When I was in San Francisco early this year I loved the transport museums and thier left leaning analysis of the cities transport history and current ecosystem. These ideas are excellent captured in Hidden San Francisco from @Nowtopian and letting me relive happy holidays!

In other news ... @ITV seem to have moved Greater Manchester over the Pennines today ... and shifted a chunk of Yorkshire this way ...

Tomorrow we publish the methodology for how to downscale the Doughnut to the city. If you want to explore how you could downscale the Doughnut where you live, watch this space on Monday morning!...

A #COVID19 fever map and a Bradford needs urgent care. Cases high and the @BTHFT still too busy. This is such a critical time to keep social distancing, avoid gatherings, maintain hand washing and keep looking after our vulnerable citizens.

The virus is still circulating

Car usage is now at around 70% of what it was pre-COVID. Bus use is still at 25-30%, because of the message to prevent its use. Cycling, walking & e-scootering can’t do the heavy lifting. Buses are mass transit and can - safely and cleanly.

I loved Garnette Cadogan's chapter, the storyof his unexpected turn as a Shabbos Goy and his map of a 24 hour walk in New York. It says so much about how walking connects people to place.

Solnit's third atlas, Nonstop Metropolis, has made me realise that Manhattan runs NE to SW. Because of the subway map I always assumed it was N to S 🤦

Shows the power of a transport map!

@Csalguod I've not, but it's got my name on it, so I should!

@ambrosewhite I've some enforcement ideas in mind

[Dean Ellison @Hex_Maps]

WFH means finally catching up on @Esri online training content.

Long over due, but I've finally watched the introduction to new story maps with @greysonviz and @allencarroll. The frustrations with the new site and now replaced with ideas and opportunities.

Building on the @OrdnanceSurvey #ColourBlind friendly Zoomstack layers I've been finding out more about accessibility and @ArcGISOnline.

I found this really helpful video from @Esri presenting to the US Department of @Interior last year. Recommended.

@ashleyj722AFKJC They have the camera in Liverpool as well. Leeds at least has free drop off parking near by, although more than once I've had a taxi driver pretend to not know about it.

This is after the bus fails to arrive of course

[Dean Ellison @Hex_Maps]

Hurrah, my opinions in the double red lines approaching Speke International airport are reaching a large audience.

I think in both Leeds and Liverpool the only place I see #DoubleRedLines is on the approach to privately owned airports with paying drop off.

Why none in cities?
