Working to bring more tech and Real Housewife franchises into cities. Team member of City Tech Collaborative. My opinions are my own...or Andy Cohen's.

I know my answer. What's yours? 🤔

By what year do you think the majority of shared rides will be #Autonomous?

I've found myself rambling about freight (mostly issues re:congestion) to strangers at bars more and more frequently. This article is slightly more effective and has primed me for Thanksgiving table talk. https://t.co/u4GwFaEOnz

👏👏👏 @T4America's new stance on transportation funding: "What the program should be about is accountability to the American taxpayer—making a few clear, concrete, measurable promises and then delivering on them"

Funday Mondays are very rare. This was a good one :)

The #Thunderbots are visiting from Iowa! Just like City Tech, they define a real-world problem and create a solution...except the Thunderbots make theirs out of LEGOS!

What's the coolest thing you've ever built with Legos?

Street typologies need to safely support all the modes a city offers - if scooters stay in Chicago, I hope to see a plan to make our roads better accommodate them.

[Mass Transit magazine @MassTransitmag]

The city of Atlanta is proposing a two-year, $5-million plan to incorporate enhanced safety designs to the streets which will improve safety for pedestrians, drivers, transit riders, bike riders and e-scooter riders. https://t.co/KwYNjMkVFs

Our one and only David Leopold (far right) joined @ITS_America at the Executive Session on Urban Mobility on how cities have paved the way to innovation. City Tech was highlighted as a national model for cross-sector solution development in this rapidly changing industry 🚗

[City Tech Collaborative @CityTech_]

Great article from @RollingStone that outlines all the reasons City Tech is tackling #HeatWaves and #UrbanHeatIslands in our latest project! Glad to have @MSFTChicago @Esri @ChicagoDPD @ChicagoDoIT @NASA and d3i Systems on the team 👍

@CityTech_ 's Chicago Health Atlas (https://t.co/40iavr919D) now includes air quality data & that's a BIG deal. Air quality is not only a health indicator, but an equity indicator. @CityLab explained this back in May.
