AVs wont fix this (they're going to make it worse). Private single lane tunnels wont fix this.
We need to get serious about getting people to and from BNA. That means buses in the near term and light rail in the medium term. We are not special and we do not need to reinvent the wheel here.

still not exactly sure why we’re punishing Cuba for anything in the 21st century
The US revoked the visas of two former senior health officials in Brazil for their involvement in a program that sent Cuban doctors to remote areas in the South American nation.

We need to do something with the Star to get PTC and the land uses right around the stations. The people want to take the train, we should figure out a way for more people to have the option to take the train.
Caltrain's electrification is successful despite what some experts claim; DC's RTO led to robust growth for VRE & MARC, SMART had a huge increase from a low base, & Metra grew the most for big systems
NYC CR is stagnant but APTA reports higher growth, & Northstar is about to be put down, RIP :/

In NYC right now and I’m amazed at just how more livable it is with fewer cars and more people due to (de)congestion pricing. No loss in vibrancy here folks!

Lean into the High Republic stuff and get out of the original era. Try to do something new. And then in a decade, try to go back and ungoof the sequels as much as you can. George Lucas tweaked Star Wars like a million times, so can y’all.
Genuine question - if you were the new head of LucasFilm, what would you do to revitalise the Star Wars franchise?

Byron Brown became mayor when I was in middle school and left City Hall after I got married in my 30s.
My point is that while I’m grateful for some of Brown’s decisions, my hometown is in desperate need of new direction and Sean will bring transformative leadership.
Please consider voting Sean!

We can’t keep making decisions that cater only to the low efficiency, high emissions mode. Public transit needs to be the future.
Today I sent a letter to President Trump urging his Administration to reexamine New York’s congestion pricing scheme.
Congestion pricing is a disaster for New Jersey commuters and must receive the close look it deserves from the federal government.
