This is fantastic! Anyone here have some resources?

Eric@churchill.bsky.social

@urbanism.plus I’m proud to be part of a municipal housing taskforce that recommended its city acquire a $10M housing bond which passed last week. Still a lot of work ahead of us. Would love to hear if anybody has any resources that could help put these dollars to their best & highest possible use.

I had the joy of experiencing my first school #bikebus today, to take my godson on Budlong’s inaugural ride! #bikechi Favorite kid quotes: “It’s like a school bus but with bike wheels” “This is the best way to get to school” “I could do this everyday”

I wrote a longform post on some of my thoughts, pictures, videos and experiences with Chinese urbanism. But Noah Smith consistently misses the mark on what living in urban China is actually like as well as the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese cities. Link in next post.

Our non-existent pedestrian infrastructure along arterials is inexcusable. Concrete barriers should be a legally required bare minimum effort (at Access NS, Bayer's Lake, 311'd numerous times)

opposition to bus lanes from people who have more cars than can fit in their driveway and live a resulting life of carbrain-inflicted misery are the equivalent of people who take more than their share of food at a function and start complaining that they have a stomach ache

Probably not much of an issue on unsealed trails. Their inherent instability will likely make them less enjoyable on a longer journey such as along a rail trail. However there will be some who choose to use them. Sorry the article is behind a paywall. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

okay yeah walking around seattle.... actual bike lanes not filled with glass. sidewalks that are wide and not 80% broken. bus only lanes. actual shade. amazing. who knew this was possible!???

i'm not well-travelled so i don't know if LA, especially DTLA, is uniquely bad about this but i am continually astounded by how dirty the city is. can we get a guy with a pressure washer like twice a year at least? paint newer than 15-20 years? i'm not even asking for the sidewalks to be fixed!!!

Our little bike bus is a toddler! And after our ride I ended up joining a baby sibling bike bus riding to a nearby French school too! Many happy kids and parents 😎

Another day another bike bus. Happy two-year anniversary, Devonshire bike bus! #BikeBus #OttBike

Good morning! I am in an office tower in midtown Atlanta where the marta board and senior leadership is having a "retreat". They will be discussing the draft operating and capital budgets for the first time, and also receive briefings on federal grants. Follow me and @thexylom.com for more updates:

I just want people to have affordable and accessible housing close to employment and educational opportunities with pleasant and convenient active and public transportation options. Is that too much to ask?
