That’s one-time, not annual right? Can I pay in installments? 🙂
But yeah I’m entirely onboard with the goal of slower cities.

True, I don’t think it’s a fundamental truth or anything. I’m working personally and professionally to justify narrower roads, less parking, and more transit. But it’s taking a while to get there and I think that some would otherwise choose a car for now, with worse externalities.

Definitely not an example of a place to go 28mph, but perhaps 10-15 is safe through here vs. walking pace when you couldn't see around the corner...

I'm torn on this one, would be an easier call if we had Europe's land use and infrastructure. Those things are slow to change, and I've found my Class 3 to be a useful band-aid for longer trips (much of VMT) and fast car traffic. I like to think I know when to slow down depending on context.

makes me more likely to shop there via ebike across the bridge!

I'm starting to see larger overhead bins roll out that can theoretically fit a roller bag for each person... if used per directions.

It's not in our buffered version (High Quality Transit Areas) though, I think since hq corridors aren't buffered from particular stops but I could add it there for major stops if helpful gis.data.ca.gov/datasets/863...?

Should be present for existing stops as stop_id?

I think it's unlikely, and could risk confusing folks if that combined map goes out of sync with the MPO maps. Our plan so far is to expand our current approach to include some useful attributes for SB 79, enabling MPOs and others to use our map to help compile theirs.

Overall looks good but sadly now missing Foothill Transit - looked and it doesn't seem like we've downloaded their GTFS since August. Flagged it to the relevant team, hopefully an easy fix. Otherwise I can patch in old data with our Oct update in 1wk
