Extreme acceleration makes looking both ways before you cross insufficent. Electric cars can literally come out of nowhere right now.

Really like the mention of a Culdesac like development over there. It’s actually crazy how good this location could be for something like that, I just hope others can see that as well.

Currently in Chicago and I just can’t get over the way they’ve catered to the car. This underground roadway business is insane, for example.

The amount of managed dissatisfaction we deal with is nuts.

All these flowline issues on curb cut projects drive me pretty nuts. It’s just the standard and not the exception to see ponding. I gotta think it’s lousy contractor work and a non-existent post construction inspection. Both budget driven I suppose.

I rode this earlier, didn’t catch why there was a jog there though. Utilities of some sort? Seems unnecessary.

I’m pretty sure the 5.5 is for when you accidentally use a 4.5 on a 5mm bolt, strip it, and have to hammer it on to extract. They’re a package deal of destruction.

There’s a decent chance this is an inlet clog, but also I’ve seen some things in this city both from design and construction quality that let’s me know that anything is possible.

I’m not saying residents should just blindly let path development expand onto their property, but I am saying that the Monon is such an insane public good that I’d let it go through my living room if it needed to.

The cost and funding of enforcement probably isn’t talked about enough. Just another component of the auto that doesn’t scale well.

Requiring so much land to build such an efficient land use type feels like an oxymoron to me. Zoning codes are just awful, mostly.

This is rad, didn’t realize the tow path has such a history of cycling.

What kills me is that they say improved safety is somehow a part of this lane addition.

I think trikes are a sneaky good option. I got my wife one because her balance isn’t great and of course I tried it out and had to get one myself. A bit bulkier and there’s the tip factor, but man, they are really fun and easy to ride.

This development caught my eye big time when we were figuring out our move to the Indy area. A bike path outside my front door?? Didn’t end up in Carmel but this design is pretty darn cool.

Made a V1.1 with a bit more drama on the NE end. More costly but showcases the idea of ending that 6 way better perhaps.

Do this accordingly throughout and 6 way intersections become 4 way, just as god intended.
