The lack of plans for the RFK Stadium metro is a HUGE problem. DCFT should play in Nationals Park. Problem solved! It is traditional for football to play in baseball stadiums. Football stadiums are empty too much and are not as economically viable as baseball stadiums. ggwash.org/view/105011/...

No Metro, Yes Problems: Can RFK’s transportation plan be saved?
The new Commanders stadium needs to be served by hardcore bus prioritization and world-class walkability and bikeability if DC wants a chance at avoiding a traffic nightmare every Sunday.

In a system where ALL the stations look identical, especially from the trains, this is crazy! Sigh...Memories of the platform signs being one notch higher on the wall where they could not be seen from inside the trains. And info on posts below 5 feet and blocked by people standing on the platform.

What's most remarkable about this news story from Los Angeles isn't the circumstances, sadly, but news coverage that is sympathetic to tactical urbanism and precise in its use of language. Something is shifting public perceptions of the problem of traffic violence, and how to solve it.

And here's how many people would fit on the same street if they were all driving cars instead of riding bikes... #CarsRuinCities
A picture of a Parisian street with a bike lane full of people biking, waiting in a long line at a stop. A red box is drawn around the first 8ish people, who only occupy the footprint of about 1 (large American) car when using bikes. It's a fraction of the total capacity of the bike lane—dozens of other people riding bikes are waiting behind them.
