When a CEO says “it’s probably better than a person,” but his lawyer defense includes “it’s basically just fancy cruise control” to say the deceased driver should have resumed control… one of them is lying. Either way, seems to me that Tesla is culpable washingtonpost.com/technology/int…

Staff Office of Transportation & Infrastructure Systems was very clear at the meeting that Option 2 would be safer. Especially in light of recent tragedy in the portion of Washington Ave that was watered down by Councilman KJ, I’m optimistic Councilmember Jamie Gauthier has the courage to make crashes on 48th/47th less likely.

Let’s go Speedboys!

Volunteer London planes are on their way to relocation!

The results are in: road diets reduce speeding by 25% and separated bike lanes reduce crashes by 18%. Office of Transportation & Infrastructure Systems Option 2 for 48th/47th includes both! Councilmember Jamie Gauthier let’s make it happen with safer streets!

It is all too easy for us as bystanders to despair in the violence, and get caught up in division and either dig in heels on one “side” or just get numb to it all. Another way: join together in fasting and prayer for peace, justice, and reconciliation. catholicnewsagency.com/news/255660/ca…

My two cents: Make improvemts with EVERY paving project. We’re not rich enough for the luxury to spend money on milling, paving, striping, and ADA curb cuts… and basically end up with the status quo roadway operation!

Tired: get rid of highway-style slip ramps in cities Wired: get rid of right-on-red Inspired: get rid of traffic signals (at all but highest volume intersections) h/t Jeff Speck

Can’t say if it has/will contribute to rent inflation, but can absolutely confirm projects(s) with 100s of units in our neighborhood have stalled due to interest rates for construction loans.

Bingo. The current system is NOT serious. Make safety improvements part of every Streets Department project/program, not just dedicated VisionZero initiatives by OTIS. Stop using “outreach” as a way to slowly kill projects. Take away the veto pens everybody has. Get to YES.
