DC only allows trucks in designated commercial loading spots, but there is a midday window from 10:30a-2p M-Sa where they can use metered non-loading spots. Turns the commercial strip I live a block off into a delivery zone during those hours many days but prevents conflicts at more popular times.

Rather concerning… “But more pedestrians and bicyclists were killed in those crashes than have been in any year since 2020.”

Kansas City just accomplished something I didn't think was possible...they built a truly excellent modern streetcar line. And it's just the beginning for them! youtu.be/LDqsQBglwF8

Happy @kcstreetcar.org Expansion Friday to all who celebrate! Stretching nearly 6 miles from the Riverfront to UMKC, the service has outperformed nearly every other modern streetcar operation in the U.S. on its initial route.🎉🚊

The KC Streetcar expansion opens Friday. Here’s how the city is celebrating
A two-day celebration happens along the streetcar route to mark the opening of the 3.5-mile expansion toward UMKC and the Country Club Plaza.

Objectively, what you can do with the space taken up by freeways, like in Kansas City, is really wild.

Hopefully they’re getting some of the new ones out to burn-in!

A lot of work has occurred in a week & a half at the 3rd & Grand area. Now that the equilateral track has been installed, & concrete poured, streetcar testing in that area can begin. We are 1 step closer to resuming downtown KC Streetcar service...just in time for #Superbowl Sunday. Go Chiefs!

Not like the City spent $50M to build a 1,000 space (LOL 😂) parking garage around the corner... Insane.

Not quite sure Riverfront extension will be done this time next year, and likely a lot of Riverfront district phase 1 construction happening next to stadium then. 2026 probably has it all, plus the new bike-ped bridge... Never a perfect time. ha

We’ll just assume they used zero-based numbering (very common in software), makes you #161,161!
