Should the road be wider?

(No)
Watching the World Series and almost cried for joy when we say an ad for E-Bikes on national television ❤️🚲
This Halloween, the real monsters are those who make our communities worse and/or stop them from getting better.

Whether they are NIMBYs from across the political spectrum, traffic engineers, or car brains, there’s a costume for everyone this spooky season!
Sigh…Do you know how many planners WISH they could just fire and replace every oversight and review group that is blocking their projects?

But we can’t. Because that’s how checks and balances work. A rubber stamp isn’t how you keep leaders accountable 😡
Like, we hate the questionably legal misappropriation of funds but…we do need more nuclear power plants if we are gonna reach net zero emissions…

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."
The Dallas Silver Line is a great addition to the region’s transit, though it could stand to improve its frequency and land use around some stations. Regardless, we need more suburb to suburb transit like this to give people truly regional transit options!
Loving the new seating they added at 30th Street Station!
You shouldn’t need a car to enjoy the football game!

A well planned stadium incorporates transit, biking, and walking as viable means of transportation to go watch your team beat their rivals!

The opening of the Kansas City Streetcar Main Street extension, complete with dedicated lanes, shows that when we make good investments in our transit systems, we can have amazing results!
Seems like a skill issue to us 😎

People act like errands are impossible without a car. We find this mindset reflects a lack of imagination and access to adequate public transit.
Dear people watching Tik Tok / Reels on the train without headphones,

We will BUY YOU A PAIR! 🎧
This inspired our own post lol
Long term, no parking minimums should be utilized for any mode of transportation. In the immediate term though, using the tools which were utilized to induce ubiquitous car use for other modes isn’t a bad strategy.
