this 91 year-old San Francisco driver wants pedestrians, bicycles, public transportation, AVs, and any paint that is not white or yellow off of his San Francisco streets. Letters: S.F. streets are for drivers and cars. Why everyone else needs to get out of the way

@luis_in_brief @kingrat @eniatitova I think the city should put all the tax receipts they receive into one account and then hold daily public meetings all year around so we can all tell them where we want our tax dollars spent.

@lmc @kingrat @eniatitova I'd actually be much more in favor of randomly-selected "juries" of San Franciscans getting paid to do that job than the current charade of "public comment" by those with enough time on their hands, mostly the retired wealthy.

Something ran over two solid steel bollards on the Trolley Line Trail.

Hard to be sure what did this. Can't rule out the possibility it was a scofflaw cyclist.

@wesley that's not how bollards are supposed to work. Definitely doesn't look solid or concrete-filled, those would not have bent.

lol. Shelter wouldn't let us take home fosters (in a hard shell carrier) in the #CargoBike because "it's too dangerous". I even deflated the tires a bit for this, for a smoother ride.

So many #CarBrains in #NYC, I'm so fucking tired of it. #BanCars

[for background, every cat I've ever dealt with has been terrified in a car. They hate the speed, and the loud engine/vibrations. It's one of the reasons I started transporting my former cats by bike.]

View of the inside of the box. There's a bag of cat food, a white fuzzy cat bed, a blanket underneath, and room for a cat carrier on top of the cat bed.

Anniversary blog post from May 15, 2009: the failure of Roosevelt Island's Motorgate shows that we can't just from cities.

They tried here, but the project wound up under people who didn't share the vision: George Pataki and the developers of the Octagon and Cornell Tech.

When I visited in January, it felt like any other tower-in-a-park run by people who think they're too important to get out of their cars.

Eternal vigilance is the price of car-freedom.

The sun sets behind the East Loop Road near the Cornell Hills on Roosevelt Island. One side of the street is lined with parked cars.

Likely unpopular opinion but I think AT getting rid of free street parking in the CBD is a good call.

Free parking encourages car dependency, wastes precious urban space and discourages alternative modes of transportation.

Here's Donald Shoup, author of "The High Cost of Free Parking", the expert on parking economics why too much of it ruins our cities:

Along with the police violence (look at the sheer number of bullets sprayed into that dormitory!), racism, SCOTUS nonsense, and the general lack of historical coverage (people know about Kent State, but not this) - there's a / angle here too.

50 years later, things truly have not changed much.

Aujourd'hui, le dans le bus est une dame au téléphone qui est interrogée par une personne d'un service RH pour travailler dans la logistique.
À la question : "Vous êtes véhiculé ? Vous avez une voiture?", la dame a répondu : "Non".

Aux élus : faîtes des aménagements cyclables sécurisés, mettez le paquet sur les transports en commun, sortez nous de ce système où l'accès à la voiture est un critère d'embauche.

@cyclyon aux RH d'arrêter de poser cette question aussi. Pas besoin d'une voiture pour pas mal de poste.
Et aux entreprises de sortir des zones industrielles pour faire du tertiaire...

@bikingAround
On est bien d'accord, sauf que quand on pense logistique (ici préparation de commande de ce que j'ai compris), on pense zone industrielle et horaires de nuit / décalées.
Bref, on est bien d'accord.

Instagram served up an ad for me of a construction company in San Francisco advertising themself blocking the bike lane with their truck. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

is only a challenge when it's against a backdrop of

Here comes Byron's DGAF, stinking his way past two schools and over a hill to avoid some traffic signals on the way to make a U-turn and then fill a yard with fumes on the other side of the neighborhood. Shovels sticking out behind the foldaway mirror probably won't fold the same. Might need a to look at what traffic this Local Service Traffic Street is carrying.

I don’t think I would be comfortable letting my kids bike there. Wow! Looks intense

If you are the sort who needs trips to have a reason, try a quick ride around to take pictures of the city's mud collections and report them as storm drains in need of cleaning (if it's not a storm drain it's a drainage problem that needs a storm drain, but you can look back years in google streetview.) Turn on your camera's GPS or get good reference points in the pic. Some cities have an app or 311, Public Works, just email it to the mayor if it's not obvious how to notify who
