Also: give us the stickers, we'll put them to good use.

Oh wait, I already did that, and Council revised the ordinance in response to that situation. Hmm, I wonder what excuse they'll think of this time to justify not doing anything.

You could spend multiple hours filing separate reports for every single noncompliant house on Pontiac Trail and get city staff to tell you that oh actually the ordinance doesn't clearly state that this is not allowed, so sowwy, nothing we can do...

The sum total of her 'bike safety advocacy' on Council was to say "I rode my bike here, it's not safe, therefore we should discourage people from riding bikes here" and then VOTE AGAINST ACTUALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM.

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

Yet again, traffic engineers are gobsmacked that a road closure didn't create crippling gridlock: "You’d never know that a massive highway project, ominously dubbed 'carmageddon,' was underway seven miles away...cars [were] speeding across the Interstate Bridge at their usual clip."

Look, as much as I appreciate the pun (and believe me I DO APPRECIATE THE PUN), if you need a sign to explain your bike rack is a bike rack, it's not a good bike rack. #bikesky

Two large metal decorative sculptures of baking whisks outside the Zingermans Bakehouse in Ann Arbor. There's a sign next to them that says "Don't let your bike get whisked away! Park it here!"

They’ve done this exact same thing to a tee here in my area of Michigan- they get it in the news that oh no that’s not what we did! The news just reprints their press release, calms everybody down- and off they go disappearing people.

I wish we could solve this through, say, an insane charter amendment to create a new local-government board to oversee a nonexistent utility & morally commit the city to burning $3M+ per year on studies and litigation with no guaranteed outcome. But I'm pretty sure that's not gonna work.

Barton Hills is a Village, so they are subject to Ann Arbor Township taxes and jurisdiction (for some purposes).

If I were designing the policy proposal for township abolition I would probably just give their powers to county government instead, but your way might be fine also.

In an unusual reversal from how these things usually work, the City of Bloomfield Hills basically exists for the purpose of avoiding paying Township taxes for stuff like libraries and (until recently) public transit.

ACTION ALERT 🚨 Right now, the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill to restrict bike lanes. Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue! Take action: action.bikeleague.org/page/101946/...

Action alert graphic. White text on a black background: "Congress Must Save America's Bike Lanes
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy erased the data that shows bike lanes reduce crashes and don’t cause congestion. Then he asked Congress to defund all bike lanes — and even remove bike lanes from busy roads.

Now, Congress may be listening: the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict what kinds of roads could have bike lanes on them at all.

We need everyone in Congress to hear us clearly: bike lanes save lives and bicyclists have a right to ride on the roads and get home safely.

Tell your elected representatives: vote NO on any transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict the ability of federal funding to be used on bike safety projects. bikeleague.org/action-center"
