Got some free time on the 14th? Head over to La Joya Gardens and join Strong Towns Detroit to learn what the city is changing in its zoning laws so we can encourage more transit-oriented development and walkability!

The DDOT Reimagined plan proposes doubling bus service, a truly wonderful plan: But it will require increasing DDOT's budget. We're calling on the city to increase DDOT's budget to accomplish this goal. Let the city know you support doubling DDOT.

A Look Into the City of Detroit’s Sidewalk Reporter System. Takeaways: City has 10,000+ reports without a determined inspection date & many date back years, some to 2018. Great work!

@DetroitGreenway I think we need something like automated traffic enforcement that would dedicated ticket funds to better street designs. Unless the city can grow its tax base quicker it seems a lot will stall.

[Ted @tedtansley]

@DetroitGreenway Is the drop connected mainly to tur ending of the ARPA funding or because city council is putting money to other things?

[Ted @tedtansley]

@DetroitGreenway Oh good. Hoping they show more of it off in the budget and through actions each year. Just feels like they keep saying these things and it is slow progress.

[Ted @tedtansley]

@DE_Gifford @MichiganDems Also, a serious conversation about roads must include talking about how overbuilt our road network is. We'll end up taxing ourselves to death if we don't look for ways to optimize the system.

[Ted @tedtansley]

@JasSch1 @samueljrob I think this did a good job discussing some current issues related to that. Seemed like most issues were kept under wraps to show unity but now there is less need so it is unraveling.

Idk if I'd vote for Tate. Was pretty disappointed with how he operated as house leader. Will have to see how a campaign shapes up.

[Sam Robinson @samueljrob]

Michigan House speaker Joe Tate wants to run for Detroit mayor. He met with local Dem leaders this week about a campaign. I’m told to expect an announcement after lame duck.

[Ted @tedtansley]

@JasSch1 @samueljrob I think it has something to do with waiting until lame duck to get a lot of important things done that they could've done all year.

[Ted @tedtansley]

Has Michigan done anything to grow hunting numbers?

I feel like I keep reading the same story every year and no programs to get people into the sport. If people aren't passing down the knowledge, how do we expect to get more hunters?

Cities and States will need to step it up to get us to reach our climate goals instead of waiting for a federal government to handle it. https://t.co/yv8wfqcS0b

What leads someone to think it is okay to litter their used diapers? Just found two full grocery bags of used diapers in my yard...like why? Do we not know what to do with our waste?? I see this all the time wile picking up litter.
