Listening to @biketalk.bsky.social today, I learned about the L.A. Metro program to reduce car trips called the One Car Challenge. Families receive $120/week for 5 weeks if they can leave the car at home and walk, roll or ride public transit. Lets bring this to Tigard! www.metro.net/about/media-...

The discussion about Park Ave and the better 3rd option (More Trees, fewer cars) starts at 30 minutes into this. It's a great discussion, one of the best I've ever heard in the urbanist or bike space. Highly encourage everyone to give it a listen. This is such an important fight right now
Great talk with Gersh Kuntzman of Streetsblog, NYC @nyc.streetsblog.org and miser @misernyc.bsky.social, the heroic micromobility activist, about a better option for NYC’s Park Avenue. Also, Kendra Ramsey @calbike.bsky.social and our lawyer. biketalk.org/2026/05/26-1...
