Also, this map doesn't show the bike lanes and other items that have been added to make active travel safer and accessible.

Agree. If you get a chance to look at the trail map you will see the connections. I took a tour several weeks ago, started at a local coffee shop, traveled over to the transit center, biked by the high school, several businesses, several neighborhoods, and the university.

Trump admin's new rule adding prohibitively expensive new fees for "OPT"—temporary work authorization program for international students and new grads in the United States—is out. Would require colleges to pay $70,000 for year one. $30,000 for years two and three combined for STEM fields.

"The economy baked a bigger pie then handed everyone a smaller fork". Trump focused on #EpsteinClass #Billionaire #TechBros and not every day Americans. Vote the GOP out.

Could not get out to one of the local bike rides to school this morning, so I just took a bike ride to a local suburban business. 50F and sunny is a great day for a bike ride. Always fun crossing the 4 lane 55 mph SR, without signalization, to get to the multi-use path. @odot-statewide.bsky.social

The affordability crisis in the US caused by Donnie 2 Dolls is resulting in more families that are homeless. The #GrifterAdministration is at the same time destroying the safety net for Americans. Meanwhile, we are lucky to have people like Davis in Arizona helping families through the struggle.

Amazing that every time a bike lane is installed near businesses the owners always complain it is going to destroy their business. Wild that this continues to happen despite all of the studies that show the exact opposite. Is this related to #Motonormativity or something different?

I like the twist the author puts on the argument about who gets priority on the road. "But the argument could just as easily be reversed: "This is not about banning driving. It's about moving driving to times or areas where the conflict with other traffic is less." Breaks #Motonormativity brain.

Yes, and in the suburbs this means creating safe active travel infrastructure and connections to travel to businesses, community amenities like parks, healthcare, and other destinations. I can get pretty much everywhere I need to go within a 5-10 mile #eBike ride if there was safe infrastructure.
