Reminiscing on my career so far -

Early 2000’s, summer internship working for a midsize engineering company. I was sent out across Baltimore City to look at existing infrastructure to prep for the (now scuttled) Red Line - mostly signals and on-street parking.

Mitigating difficulties regarding accessibility of transportation to families with young children - free minivans? Car seat discounts? Or just nixing transit because it’s hard to wrangle kids on a bus?
very weird stuff from DOT, prioritizing spending in areas with "marriage and birth rates higher than the national average" www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...

Where’s my package, where’s my gift card, where’s my jelly of the month?

Refresh pages, update tracking, where on earth is East Pelunth?

I sent this in late November, what do you mean that it’s not there?

So much for express delivery, guess they’re getting underwear!

Traffic engineers - hated by drivers for giving room to bikes and peds, hated by bikes and peds for giving room to cars, ignored and underfunded by the politicians who won’t be convinced there are better ways to do things.

The cycle continues forever - is it any wonder we don’t enjoy engaging?
