I'm not a huge suburbs supporter, but I have to say they certainly understand snow removal way more than the city. Even the farthest parking spots are spotless at Barracks. Whereas I can't even get home because my street and sidewalks are impassable.

So I'm supposed to have my sidewalk cleared within 24 hours but the city doesn't even have to plow my street once in that time? I don't understand the double standard. #charlottesville

How come I lived in Michigan for 27 years and it wasn't until yesterday I learned about the spray your shovel with WD-40 and the snow won't stick trick?? Worked great.

Does anyone study what percentage of car trips are legal? As in, the driver does not violate the motor vehicle code the entire trip. Or is it just known to be zero percent?

I think this is true (hopefully it's not) but if Charlottesville had set a goal last December of increasing the city's protected bike lanes by at least 1 foot in 2025, they would not be on track to meet that goal.

It was never a “deal.” It was a rigged “negotiation” to freeze these demographics.

This is harmful not just because it's victim blaming, but that it creates a false equivalence in terms of the responsibility of drivers and pedestrians: "bright clothes, headlights on."
Drivers have *much more* responsibility to keep road users safe! And that includes not speeding.

Hey Marylanders! Darker evenings don’t mean more danger on our roads. Just a little extra caution — bright clothes, headlights on — can make a huge difference.
Let’s keep each other safe. Be the difference!

not my idea, but it’s a very good one and I’m going to start pushing it: the City of Charlottesville should aim to permanently close the Downtown Mall vehicle crossings no later than 8/12/2027.

Presumably, the late notice was an attempt to be strategic and avoid scrutiny? That seems to have backfired as it makes the response urgent and not something to get to later when time frees up (which it never does).
@mtgillikin.bsky.social up. notes how disrespectful the way this proposal was brought up was so disrespectful. spent 15 hours on a holiday weekend getting up to speed on this shit!

The bar is low in Charlottesville, but two new (short, painted) bike lanes are exciting! One at McCormick and University, and the other east on JPA at Brandon.

How come in Charlottesville the time between a public open house to replace a 100 year old water main and tearing up Locust is like 2 weeks, but none of the bike lane projects seem to ever get started?
