Four miles of the Erie Canalway Trail in Rochester are officially back open! Today, we joined the New York State Canal Corporation to celebrate the completion of improvements, including new paving, drainage, fencing, wayfinding signage, safety features, and accessibility upgrades.

It seems like every successive election in the US is more negative, ie, more about anger toward incumbents rather than any positive program by challengers, but this upcoming election is the most purely negative I think I've ever seen. Can anybody really lay out a coherent Democratic message?

I think people would be less likely to buy large vehicles if it was a huge pain in the ass to drive them here, especially in cities. Higher gas prices are part of it. But there should be extra fees and taxes based on weight. Parking your giant Suburban should be incredibly difficult. etc.

Reading "Life After Cars" and was blown away by this fact. A light rail station being added to a rural area in Japan reduced health care costs in that community to the tune of $600 per person per year!! 🤯

Because there is yet again another article blaming e-bikes for cars killing people, I am once again asking why, as we are facing a climate emergency and the highest gas prices ever, every newspaper in the country has decided to whip people up in a frenzy against bikes.

I've been really into watching dashcam footage compilations lately and I am ready to declare that 99% of the accidents from changing lanes or pulling out of a business on a stroad are the fault of the person who designed the road.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.
The famous Copenhagen shopping street where it opens up into a triangular public place and gathering place, filled with people.

The cognitive dissonance of car culture is exhausting. People foam at the mouth when you propose funding walkability, bikes, and high quality public transit. They aggressively fight against the exact non-car mobility options that would actually solve the traffic they endlessly complain about.

As the opioid crisis takes center stage — almost 100,000 deaths in six years — 190,000 people were killed by speeding, drunk or distracted drivers in that time.

Their plan is to say as little as possible and win by default, which in their mind is the safest path that doesn't alienate anyone. This misses the opportunity to galvanize the public around important issues, and then they throw up their hands about how the voters are ignorant and apathetic
