Another quote from the article that jumped out to me: “I get fists waved at me . . . I’m getting honked at or yelled at.” I had to backtrack to confirm this was from a driver. Anyone who bikes experiences this -- and far worse -- every. single. day. Our system is set up to bully people on bikes.

I didn't vote to raise my taxes so the city could pay for an ad campaign telling me "do something" about climate change. I want *the city* to do something about climate change. Like, I dunno, fund things that actually make it easier to walk, bike, and take transit.

This is so misguided and a total waste of 💰. People don't want to walk long, twisty routes. Just make Broadway and Lincoln safer streets to cross, rather than highways through the heart of downtown.

So many good quotes in this article, it's hard to pick a favorite, but here's an example: “I had a mandatory parking minimum, even though what I was building was itself a parking lot,” Farah said. “Having to build a parking lot for your parking lot is dumb as f---ing rocks.”

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

Cars are getting 1cm wider every two years. That may not sound much, but over time it adds up, and they're showing no signs of slowing down 😬 That's #carspreading. Our new campaign is calling on city leaders to make parking policies fairer by varying costs based on the size of a car. Why? 🧵1/8

This is a fundamental challenge for incorporating community input into transportation planning. People are experts at their lived experiences. They are terrible at predicting how that experience might change if the system changed.

Jill Locantore @jlocantore.bsky.social · 21/03/2024

People often casually dismiss my expertise in a field I've been working in for 20 years. Everyone thinks they are an expert in transportation because they use it every day. I flush the toilet every day, but I do not second guess the plumber when it needs fixing. I just want them to fix it.

It's not surprising at all that yet another study found that pretty much any way of getting around other than driving a personal vehicle is better for the environment, but the assertion that the food eaten by people walking should be counted towards transportation GHG emissions is patently absurd.

The transportation system is failing me today. I just spent 20 minutes walking the long way to a bus stop, because the direct way is unsafe, waiting for a bus that didn't come, and then walking back home to drive. The problem isn't individual choices, it's the system that forces us into bad choices.

Eventually, thanks to the voter-approved Denver Deserves Sidewalks initiative, this bus stop will be connected to a sidewalk. But today, it still sucks.
