Slip lanes might not be a huge amount of space, but giving that space back to people can have a huge impact. Thanks to @StreetsblogUSA for gathering some great examples that showcase creativity and safety https://t.co/KIA6SSNa6i

But maybe some roads shouldn’t be 40 mph.
And maybe other roads weren’t designed to be for low speeds, so people speed. #designsafe https://t.co/04zt29wuJT

For states that are serious about reducing their carbon pollution, the greatest potential (and obstacle) is in changing land use and transportation. And the time for action was yesterday. https://t.co/akGs8Fm3sB

What we tend to forget about highways is that they have to dump out all those cars somewhere. When we build more regional/highways, they act as a funnel, just jamming more cars into already congested cities. Transit, on the other hand, just dumps out people, who easily disperse.

We’re at the cusp of transforming the way we move people in San Antonio. The design and decision will ultimately be up to you, the voter. After several years, I’m excited that we’re finally thinking seriously about transportation. https://t.co/VQTJYk4WXV
