I find lost things, watch Ann Arbor City Council, and I like squirrels, tech, and city living. Change is fine. Primarily pedestrian.

The number of people at #A2Council who said that this is a “lame-duck” council shows how little attention people actually pay to our local administrative structures.

It is so exhausting and it means we can’t have good-faith discussions with the best outcomes.

Did you know?! Any items checked out at any one of AADL's five branches can be returned to any other branch from 10 AM–8 PM daily, or 24/7 at the outside return boxes. Return oversize items Downtown, where you can wheel them up the ramp while parked in the free loading zone outside the entrance!

My husband plays the bagpipes and the only actual fistfight he has ever seen at a Scottish Highland festival was between two girls (like age 12 and 14) who started actual fighting after one kicked the other’s sword during a sword dance competition. 😂

“As expected, the likelihood of pedestrian death increased – but the rise was consistently greater for height than for weight. In other words, pedestrian fatality risk appeared more sensitive to increases in vehicle height.” On the other hand, air pollutants are more linked to weight.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Better cycling cities are not just "more bike-friendly." They are also more equitable in access to cycling between genders. This means that infrastructure, safety, and policy improvements tend to benefit women more by removing barriers that affect them disproportionately.
