They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

"In most cities, ~ 80% of the crashes occur on 15-20% of roadways. We can make changes to that number. We don’t have to change 100% of our roadways, but we can be strategic & target these places and immediately see benefits in no longer killing our neighbours." -Kelcie Ralph

Rep. Elison says there's been lots of bills, but nothing's really changed on a federal level. So he's proposing to deal with what he can control: Utah joins Hawaii and Arizona on standard time.

Good trade.

I find zero value in celebrity culture until we get to Keri Russell, who doesn't hop on a bike for the "look at me" photo shoot, but rather lives the bikes-for-transportation lifestyle in Brooklyn NY.

99% of all residential parcels in the City of Boston do not conform with modern zoning.

“Without case-by-case zoning relief, the current zoning code effectively declares that nothing should be built in Boston that looks like what is currently in Boston.”

Rep. Elison has filed a bill to ditch Daylight Saving Time: le.utah.gov/~2025/bills/... #utpol

House Majority Whip Dailey-Provost has filed a bill on food carts and bicycles: le.utah.gov/~2025/bills/...

In Swampscott the minimum lot sizes for single family ONLY zones (some 80% of residential land) are as follows:

We are 13 miles from downtown Boston.

IMPORTANT: Study finds electrifying SUVs/pick-ups could actually INCREASE emissions by using up scarce battery material that could otherwise be used to electrify a lot MORE smaller cars (and e-bikes). Via @sciencedirect.bsky.social

SUVs are too big. #CarBloat
