Hey hey! Congrats, bud :)

Sure, on the one hand, this will make people worse off and contribute to climate change, but on the other hand it means higher demand on the energy grid which raises electricity prices for us all! 🥳

11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

Do Lower Speed Limits Reduce Car Crashes? No One In SF Looked Until Now The 10-year Vision Zero pledge didn’t make streets safer. But on some roads, ‘20 mph is plenty’ marked a big shift. Here's what we found.

Fun to chat with Kristi Coale about transportation in San Francisco. We discussed her analysis of data on lower speed limits and potential effects on traffic safety. The early results look promising, which she covers here in The Frisc (@thefrisc.bsky.social):

Sup. Engardio shares the news that this intersection - Lawton and 42nd - has been modified to deter sideshows.

Folks there's gotta be a way we can get a BayWheels station right at the Berryessa BART Station, and not a few hundred yards away.

So incredibly useful to have an IKEA right on Market Street in SF.

Yeah 🚩🚩🚩

Hostile architecture renders public space miserable for everyone

Good look at the Waymo engineering vehicle. San Francisco.

A map of Safe Streets for All projects across Seattle. The text says: We are building neighborhood-scale safety upgrades at over 80 locations by 2030. These Safe Streets for All projects will provide safer options for you to walk, bike, roll, or get to transit. They will improve safety for people with disabilities or other mobility needs. They also give you more space when you’re walking or riding a bike and help you cross the street more safely. Building these projects supports our Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030. 

We installed pedestrian islands at 10th Ave & E Pike St on Capitol Hill. These boost visibility, offer a safe pause for people walking & rolling, and make crossings safer for everyone.

Over 80 planned safety upgrades across Seattle are part of Safe Streets for All: seattle.gov/transportati...

Yes! Certainly a reasonable call to use the earlier figure.

Appreciate this update!

Two guys in their twenties are playing jenga right now - plazas will draw people if there are things to do.

Thanks for engaging with the project, Greg!
