People Powered Highways

We build community.

[People Powered Highways @PPH4ALL]

Look how easily and cheaply we could install safe infrastructure.

[Only In Boston @OnlyInBOS]

The City of Boston now has 100 miles of comfortable biking in the city.

[RANGE @RANGEMedia4all]

Someday, a rapid transit bus line of zero emission buses could stretch up Division St. from downtown Spokane all the way out to Mead. This is just one of the many dreams laid out in STA's ten-year strategic plan (& it's not too late to have a say): https://t.co/kgzveGdRb5

[Daniel Trubman @dmtrubman]

I know there's only so much enforcement can do to make our streets safer, but I'm convinced we could significantly reduce the number of folks killed and injured by drivers almost overnight by immediately impounding any vehicle with obscured license plates like this.

[Miles in Transit @milesintransit1]

Every 15 minutes has become the gold standard for "so frequent you don't need to check a schedule", but if that 15 minute bus runs 2 minutes early and you miss it, you're not gonna make the connection to that every-50-minute bus down the line.

"A total of $238 million of CCA funds are set to go to nearly every tribal nation in Washington, funding appliance rebates, clean energy infrastructure, clean transportation and ecosystem restoration."

We need to build a City with corner cafes AND street level preschools

[Swyft Cities🚡 @swyftcities]

Self-driving cars are not the answer.
@humantransit: "Cars are the most inefficient use of scarce space ever invented at scale. Further expansion may seem equitable, but it delivers only...misery as congestion strangles all movement, including public transit"

[Sam Balto @CoachBalto]

Traffic engineers should be required to lead a #BikeBus.

Awesome work via @lpangborn at @RANGEMedia4all !

[RANGE @RANGEMedia4all]

The “27 by 2027 Urban Mobility Network” would fortify a few of Spokane’s many existing neighborhood streets to make them comfortable for users of all ages and abilities to walk, ride a bike or use a mobility device.

How much overtime is in response to traffic collisions?

[RANGE @RANGEMedia4all]

Matt Boston, the CFO, is requesting the city allocate more money to pay for Spokane Fire Department's overtime - they've gone over budget.

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

Using parked cars and paint & post buffers for bike lanes can have an incredible impact on multimodal safety.

Deaths & injuries dropped dramatically on the former "Boulevard of Death" in NYC.

[People Powered Highways @PPH4ALL]

It's all in the land use.

[City of Spokane @SpokaneCity]

The City is embarking on a transformative journey to address the pressing challenges posed by climate change. Look out for upcoming workshops & events to speak with the Climate Planning Team, share information, & provide your thoughts on climate planning. https://t.co/aGccSFsNwz

the place on the left has an obesity rate of 17%

the place on the right has an obesity rate of 71%

we’re killing ourselves by design

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

In the past 55 years, the amount of children who walk to school has declined from 40.7% to 11%. Why? Because the built environment has transformed in ways that make walking to school unsafe and nearly impossible.

[Moses Kagan @moseskagan]

Walkable neighborhoods

[DKS @DNMNKB]

There's nothing economical or convenient about big box stores like Walmart, those are just the kind of stores you need when you create a car dependent environment. Many suburbanites believe they're getting a good deal at Walmart and Costco, they're wrong.
