Talks to strangers. Pedestrian. Person who bikes. Public transportation lover. Wanderer. he/him.

Thinking about how a couple months ago, @DrDesThePlanner said cities should think about just giving people bikes to go along with Slow Streets improvements. Instead, Uber is putting these on the scrap heap. Unconscionable

We're hearing lots of calls for a return to normal in SF.

Count me out. There's nothing normal about:

a homeless shelter waitlist of 1,000+
a storefront vacancy rate of 18%
a 1-BR rent of $3,600

Let's not go back to normal.

Reminder that until 1958, trains ran across the Bay Bridge.

@lauren_sailor @FrenchFrieLord Ha, this is great!

Never fails to blow my mind that a full 20% of all U.S. car trips are 2 miles or less.

@AaronPeskin @sfnbba @sfmta_muni @GGRASF Wonderful news!
Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
Looking forward to more space to responsibly social distance :)

Restaurant owners are now in favor of using parking for outdoor seating and claiming its a boon for business. For years they complained any removal of parking for safe bike lanes would decimate their businesses. Business owners shouldn't have outsized voices in community outreach

I'm really enjoying reading a ridiculous amount of books during this lockdown.

What have y'all been reading lately?

Work to create extra space for walkers, wheelers and cyclists by the Clyde is underway 🙌

The new lane will run from Saltmarket to Clyde Arc to ease pressure along the Clyde Walkway.

#SpaceForDistancing will help smother spread of #coronavirus during active travel & exercise.

This could be us...

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

Children of meatpacking plant workers protest for safe working conditions: "You need meat for 2 weeks? I need my parents alive!"

In a just world, this would get more attention than the wall-to-wall coverage that white people who want haircuts have gotten. https://t.co/D5DP3va6DY

Two people can't safely pass each other on the sidewalk, but 60' of mostly empty space for cars.

Unsafe, inequitable, unacceptable.

It's another weekend without any Slow Streets in District 3, the densest part of San Francisco.

This means:
Cramped corridors for businesses
No new open spaces for families
Slower travel for essential workers

District 3 should have had Slow Streets a month ago.

@printtemps Hey, me too! :) I even went to Delft, may dig up photos later

Miss you!
