Excellent response to @npr.org’s terrible coverage of traffic violence

Food delivery was a convenience, until it became a lifestyle. Now America is a nation of order-inners—and it’s destroying restaurants as we once knew them, @elcush.bsky.social argues: https://theatln.tc/SghPaI1R

One of the most common locations for fatal motor vehicle-bicyclist crashes is at intersections, which inherently have a large number of turning conflicts. Reducing these conflicts is a key objective in improving intersection safety across all modes.

Yesterday, Kansas City opened a $350M transit enhancement putting hundreds of thousands of Kansas Citians in walking distance to rail. We then broke ground on $350M in housing bringing 1100+ units of mixed income to the Eastside.
Cities get sh*t done.
Let’s keep it going, KC.

A driver, a cyclist, and a pedestrian show up at a party. They find a plate with 10 cookies.
The driver immediately grabs 9 cookies.
He then turns to the pedestrian and says, "You better watch out, that cyclist is going to steal your cookie!”
