Thank you to the thousands of volunteers and supporters in North Carolina who made this victory possible. This shows that the @DNC’s challenges are frivolous and we will defeat them all. 🙏🇺🇸

@CLT_Urbanists Elizabeth is missing. And midtown has the density, but not the infrastructure. Those roads are terrifying to walk along/ across. CDOT has to do more before that area grows even more.

Ring in the new year responsibly with FREE rides! The Free Rides program will be providing fare-free rides from 5 a.m., Dec. 31 to 2 a.m., Jan. 1 across the CLT transit network! #CelebrateResponsibly and leave the driving to us! #VisionZero #RideCATS #CharlotteNC #JoinCATS

Charlotte Developers have finally figured it out. Intersection welcomes cars, pedestrians, and cyclists while keeping everyone safe. Bike lane is protected and cars are forced to slow down with neckdowns. I hope more intersections will start to look like this.

[Kevin Sisler @kev_sisler]

I love this.

[Axios Charlotte @axioscharlotte]

A strategy for Charlotte's West End that's been in the works for years proposes tearing down acres of highway infrastructure that divided the historically Black neighborhoods from Uptown.

Never thought I would be retweeting this guy. But this is very well said.

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

We’re back.

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

Not to mention that a used bike is roughly the cost of a parking pass at Elon, bike parking is closer to where people need to go, and biking is often faster. Now let’s just make it safer!

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

I loved seeing Elon’s new bike lane connecting the Francis Center to Danieley Neighborhood while on my run this weekend. I would love to see them on Haggard, O’Kelly, and Williamson next as they are all plenty wide for them. I hope the Town of Elon can follow suit!

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

A college campus should prioritize pedestrians and cyclists. No one should feel the need to drive a car across campus. Maybe people would stop complaining about parking on campus if they felt safe riding a bike instead 🤔

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

Which is your favorite?

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

As much as I love the music in Kahoot, I don’t like how it rewards the fastest answers (especially for ESL students) and that I cannot assess all students easily. What quiz platforms do teachers like more? #eloned

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

@jennamm8 That’s great! Gives every student an opportunity to feel acknowledged by their peers.

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

@schledorn @scomorrison I love it! So much variety in games as well. I’m going to start testing it out. Thanks!

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

Which are the better devices to have for 1:1 students to technology programs in school? #ElonEd

[Turrentine Middle @TMSTrojans]

🥇🏆🏀💚🤍

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

Never hurts to review old concepts! We did the fire snake experiment today, which explored chemical changes again. I was amazed at how much students could recall. So much fun too!

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

The best part was the amount of students that came in today asking if we were going outside again.

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

I challenged students to think of what animal could live there, what biome it was a part of, what the shelter provided the animal, and where that animal falls in the food chain.

[Timmy Gies @GiesTimmy]

Yesterday we went outside to build “homes” for various animals. Concluded our unit on ecosystems, got kids outside on the beautiful day, allowed them to express creativity related to curriculum, and allowed students to move after a morning of NC state tests #ElonEd
