What's frustrating about freeways is that there is almost no empirical correlation explaining why they exist where they do.

Vancouver is a city of 750,000 people with no highways, while Hartford has a population of 120,000 and its entire downtown is full of them.

@redsteeze @pynkchola There was always this running joke in SEC Football circles that the NCAA was so mad at Alabama, they put someone else (some lesser program) on probation with a bowl/postseason ban.

@aarmlovi Most cities would benefit by making their downtowns more like Center City Philly, even if in a smaller version, and making any neighborhood built before WW2 like the northeastern or Midwestern streetcar suburbs. If not rail, they could run a dedicated BRT loop in the urban core.

Your local planning department doesn't need "capacity". They need Ctrl-F+Delete and a paper shredder.

All the best neighborhoods were built before zoning--before the regulatory tools of postwar planning to microregulate the private realm & mandate car use were constitutional

[Daniel Ashworth, Jr. @DAAJr904]

We seem bent on doing everything but the tried and true methods of building and getting around. Often, the answers lie in pre-WW2 urbanism and transportation rather than jumping on the next new technological craze that will be out of date in 5 years.

Florida's transportation secretary has been working to convince lawmakers and business leaders that the futuristic vision of flying cars from "The Jetsons" could soon become reality, and the state is now putting money behind that effort. https://t.co/rIxKsLSLR0

Reminder to all those who just watched the launch … the life rafts protecting the crew aboard Artemis II were manufactured right here in Jax at Patten Company, a subsidiary of Aerospace & Defense firm Wing Group.

Go to them. Clubs, churches, lodges, etc. This stuff all still exists. It's a bunch of old people who will be thrilled you showed up. Bring a friend if you're nervous. You guys have to stop intellectualizing the "loneliness crisis" and go end it by the way you live your life.

@AGGancarski @JAXTDY It would be great to have board members who actually understand transit. It should be a requirement that all board members and PMs up to C-Suite at JTA read Jarrett Walker's book "Human Transit". Heck, just watching this video would be a great start:

@nikitabier Just make the timeline show only the accounts I follow, or at least make the "For You" tab be for that.

@nanshisweets The posts appear translated to us here in the U.S. As far as Thanksgiving in the southern U.S. we prefer sweet potato pie.

Fernandina has the dual problem of downtown streets maintenance/beatification with little budget and the issues of employees taking street spaces and a corresponding lack of parking turnover through the day, and this was intended to fix both.

[Daniel Ashworth, Jr. @DAAJr904]

@Parking_Reform @twjpdx23 here's one for your radar, Fernandina Beach, FL instituted paid parking on some of their downtown streets and the locals have been acting like veritable children about it, including trying to recall Commissioners: https://t.co/a7qaInpk6V

@mnolangray Not much natural about the setting around that Knoxville Arby's, the woods are taken over by invasive kudzu.
