@PhilipThalis @Debb_Richards They could have done green tracks though like Parramatta - would have reduced heat island impact

@DarrenDavis10 Do you happen to have the “P70 editorial”?

[David Uhlmann @DavidUhlmann]

@englandcricket Hasn't learnt to stay in his crease though 😉

Street re-design It's really not that radical - just a change in priorities!

[Urban Cycling Institute 🚲  @fietsprofessor]

'Redesigning our streets is a logical answer to stubborn societal problems such as poor physical and mental health, road safety, traffic and even loneliness.'

@nickbarnesaus Can’t really blame them given the level of disgusting personal abuse directed at John Farnham on his Facebook page and this platform - that’s the voice of the “no” movement

@jswatz @LFFriedman Wrong tag @jswatz - I am in Australia. I don’t think my namesake in the EPA is on Twitter/X. I would gladly take the salary though!

@abcsport Well well well England! - if that was the oldest ball in the box that was sent out, whoever sent out that box is clearly #cheating #Ashes2023

[David Uhlmann @DavidUhlmann]

@jim_crawfurd @mottaloo @FredBoycott Even school cricketers are told not to leave their crease until tge umpire calls "over". He only has himself to blame

Cars are not an efficient mode of transport - particularly privately owned ones

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.

Sound efficient?

HT @circulareconomy

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

It's not about whether you personally want to or need to drive. It’s about understanding the simple truth that in cities, if everyone tries to move by car, no one moves much at all. So the more of us that are enticed to walk, bike & take transit, the better it is for EVERYONE.

[David Uhlmann @DavidUhlmann]

If anyone thinks replacing the entire private car fleet with electric cars is the answer, this thread clearly explains why it isn’t!

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

THREAD: I’m going to try this thread to clearly state my perspective on electric vehicles, car dependency and better cities, to those who frequently ask me, including media, elected leaders and many others. Here goes. Please share if you think it helps. 🧵#EVS

@MichaelLennon23 @RobbieSlater17 That’s the point - there should be an advantage to the team that finishes higher and earns the right to home support

[David Uhlmann @DavidUhlmann]

@MichaelLennon23 @RobbieSlater17 This was a major advantage Aleagues had over AFL & NRL - a genuine merit-based grand final host. Anything less distorts the integrity of the competition. It is unfair that a lower-ranked team based in Sydney gets home advantage vs a higher ranked interstate team.

More evidence that removing parking is good for business!

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

"As reported by The Globe and Mail, residents spent a total of $181 million at curbside patios within 13 weeks of summer in 2021. If those spaces had remained dedicated to parking, only $3.7 million would have been reaped during the same time period."

@hellenomania @9NewsMelb @7NewsMelbourne @10NewsFirstMelb 2020 = covid lockdowns = work from home = less people in CBD. Nothing to do with bike lanes

[David Uhlmann @DavidUhlmann]

@BrentToderian It’s not surprising though - he’s playing to the same voyeuristic human nature that makes people stare at car crashes. What’s not normal is that you crash your own car for the attention!

[David Uhlmann @DavidUhlmann]

@mattjcan Your anti net-zero / pro-coal rants cost LNP 20 plus
city seats and government. It’s easy to throw stones from a safe senate seat hey @mattjcan? If you had any conscience you would resign

[David Uhlmann @DavidUhlmann]

@AntonyGreenElec How does it feel @mattjcan to have almost single-handedly cost the LNP the election with your anti-net zero, pro-coal rhetoric? Sure you saved your own skin but at what cost? Clearly National party dinosaurs cost LNP the election - time to #demerge and #dissolvethecoalition

[David Uhlmann @DavidUhlmann]

Laneways are back - And not a parked car in sight!

[Nick Reece @Nicholas_Reece]

The buzz is coming back Melbourne. Get amongst it!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@walksydney1 If you want to own a boat or a van you should have somewhere to store it on your own land - or pay for a storage facility
