Mobility stuff

Excellent piece here by @humantransit

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

"In big cities, transit is an essential service, like police and water, without which nothing else is possible. Maybe that's how we should measure its results," writes @humantransit. https://t.co/ySvx0g0JOq

Workshopping Mobility Hubs with @trimet @kcmetrobus @SoundTransit @NelsonNygaard @perkinswill and even more for #UrbNext2019

The pedestrian scramble at 5th Street and Spring Street, amid the Georgia Tech campus. It's quite a sight, with a big crowd like this.

These are public, city streets, not privately owned ones. This can be done by the City of Atlanta. We can reach this height.

[Jeff Owen @jeffreysowen]

Even the dog, Jack, thought it was exciting.

[Nuro @nuro]

We’re thrilled to announce that today we launched the first-ever unmanned delivery service to the general public! Congratulations to Team Nuro and partners @Kroger @FrysFoodStores. #nurodelivers https://t.co/Dicbs7QnPE

@Jonathan_Maus @heyitsweintraub @portland_bus @trimet I sit next to Luke every day; he is very effective!

[Jeff Owen @jeffreysowen]

@JaceDeloney I'm wondering if it becomes paying to avoid the ads, which results in those who have fewer means subjected to more and more ads, while those who can pay avoid ads.

Extra platform space for bus boarding improves street character on Liberty Ave with art, plants, seating #railvolution (bikeway is parallel on Penn) @PGHtransit

[Jeff Owen @jeffreysowen]

Always enjoy starting off a #railvolution with a bike ride! Great tour from Dave @BiketheBurgh tours in Pittsburgh PA

[Portland Bureau of Transportation @PBOTinfo]

We’re seeing how bikes, pedestrians, scooters & transit riders can all share space on the upcoming Division Transit Project! Thx to @trimet for station demo today! #pdxbikes #scootpdx

[Andrew Theen @andrewtheen]

This is how a new multi modal bus station on outer Division will work. Will be 30 of these. Bikes will need to stop as buses load or unload psssengers. Line expected to open by 2022 and @TriMet believes it is good candidate for federal funds

[Jeff Owen @jeffreysowen]

Great tour of South L.A. today for #NACTO18 highlighting Augustus Hawkins Nature Park, changes underway at Jordan Downs, and Watts, Inglewood

@NWurban This is a great illustration; Would love to see similar for bus as well. cc @tooledesign

@Waymo That cover image does not inspire hope

[Tim Papandreou @tpap_]

Proud to see our hard work come forward. The world’s first fully self driving service + public transport partnership. Huge 1st/last mile & transit reach learning opportunity for both Waymo & @valleymetro. This is the beginning. https://t.co/XxlaVkMDft

[Jeff Owen @jeffreysowen]

Recently rode on my first AV shuttle in San Ramon, CA. Thanks to @FirstTransit @Easy_Mile @bishopranch @CCTA for the chance. Very interesting.
