@WillFedder If I had to guess I would say sometimes. Typically an analysis like this will consider trips with an origin and destination inside the corridor study area.

[Phil LaCombe @plannerphil]

@WillFedder Good question! I wish I knew the answer. Forgive me, I didn't run the analysis 😅

[Phil LaCombe @plannerphil]

@WillFedder The average trip length is inclusive of all modes, not just transit.

[Phil LaCombe @plannerphil]

@MarketUrbanism @stevemouzon You're both correct. You just care about different things.

[Phil LaCombe @plannerphil]

@MarketUrbanism @stevemouzon said 5-over-1s could *look* like this, not be constructed or configured like this. There's tremendous flexibility in how 5-over-1s are cladded, and architects could do better. That's his point.

@inebriatedtiger @ReyHSosa Even if it doesn't, the new schedules pulse at Union Station to enable transfers 20 min or less between all lines.

Truly glorious

Beauty restored in Warsaw, Poland

The beautiful facade, removed during the communist era, has been restored to its former glory

@drvolts Why is the UK so much better about this than the rest of the Anglosphere?

[Phil LaCombe @plannerphil]

@berkie1 I've visited it. It's a really nice main street!

@WillFedder The 2007(?) MARC plan included extending the Camden Line to Charles Village. Could go all the way to Bayview!

[Phil LaCombe @plannerphil]

@WillFedder @BaltoMetroCo LRT on the cheap! The North-South Corridor currently under study would be far more useful.

@GerryMcBride I owned one of these! The keypad was admittedly a little tricky.

Update: People can no longer buy, sell, or transfer handguns within Canada – and they cannot bring newly acquired handguns into the country.

@BradleyEwing @UrbFuturistDem @orangutanagram How heavy is the upzoning? What size projects can we expect around the city?

[Phil LaCombe @plannerphil]

@jmgpix People effectively in charge of the Mt. Vernon historic district believe that no new building can draw upon the context of the historic buildings around it. It's disgusting.

[Phil LaCombe @plannerphil]

This is fantastic news! Homes for thousands of people!

So far 12 builder's remedy projects have been submitted in Santa Monica since the Housing Element fell out of compliance. These essentially get rubber stamp approval through the state (I'll have more info in my story tomorrow). One of them is 15 stories & 2,400 units.

@sanpabloavenue Connect with someone at CHK America or a similar specialty firm for an informational interview. Show them your work and ask for career advice. https://t.co/z2FWNcVQ1r

@NathanJRobinson @IDoTheThinking I like historic architecture and quaint neighborhoods too. With good urban design regulations can have those while also building more homes. More of the US deserves the opportunity to grow into places like the beautiful, diverse, mid-rise, mixed-use neighborhoods of Europe.
