Hey, @courierjournal:

[Mark R. Long @longmarkr]

@PATHTrain Please resume announcements telling people to take their damned backpacks off. It’s like this every day. Sadly, people clearly don’t get basic etiquette training at home anymore.

[Mark R. Long @longmarkr]

@DanBorsch @KYTCDistrict5 @LouPubWorks @LouisvilleMayor Indeed. This is what happens when incompetence and/or intoxication meets an engineered invitation to speed.

Brownsboro to Story Ave curve functioning as it was designed to, yet again. I hope the person taken away by ambulance will be OK. @KYTCDistrict5 @LouPubWorks @LouisvilleMayor #louisvilleky

[Mark R. Long @longmarkr]

@colbertlateshow Nicely done. RIP Mangione.

A rare, bipartisan push to counter China and revive America's once-storied, but moribund maritime industry faces a big obstacle: Not nearly enough hands on deck.

A city spent $11.5m on a streetscape project. Within 4 years, they generated $273m in economic output. 🤯

Conventional wisdom thinks of car traffic as a liquid, where adding capacity (ie. width) keeps it flowing. But in reality it acts more like a gas, where it expands to fill the amount of space available. And the only proven way to relieve congestion is to evaporate some of it...🧵

Speed cameras in Philadelphia along a single stretch of dangerous road created a "90% reduction in excessive speeding, a 36% drop in car crashes, and 50% fewer traffic deaths in the first seven months."

Just moved back to @JerseyCity from @Louisville, and I can tell you, there's a lot that's working here that could work back home, @LouisvilleMayor @LouPubWorks @louisvillekygov @loudistrict4 @benforlou8

So if cameras are allowed to stop street racing, we're all good to use them to curb other forms of speeding and reckless driving, right? 'Bout time. @LMPD @LouisvilleMayor @VisionZero_Lou

@robmolou @kyexpocenter Great spot for an impound lot.

[Mark R. Long @longmarkr]

@robmolou The Louisvillest feature of that stretch is how the sidewalk ends… Immediately behind the school for the blind.

[Mark R. Long @longmarkr]

@robmolou Well, to start, how about carpooling? You can pack 4-5+ kids in the standard suburban wankpanzer.
