READ: Paris is set to roll out its ambitious 2024-2030 Climate Plan, with urban biking at the heart of the plan. #Paris will officially prioritize cycling infrastructure, introducing 180km of additional cycling paths & 130k bike parking spaces by 2026. https://t.co/Lnfd9BwNQ1
@foxyjewishmama Agreed, or even better, make the stranger on the other side of the wall an acquaintance. When isolation and loneliness are leading causes of mental illness, living in proximity to others and having to interact, is not always a bad thing.
There are 12,000 trail miles in the commonwealth, over 330 trail miles in greater Philadelphia, and over 75 trail miles along the Schuylkill River. Celebrate trails this month by exploring your favorite trails or finding new ones. https://t.co/YHsVIz3yyB.
President Biden joined India’s Narendra Modi and Saudi’s MBS at an event here in India to announce a new rail and shipping corridor to connect India, the Middle East, and Europe.
Biden described it as a “game changing” investment.

Former conservative Chief Justice of SCOTUS, Warren Burger:
The 2nd Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime".
@UrbanistOrg Great point. My default assumption is that everybody would like a balcony, it’s just an affordability question. I don’t know that to be true, however. I also don’t know if the extra cost for a balcony is actual cost, or if it’s market rates because there’s a limited supply.
If you were to look at all the rail corridors currently being considered for intercity rail under the new Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which routes do you think are missing? (Light Blue means under review)
As a fan of both Abbott Elementary and infrastructure, pleased that we're improving road safety around half a dozen schools in Philly - installing raised crosswalks, traffic signals, and more that will keep students safe. https://t.co/8Gc0Fh0wPU
44% of kids who lost Medicaid were due to bureaucracy. (And that’s considered ‘good’). Kids who have no insurance because of complex paperwork. For parents who all love and worry about their kids, the stress of not being able to ensure care for them must be a constant burden.
18,355 kids lost Medicaid in PA in 2 mos
Of these 56% were determined ineligible; 44% were procedural which is pretty good compared to many states where we're seeing 70-80% procedural denials
Only 1% of children have moved to PA's marketplace!
No data yet on CHIP transfer

"In most of the world, going to the wrong house is not a deadly risk," writes Nicholas Kristof.
But in the U.S., "we're awash in an estimated 450 million guns and suffer from a mass delusion that a gun in the home makes us safer." https://t.co/fYFsjeDPJK
Starting to install the cantilevered walkway for the Schuylkill River Trail extension south of South Street. Excited to see this come together. #Philly
