I started keeping track to see how fast I can get to 40 states.

Thinking about the "flag stop" that clearly shows as being a valid stop but has no sign! bsky.app/profile/nikh...

Finally watched it and it is hands down one of the most thoughtfully crafted movies

My father-in-law works for CDOT. We were in a bike lane today and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer...

Selling a Kryptonite Heavy Duty New York U-Lock I've got. Asking $120, retails for ~$160. Comes with the mount for easy attachment to your bike

Remarkable that someone painted this

Babe what's wrong you haven't touched your *senate passed transit bill* in months

I wish I had a reason to be at the Damen Green Line more. If I had a 10m headway, I wouldn't mind it if the station looks like this. It's the best architectural station of the recent and at this point $80M/station is looking like a steal

These homes are a micro-density move but this is a tough couple of things to be landlocked by

Why would one give WB two stops and only give EB one stop (they should both be one each)?

Eight months ago I gave video footage that I obtained via FOIA to CPD of the guy who stole my bike. Today, in nearly the same area at the same time, I come back from the grocery store And someone has tried to steal my lock the exact same way.

Direct consequence of a lack of action by CPD.

Good luck taking the 30 to this part of the route in either direction if you want to do that

How is someone supposed to get here? Same question for all the SB stops on Avenue O
