i mean, just look at how the populists talked about the railroad barons and others like them. "The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes, unprecedented in the history of the world, while their possessors despise the republic and endanger liberty."

Hennepin County’s proposed layout for Lyndale Avenue S. falls short. It’s not a people-first design. It’s a decorated, street-level parking lot, dusted with the occasional confetti of mode shift virtue signals. No protected bikeways, 24/7 bus lanes, or green space throughout the entire corridor.

Underrated part of Gold and B Line openings is how easy it is to get around downtown St. Paul now. Walk from my office to Lost Fox is a little long to squeeze into the workday(30 min round trip), but can usually make it 15 min by hopping on whichever of the B/Green/Gold Line is arriving next.

After a 20 min delay, just watched my bus get caught at the light a block away for two cycles by cars blocking the lane. Good amount of the traffic were giant pickup trucks seemingly on their way to the Post Malone show. Felt like a simulation meant to piss me off as much as possible.

“We need *balanced* roadways designs” says the Uptown Association, in a city with 1,000 miles of streets & just 20 miles of protected bikelanes. Balance, to them, is forced car dependency & ensuring we all face the increased safety, health, economic & climate risks that entails. 1/4

Coworker messaged me today asking where I park my bike at our office, second coworker to do that in the last year or so. The first started bike commuting last summer and loved it. Lesson: bring your bike helmet into every place you bike, it might just plant a seed in someone’s head

With 3 of 6 bike bridges set to be closed simultaneously this summer, + the completion of Hennepin/1st bikeways on the east side of the river, there’s never been a better time for the County to plop down some jersey barriers to protect riders in the dangerous Hennepin/1st bridge bike lanes!

This problem extends far beyond Minnesota. Across the country, state DOT models ignore induced demand in their highway widening proposals. It's debatable whether they're being deceitful or just ignorant. Either way, their models are wrong.

On the one hand, banning right on red is a proven way to save lives and reduce injuries. On the other hand, drivers are delayed by a few seconds. So it’s impossible to say if it’s good or not.

RIP Bob Uecker man, so many memories listening to Ueck growing up. Used to watch the Brewers in the garage with my dad, listening to a delay radio instead of the tv broadcast. Yard work during the summer meant listening to Ueck calling the Brewers on a boombox. A goddamn legend.

Reading the Power Broker rn and learning about Robert Moses’ highways that were supposed to ease congestion becoming clogged with traffic immediately is really driving home how MNDOT is dropping the ball on Rethinking 94. Urban highways have created traffic, not reduced it, for 80 years now.

If a street sign announcing eventual safety improvements gets hit by a car, I think that street should automatically get a lane reduction & traffic calming. This is wild. If you’re not following the neighbors advocating for a safer Park/Portland on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DD0eOpdN8Q...
Screenshot of an Instagram post with a photo showing a sign hit by a car in the boulevard.

slowtherollparkportland Perhaps these signs are part of the county's plan for increasing safety on Park and Portland in the next two years...this one blocked a car from the sidewalk! The county still hasn't told us how they intend to deal with the near-term conditions on our streets, and yes, we've asked over and over again. How would you caption this photo?
