Community advocates from all over Utah pouring their hearts and souls into fighting the Inland Port. THE INLAND PORT IS NOT A DONE DEAL!

Big action yesterday for the Utah Inland Port Authority. UIPA Board and Salt Lake City Council vote same day to approve Authorizing the SLC Mayor to execute the Interlocal Agreement between the City, the Redevelopment Agency, and the Utah Inland Port Authority. #utpol #utleg

Project 2025: “…called for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the nation’s oceans, weather, climate and fisheries science agency, to be “dismantled…National Weather Service…much of its climate research “disbanded”.” https://t.co/GJggckC5ah

The boomers are going down as the generation that destroyed our planet. Let’s hope they can change course on this one.

@NateForUtah The Grand Canyon Trust is al-Qaida? Ba-ha-ha-ha.

Whether we have the space to move more & more people as cities grow, plus room for all the OTHER important things that make streets & cities great, depends ENTIRELY on HOW we choose to move. And how design makes better choices easier or harder. HT @NACTO

Really @slcmoves ? We’ve talked about this. 200 S 500 W.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

If your transportation agency or politicians are actually still trying to claim that widening highways will reduce greenhouse gas emissions (it definitely won’t), or even reduce traffic congestion (it definitely won’t), they’re not just part of the problem — they ARE the problem.

We keep wasting time, effort and money on the wrong things. We don’t need “new technologies,” we need safe street designs.

@slcmayor’s Administration is nearly 7 months late on releasing its Vision Zero action plan #slc

Can we please have some traffic calming at the intersection of Highland Drive and 2100 S? @slcmoves It’s unclear from the website if we will get this. Maybe some raised crosswalks? No right turn on red?

A surprising number of engineers (and planners) still think like this.

@GovCox @USUAggies Kinda ironic the Aggies destroying awesome potential agricultural land for concrete and pavement.

Nearly a full house today at the Provo Farmers Market! Love seeing people use a bike instead of driving.

LOUDER FOR THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERS IN THE BACK!

Abravanel Hall has gotten a lot of attention the past few weeks. It’s also the scene of a new temporary art project featuring upcycled pianos that people can come and play whenever. They’re about to be unveiled

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

Sound efficient?
