When Hidalgo steps down next year, she'll have left an inspiring legacy: 350 km of protected bike lanes, 130,000 bike parking spaces, 300 school streets, 145,000 trees, 45 km of parks, and 140,000 fewer car parking spaces. Largely thanks to a light, quick, cheap experiment started 20 years earlier.🔚

And the Drumeo videos too, getting musicians to jam along to a song they've never heard of! So good and creative and fun to watch their process!

Not a musician but OMG it seems so fun! I've been semi-addicted to the YouTube shorts Pomplamoose has been doing of their sessions!

You’re sure this isn’t TOO jazzy?…

It's so pleasantly quiet too (aside from when motor vehicles are going by).

And at an intersection, this continuous sidewalk and bike path that cars have to cross is straight out of my dreams!

I love how the noisiest parts of the video are occasional wind noise, or whenever a bus or car goes by on the adjacent street.

Cities aren't inherently loud. Cars are loud.

...after spinning, the car accelerated across 4 lanes and slammed harder into the right wall.

So I'm curious about what engineering solutions are fielded to prevent post-crash accelerations (as well as reducing risk of engine fire, like plugging off fuel sources from the engine).

Just saw a really rough car crash video (appears to be non-critical injuries thankfully) where a driver on a highway lost control, crashed into the left wall hard (sparks, lost bumper, presumably air bags would have deployed at that point).
Then...

Chicago Marathon in October had tons of snow plows parked near intersections at so many locations around the course, protecting individuals cheering, as well as the runners.
