I’m just here for bikes and zoning reform.
We need to focus on reducing speeds, not just speeding. We have too many roads posted at 30mph+.

B/c one more lane will fix traffic, right?
While this is bad, most federal $ has always gone to highways. We prob need to localize funding. This is also hard bc states control revenue raising. How do we get local control of local $$$?

ACTION ALERT 🚨 Rep. Sam Graves, Chairman of the T&I Committee drafting the next transportation bill, recently shared an alarming insight: “It's gonna be a traditional highway bill... We’re not gonna be spending money on murals and train stations or bike paths or walking paths.”

Day 3 of #WeekWithoutDriving! This pretty normal day for me, would be nearly impossible for many Americans because of how we build our communities. For others driving isn’t an option no matter how poor the conditions. We can do better!

It’s comparatively easy for a car driver to make up time lost after a signal. Not so much for people walking and biking. Make signals shorter or get rid of them.
Based on a few days of walking #Providence (and watching behavior), I think the city could do with fewer.

Slender streets can save many lives. To get them, buy better fire engines…

There are 10 traffic deaths for every fire death. Have a policy that whenever your city replaces a fire response vehicle, buy one that can navigate smaller streets. ~ @siegman.biz #cnu33

I guess they ran out of “Sidewalk Closed” signs. 😆. Hopefully they pour it quick so we can get back to LOS! #walk #pedestrian

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”

Do car-free zones hurt disabled people? We asked experts.
City planners and advocates are seeing "accessibility used as a political football."

This highlights the need for #ZoningReform, multi-gen neighborhoods, and probably also some #KonMari. When we limit density and prohibit du/tri/multiplexes/ADUs, the market maximizes profits with bigger housing instead housing for more families.

A Shortage Of Housing And A Glut Of Bedrooms
We complain constantly about a lack of affordable housing. But there are 137 million spare bedrooms in the United States. We should make at least a few of them available for their intended purpose.

A pro-community culture is as least important as better regulations. How do we restore a culture that says yes to neighbors, yes to proximity, yes to child-friendly spaces, yes to diversity of options, yes to long-term benefits?

Damn right
When you have young kids, your urbanist critical eye gets cranked to 11.
No curb ramp? Infrequent, unreliable bus service? Sidewalks covered in debris? Not enough street lighting at night? Stupid, dumb, little red flags so you can beg to cross the street? All of it becomes intolerable.
