This is just to trigger urbanists.
A Whole Foods in central Miami with five (six?) floors -- but instead of being topped with housing (the dream!), they're topped with 100% parking.
And they have grade-separated transit right in front 😭

Love the over garage in an ally housing type. I’d love to live in a house that fronts an alley. No traffic.

I love that Cleveland Metroparks is using these efficient Kei trucks on their trails. These have great visibility and are relatively lightweight so are also safer for any potential collisions with pedestrians and cyclists.

I was in Toronto last weekend with my family (it was refreshingly functional!).
One of my big takeaways is that cities with subways are just totally different animals than cities without. The foot traffic! 😍

This pink ford feista is when the automarket peaked in the US. Back when you could still buy an affordable, reasonable sized sedan and they made them in colors too

Occurs to me that this is a good indicator of a walkable, vibrant street corner. And also a civically engaged community.
Shot in Cleveland’s tremont neighborhood in front of a first wave coffee shop that’s a gathering place for construction workers and elders.

This is a really cool and special spot in Cleveland, unusual urban planning sorta coup.
This trail section (part of the 50+ mile Towpath Trail that goes from DT Cleveland south to Akron) used to a road. Houses here now front an active trail and some have converted their driveways to little patios

When Cleveland was really booming they used to sometimes put two houses on a lot. Here’s a weirder example

These bills all target repeat dangerous offenders. Like @transalt.org highlighted in this amazing report from last week, showing the top "Super Speeders" in NYC are all racking up hundreds of annual violations.
Next up: New York and California (and hopefully others)

In Cleveland, builders used to name their buildings, I assume after women they loved. (Almost always women’s names)
Gets me thinking about the legacy ordinary people leave in their communities, even after they’re gone.
