The law, in its majestic equality, forbids all men to sleep under bridges, in SROs, or on lots smaller than 10,000 sqft — the rich and poor alike.
Need a lot of parking if you only run hourly buses I guess

Really odd for a city to have a land value tax and bus also disinvest in transit so much that the highest frequency bus routes have hour headways.

I’m not talking about 28mph e-bikes, but a path like the Schuylkill river trail or Burlington’s waterfront bike path, you probably average 8 mph on a bike avoiding pedestrians. Averaging even 15 with dedicated ROW would be huge benefit to cycling mode share

It’s just hard to wrap my head around how someone who holds these convictions so deeply, who’s personally traveled to melting ice sheets, can spend their time making it harder for other people to live in a less carbon intensive way, because they don’t want more neighbors.

Curious if ramps at the end would be sufficient or if you’d want to add some at noble or spring garden as well. I guess you’re starting to increase costs at that point but you’re also making it more accessible.

Could see it having pretty substantial delivery bike usage as well, though not sure park advocates would be happy about that.

Do you think it would be valuable to have a bikeway on a portion of the viaduct? It’s ~70 ft wide most of the way, and could provide grade separated access to center city from a quickly growing neighborhood.

My puke stains are probably still on the escalator of the xi’an metro escalator from a bout of food poisoning.

Having been to a bunch of cities in China, can assure you this isn’t true

It’s still wild to me that McDonald’s chicken is amazing everywhere outside the US because they don’t use white meat.
