Inertia is the cause of--and solution to--all of life's problems.

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

The best maps have no roads but rail, just gotta get this framed now. Not sure I'd include NJ, Delaware, and MD among the "central states" but who am I to quibble with 1871?

Bonus if you're under 35, we're always looking for young members--that's how I got started, and heaven help us, I'm leading the committee now #TRBAM

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

That thing where it's your first #trbam as a committee chair and you arrive early to the room and worry that no one else will show up.

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

Related: come to the Light Rail committee at 1:30 in Mint (M4)! We'll have the usual business as well as a great presentation from @trnsprtst #trbam

Make Colorado more Albertan. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

No one actually spells out "pantograph", c'mon

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

Sadly I didn't realize you needed to register to be eligible to get write-in votes, but I'll still be writing myself in for District C (I wouldn't hate a couple extra uncountable votes if you're so inclined)

[Jon Murray @JonMurray]

New: half of the @RideRTD board seats on the ballot have only write-in candidates. At a time when metro Denver’s sprawling transit agency faces historic challenges, few people stepped up to run for its board.

For this story, I probed why that is.

And finally, file this as another data point in the "multiple years of meetings leads to a design that's both mostly toothless and also could've been installed in about 48 hours at any time"

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

Even though they're well inside the lines, @DenBicycleLobby can I get an over/under on how long until drivers have crushed most of these?

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

Honest question: shouldn't the posts go where the lines are painted so this actually narrows the roadway? These are only about 24" from the gutter, so this entire design really only reduces the road width by 4 feet.

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

@woolie amazing what you can do with cut & cover and no (or at least minimal) mezzanines

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

Hey @CityofEvanston you might want to get your house in order. Probably don't want to be the last thing named after John Evans https://t.co/WYqmdV71WR

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

@StarLineChicago it has "high speed" in the name so it must be, that can't just be puffery

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

@StarLineChicago no true Scotsman!

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

@StarLineChicago SEPTA might take umbrage at that distinction

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

@StarLineChicago It's wild out here

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

Has any other agency struggled to even get candidates for the board the way RTD is?

[Nathaniel Minor @nbminor]

The only competitive RTD race in Denver is no longer competitive. Steven Gibson told me today he's pulled out of the race, which means @RuschaWrites is the lone candidate in District B (she's a write-in).

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

I'm so glad @DenverDOTI didn't water down the plans for the Perry St bikeway. These new stencils will definitely slow drivers down and keep people safe. It's finally obvious that bikes have priority here--just ignore the unfettered free parking on both sides of the street

[Ted Rosenbaum @MassTransited]

Fun @POTUS bait at InnoTrans
