“Why is Orange County so expensive?”
“Why is everyone in Orange County so stressed?”
“Why is everyone in Orange County so rushed all the time?”
“Why is it so hard to socialize in Orange County?”

I could go on.

Last evening, the City Council unanimously voted to continue moving forward with Irvine's first open-streets event. Mr. Aaron Paaley with @CARSLA is the consultant on the planning of this event and brings invaluable expertise to the City of Irvine.

Freeway in LA falls apart, Governor @GavinNewsom flies down to SoCal, declares state of emergency, and gets it fast-tracked for repairs in a matter of weeks. Where is that leadership when it comes to the second busiest rail corridor in the country?

[Californians for Electric Rail @calelectricrail]

Regional rail in Southern California is in serious trouble. If we want an electric rail network that compete with cars, we need serious reforms. That's why we, together with @streetsforall and @RailPAC are proposing a merger of all the rail agencies on the LOSSAN corridor. 🧵

@jletanaka The intersection is crazy wide. Take away a car lane, and I think so.

Yale is a straight shot with 12 foot lanes and a speed limit of 40 miles per hour. This could have been prevented with road design that curtails dangerous speeding behaviors. What action will Public Works do to prevent this from happening again?

Rescue teams found one One deceased female. They covered the car for privacy because of the large crowd. #irvine #breaking

Rescuers think they have found the car. Still no sign of passengers #irvine

Tomorrow, November 9, at 6 p.m., at City Hall, the City will begin preparing the Sustainable Mobility Plan. This plan will focus on ways the City can prioritize alternative transportation options. Your input is essential to create a plan that best fits the needs of our community.

The police investigate for several hours into the causes of the crash… for them to do absolutely nothing to the conditions of the road that made such crashes possible to begin with. This is all too familiar in the cycle of traffic violence. #VisionZeroNow https://t.co/JWpkjnTBxX

The future belongs to those who show up. We’ll see you there! 👊

“A city can be friendly to people or it can be friendly to cars, but it can’t be both.” - Enrique Peñalosa, former Mayor of Bogota, Colombia.

[Scrub @CAScrubJ]

@City_of_Irvine, this is not okay. If anything you’ve increased the danger by giving unknowing cyclists a false sense of safety. These conflict zones are 100ft long. You’re sandwiching riders between two 60mph car lanes with no barriers. This is going to get someone killed.

Paint is not infrastructure.

Mixing vulnerable users with 3 ton SUVs is negligent at best and deadly at worst.
