Standard arterial intersections force vulnerable people to constantly negotiate with heavy machinery. The best designs eliminate this conflict entirely through grade separation. Sending active transit under or over the road is the safest, most efficient design.

This project just won planning approval near my small town in Michigan. Basically between a substation and a dam, so big tower transmission facilities are already on site. They are converting a golf course- wonder what @commercialsolarguy.com thinks about this kind of deal wwmt.com/news/arc/bes...

Federal appeals court rules in favor of motorist searched after fabricated traffic stop. “The officers... claimed Rosales had ‘failed to signal’ his turn. ....dashcam video showed... [the] Mustang’s left-turn signal was blinking as [he] waited at the intersection." reason.com/2026/09/28/t...

The 5th Circuit rejects qualified immunity for cops who searched a driver after a bogus traffic stop

Dashcam footage contradicted the officers' claim that the driver failed to signal before they questioned him about drugs and searched him.

I think one of the undercurrents of our fractured political reality is that basically everyone has come to realize that the people who rule the world do not possess any particularly impressive level of intelligence or capability

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

You ain’t kidding. Caught this gem the other day. (Lower-right is the City of #Detroit.) It is outrageous. #Michigan either starts charging these suburbanites at the true cost of their externalities or this state is done done. It is that serious now.

A social media post on X (formerly Twitter) by user Mr. Cyrus Wheeler (@mrCyrusWheeler) presenting housing market statistics for Independence Township, MI over the last 12 months. The post lists a median sale price of $417,250 (flat YoY), a median DOM of 10 days, 396 homes sold, and a sale-to-list ratio of 100%. Data is cited as of Sept 16, 2026 from Realcomp II Ltd. Below the text, a link preview card from metrodetroithomes.com lists property taxes for Independence Township MI at 32.48–35.08 Mills.

A smartphone map interface displaying a satellite view of the metro Detroit, Michigan area, with "Independence Township" entered in the search bar. A red pin enclosed in a dashed square highlights Independence Township near Village of Clarkston and Interstate 75. Nearby labels include Lake Orion, Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Rochester Hills, Troy, Bloomfield Hills, and Royal Oak. Major highways and local roads are highlighted in green, with red dashed lines indicating closed road segments near Royal Oak and Dearborn.

"Running errands by bike is not practical when you have children, especially with a baby." What's possible in life is limited by the city you live in. When the infrastructure enables you, the options give you freedom.

I keep seeing more and more bootleg e-motos around town. People buying them online because the local shops only stock grandma-coded Aventon (LOL) or $8,000 cannondales. The Aventons are selling! There is obvious demand for e-bike as a transport mode. But huge market is going entirely unserved
