DOT is on an unprecedented deregulatory blitz. The Trump admin calls this cutting red tape. Left unmentioned is just how many of the targeted rules sought to prevent deaths/injuries.

On train lines that share commuter functions with Amtrak, why does it feel like Amtrak mucks the local schedule up on purpose?

Who says you can’t traffic calm an arterial? We (Toole Design) designed these raised crosswalks as part of the Madison Ave project on Bainbridge Island. Madison Ave is a Minor Arterial, one of the main north-south routes through town.

“The e-bike market is skyrocketing — and, according to some studies, outpacing electric cars…The question now is: Do officials double down on deadly car-centric urban design, or do they rethink cities to encourage people to ditch four wheels for two?”

E-bikes could cut carbon, congestion, and costs — if cities take them seriously
E-bike sales are booming, providing a clean form of transportation that also improves public health. Yet cities remain committed to cars.

There is much chatter, a lot of it negative, about e-bikes in CT, specifically youth on e-bikes. We wanted kids outside, independent and off video games, right? Let’s put some harm reduction practices in place (safety education for drivers and riders) and keep going. This is an exciting trend.

I love taking the train. The conductors are all amazing. The Hartford line for the last few months (at least) is a mess. Not being able to rely on arrival/departure times and this morning, even having a train, is brutal. Fare increase? I don’t think so. 🫠
