It's not just cutting traffic, it’s cleaning the air. A new Cornell study found that in the first six months of NYC's congestion pricing:
💨 Air pollution dropped by 22% in the core Manhattan zone.
🌳 The benefits spread to all five boroughs AND the suburbs!

I’d take heated sidewalks in exchange for a parking structure becoming a data center 🤷🏼♀️
Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

The kid & I took the bus Sat night to see a hockey game. (There isn’t a bus past 8pm on Saturdays-ask us how we know🤦🏼♀️)
It was ~10degrees out. The route got dicey as we got closer to the Sullivan arena. An off-ramp cuts off any path from the north. Over 5K at the game!

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Protesters stand and turn their backs to US Sen. Dan Sullivan during his address to the Alaska Federation of Natives conference.
Signs read: "Medicaid Matters" + "Public radio saves lives"
Sullivan does not acknowledge or stop speaking

Seattle permitted a car commercial shoot in the middle of Bicycle Weekends and an accessible cycling event
Photo from a reader. It's the Tom Flood meme come to life. "Bicycles deliver the freedom that auto ads promise." Sunday, a permitted commercial shoot for Rivian shut down a section of Lake Washington Boulevard during the penultimate Bicycle Weekends open streets event. It wasn't just any Bicycle Weekend day, though, it was also Bike & Scoot Sundays (PDF), an accessible cycling event in which SDOT, Lime and Bird partner with Outdoors for All to lend out adaptive cycles for free that people with a wide range of disabilities can ride along what was supposed to be a car-free Lake Washington Boulevard.
