Really happy to see this focus on profiling and fixing ReSharper latency! The lagginess of ReSharper and Rider made me uninstall them a few years back but I'll give 2025.2 a try when it comes out!

Heads up your link to the consultation on Moving Traffic Enforcement goes instead to the consultation on Parking Strategy.

I think folks may have voted to close the question as it seems to be a Chrome bug with encrypted AWS audio files that can't be solved in your code.

Might be worth a bug report to Chromium: www.chromium.org/for-testers/...

The land between Whitley St and Chadwick St has planning for resi/com - unsure if that means a station is already a lost cause there: www.placenorthwest.co.uk/sourced-secu... (joint venture between NR and Sourced)

Sourced might not be well atm though: www.placenorthwest.co.uk/310-flat-liv... (2/2)
Sourced secures unanimous consent for 500 Love Lane homes - Place North West
Liverpool City Council has granted planning permission to the developer for the £110m scheme, which comprises four separate residential blocks.

Absolutely. For what it's worth, Network Rail already owns suitably-sized parcels either side of the tracks around here, especially the land between Upper William St and Whitley St.

Adjacent to the Tobacco Warehouse would be great, but the tracks come almost right up to people's gardens. (1/2)

I'm surprised nothing's being planned to fill this gap in Vauxhall? Demand is going to grow a lot further in this part of Liverpool.

I think adding a new station by Love Lane, built to withstand match day footfalls and incorporate better safety (screen doors) would be a game changer here. (2/2)

There are two glaring coverage gaps on the Merseyrail Northern line near the city centre: Baltic Triangle and Vauxhall.

Baltic is getting sorted, but with all the ongoing and upcoming development north of the centre (Bramley Moore, Liverpool Waters, Pumpfields Regen, "New Town" plan, etc.), (1/2)

I went to their drop-in event in July and I'm really looking forward to using this station!

I do think they could be more ambitious with the roads around it though. The plans I saw keep all 5 car lanes each way and don't provide east-west cycle infra. That eastern exit could be a lot more inviting.

I used a floorplanner.com free account to design my living room and it was pretty good!

You can change the dimensions on most of their furniture objects so you can visualise real furniture a bit better.

It's got me wondering what I would name that Session class instead. Flow? Transfer? RequestResponse?! I'll be thinking about it for a while!
