@EliMcCann @Beth_Way14 Not weird, but it does feel like the packaging is trolling you by saying, "Specifically for children," as if the "for kids" above wasn't enough.

@MustelidMay I see lots of guesses for Border Collie x Australian Shepherd, but I want to put in a guess for Border Collie x Australian Cattle Dog. You mention her having a blocky head, which cattle dogs have, and I see a few freckles on her legs- my cattle dog mix has a lot of freckles!

This is so cool!

Today I'm launching Close, an interactive map that shows walkable, bikeable, and transit-friendly neighborhoods across every block in the United States. Try it out: https://t.co/wFy8wqCPjU

@blackforager Offering to help pay is great! We hesitated at the cost of taking out our giant Tree of Heaven, & then limbs came down in wind storms, damaging TWO neighbors' properties. 😭 Costly & had to pull baby shoots for a couple years after it was chopped down & poisoned, but worth it!

@AleRigolon @slcmoves I go with the snowy/icy neighborhood roads but it is a slog. Still faster than my closest bus, though. Very lucky to be able to take the 9-line today, which was mostly plowed (except for random segments), just icy, especially at intersections.

@SaltLakeTom @buildingslc How would this work? Genuinely curious, not being an ass. Would it go over I-15, too? Because that would be really high. But there doesn't seem to be enough clearance between the trains and I-15 when leaving Poplar Grove to go under I-15 and over the train.

@Chicagio @foxyjewishmama Can confirm the incredible warranty. My dog chewed up my eyecups & strap; I thought it was going to be a pain to get replacements. Not only was it easy, they surprised me in the shipment w/ a really nice toy for my dog! If Vortex is too much, I've had a great experience w/ Tasco.

Are there any plans to add bollards to our separated bike paths? Yesterday I had to stop for cars driving on the 9-line twice, seemingly using it as a space to turn around, accessing it from driveways. Pretty unsettling seeing headlights coming straight at you. @slcmoves

@AleRigolon It was so beautiful from the River Trail!

[Anne Terry @ZooTeacherAnne]

I was dismayed on my way home today when, at the 800 S crossing, a cyclist coming the other way went on the wrong side of the street to cross the tracks immediately after the UP train went by and before the crossing arms had even started to move. Luckily no Frontrunner this time.

A year after safety upgrades were planned, a Salt Lake City railroad crossing where a cyclist was fatally struck last week remains unchanged.

@KUTV2News @darbysparks Thank you for covering this!

[Anne Terry @ZooTeacherAnne]

I don't love the design of the survey, but we need all the voices we can get supporting infrastructure that allows safe active transportation coupled with public transit. Focus on moving people, not cars, and we can create public gathering spaces that foster community connections

[Salt Lake City Economic Development @slcecondev]

In phase 1 of the Main Street survey, Salt Lakers sought enhanced green spaces, dining, events, versatile areas, public art, and a community market. The study team incorporated this feedback into 4 design concepts, now seeking feedback in phase 2 at https://t.co/zRKbwSuVuY!

@RideUTA I'm on a Red Line train to Daybreak, 1109B, and the handicap entrance is not opening. Not sure if the conductor is aware. We just left someone using a wheelchair at Trolley because they couldn't get on.

[Anne Terry @ZooTeacherAnne]

@bikelakecity @notkyleirvin @slcmoves I like the chicane, but also saw a guy on a motorcycle using the chicane like an obstacle course, racing through for fun. Not sure how often that was happening, but I imagine speed humps would cut down traffic while also not being particularly attractive as a pretend race course.

[Anne Terry @ZooTeacherAnne]

@SLCOParksandRec Oh I have, and I will!

[Anne Terry @ZooTeacherAnne]

I'm sad I'll have to miss this! But I'll be teaching a class at Galena Soonkahni, so at least I'll be spending time with the River. ❤️ Specifically, we're learning about people's first connections to Pia Okwai.

Join us this Thursday for the Ribbon Vutting of Parley’s Trail! Inaugural ride will depart from the north lot at Fairmont Park, 9:30 am, 9/28. Ride to the new section and ribbon cutting at Jordan River Redwood Trailhead Park! #peopleparksplay #slco #bike #pedal #parleystrail

[Anne Terry @ZooTeacherAnne]

Filling out the form was cathartic! Glad this is getting more attention. I love living in Poplar Grove, and it would be even better without our Union Pacific overlords dictating how we can move around for chunks of the day.

[Salt Lake City Council @slcCouncil]

Have you ever been stuck at a train crossing? 🚃
It’s a real challenge for our Westside neighbors and visitors.
Imagine all the better things you could be doing before those delays.

That’s what Council Member Alejandro Puy did in a photo campaign to shed light on the issue. Now it’s your turn! Visit: https://t.co/tOBPFltYV9 to share your train delay stories and learn more about the issue, and what the City is doing about it.

@wanderingdave Yeah, it's getting bad. I always end up needing to focus on keeping my dog calm, so rarely get to say anything to the owners. A dog rushed up to us the other day, very rude & in my dog's face, and the owner didn't even give one "sorry," just a half-hearted attempt to call it.

[Anne Terry @ZooTeacherAnne]

@MattGraySLC @slcmoves Seems to me they finally got it done because the Bike to Work with the Mayor event goes through here this year. I'll take it.
