I’m at the Ted event in Detroit at Chroma! Let’s talk transit!

[Nick Calcaterra @bikepractically]

All in all, improvements are being made. Nonetheless, cars are still choking this delightful college town. @cityofmhk could, with minimal effort, be a really good American city for walking and bicycling.

Some cool things and not so cool things on my visit to Manhattan, Kansas. The city where Kansas State University is located is making some urbanism waves, but has a long way to go. 🪡

This traffic calming just outside of Aggieville is great! This one looks older. I’d really love to see more of these pop up in Manhattan KS neighborhoods to keep bicyclists and pedestrians safe!

Banning “natural” gas stoves is a big step and New Yorkers should be proud!

Being in a sleeper car on @Amtrak Southwest Chief makes me wonder why I have ever flown anywhere. This is such a great experience.

@AmyHemmeter I’ll be in a roomette for the second leg of the journey🙂

Taking my first “business class” Amtrak Midwest today!

@AmericanFietser Wow… that’s disturbing. You’re talking about the Denali, right?

[Nick Calcaterra @bikepractically]

Getting on a bus to go to a short seminar, grabbing a late dinner with friends, and getting right back on the bus to share this tweet with ZERO worries about distracted driving are great things about transit that too few Americans experience. This is freedom🚌

"Whenever some city proposes taking lanes away from a road, residents scream that they’re going to create a huge traffic snarl. But the data shows that nothing truly terrible happens.
...traffic on the road simply readjusts and overall congestion doesn’t really increase."

Every time a slip lane closes, an angel gets its wings.

[Dave @DE_Gifford]

I think we can all agree that I-375 needs to be ripped out but people can currently walk safely along Gratiot from Eastern Market to downtown over the bridge. This new @MDOT_MetroDet proposal will have them crossing 11 lanes which consist of a slip lane & 3 pedestrian islands.

I don’t know the legality of a pice of paper duct taped to this pole, but this suv is definitely parked in front of the @smart_movesus and DDOT bus spot.
