Durham. Call Senators Tillis and Budd to save our approved $!

Who is Sean Duffy? Transportation secretary nominee met wife on 'Real World' Long before Sean Duffy was nominated Department of Transportation secretary, Duffy was a reality star, who appeared on various channels including MTV.

USDOT Sec. Duffy is a Reality TV star turned politician-sound familiar?

Transportation because he was on Road Rules. But now his son drives siblings to school, so he cares about safety. With 7 kids, I bet it’s a Suburban 🙄
