Cheap and dirty protected intersection in Austin

Austin staffer says two way bike lanes are super safe. Dropping crashes about 30% on every street they add them.

I’m on a tour of the walkable Mueller neighborhood in Austin, Texas. The city’s vision zero coordinator is saying the city lowered speed limits (to 25 mph) on 800 residential streets all at once.

The US’s response to child traffic fatalities: telling kids to look both ways. Meanwhile Norway:

This is a child I know who was killed. The way the news bends over backward to blame the kid and absolve the driver is deeply deeply sick. Our society, idk 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Cool now I’m triggered by my kid’s schoolwork

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

A rare sight these days. But one that gives me hope.

This is the kind of thing I really think SF is in the right to tell Waymo to fuck off about. They are allowed to set reasonable conditions on the operation of these companies on public streets

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

This but for every kid. (What the book I’m working on is about)

Thanks to @johngreenfield.bsky.social for showing me Chicago's best bike infrastructure.

I love these. The “bye bye buggy.” My daycare had one when my kids were there. For walks

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Guess how much they're asking for this mansion in Cleveland Heights?

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

So rare to get a functional walkable retail corridor like this in Ohio. This one, Lorain avenue in cleveland, is emerging as a legit one tho imo.

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Los Angeles is becoming a cautionary tale about what happens when cities just completely abdicate their responsibility for keeping people safe on the roads imo. Site where a pregnant mother was killed on a family bike ride

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Research for my book. Loooooove this stuff. Guess who makes a prominent appearance?

010

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

My question is this. Where are the big important agencies like ODOT on important practical transportation questions for essential services like schools?

010

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

All of this is so weird and dysfunctional

One thing I love about Honolulu is it seems like seniors are pretty active and visible here. In Ohio where I live they seem much more isolated. Idk why that is.

010

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Honolulu is the coolest city omg 😍😍😍😍

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Full transparency is the bare minimum cities/states/whoever should require from these tech companies that wanna beta test potentially deadly technology on the public FFS.

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Name a better public space in the world than Waikīkī beach. You can’t. (Or at least belongs in the top 10 imo)

It costs $55,000 per stall (!!) to create garages parking in Hawaii. 👀Developer Stanford Carr says reducing parking is the key to creating more transit oriented development in the state (Oahu MPO’s 2026 Transportation forum)

I met the transportation planer for the island of Maui last night. He said he read my book a made this image and hung it in his office 😂😱 Keiki means child

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Here's an example of the kind of big developments that are underway surrounding the system.

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

This is a future station site. They’re planning thousands of units of high density housing here. They’re first projects, which are affordable, break ground this year. Will have a higher density than Waikiki

These guys said they ride every week just for fun. Stop at the market

It’s driverless with 99%+ on time performance

Guys I’m on a guided tour right now of Honolulu’s new rail system, skyline 😱

The Ribbon" in Toledo, Ohio, an outdoor roller/ice skating trail/rink is my favorite public space intervention I've seen in years. Part of a massive Metroparks expansion that is all 👌🏼

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

This is the kind of thing that undermines public trust in AV tech in a big way. And an example of why we need third party quality control, which is going to have to be government regulation

031

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Unfortunate timing for Waymo, which was right in the middle of its “anyone who raises any concerns about us/our tech is heartless and just wants people to die on the roads” PR blitz

020

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Not all men are bad drivers. But statistically they are a lot more likely to get killed in a car wreck. Macho car culture contributes, including action movies with car chases

Say hello to my new bestest buddy

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Can we all just agree that these cars from the Grinch live action movie are how cars should look.

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

In the book I’m working on, I’m kind of critical of schools ( really society) for over protecting kids, denying them opportunities to walk, bike and explore their n'hoods. But I gotta give credit where due Today my kids school did a field trip to a nearby destination (an artist studio) by foot

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

I don’t care what anyone says, the winter color palette is utterly charming. Get out and take a walk if you can!

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

I’m kinda anti Gehry. The era of starchitects making sculptural buildings that didn’t function real well to impress art critics was mostly bad imo.

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Let’s say this is a normal person, they get killed. Internet commenter: “look both ways before you cross the street, dummy!”

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Sort of shorthand for which places have high quality of life/high tech employment

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

This is just to trigger urbanists. A Whole Foods in central Miami with five (six?) floors -- but instead of being topped with housing (the dream!), they're topped with 100% parking. And they have grade-separated transit right in front 😭

Please admire this Dodge concept truck I saw at the Ford Museum in Detroit last weekend.

040

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Christ, look at this car. it’s a free for all out there on the roads and nobody wants to take ownership of it and do anything

060

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

Love the over garage in an ally housing type. I’d love to live in a house that fronts an alley. No traffic.

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

I love that Cleveland Metroparks is using these efficient Kei trucks on their trails. These have great visibility and are relatively lightweight so are also safer for any potential collisions with pedestrians and cyclists.

I was in Toronto last weekend with my family (it was refreshingly functional!). One of my big takeaways is that cities with subways are just totally different animals than cities without. The foot traffic! 😍

030

Angie Schmitt @schmangee.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

Honestly scary that Europe is going to start allowing American companies to import these monster trucks into their cities with little old ladies on sidewalks 😬😬😬😬😬 (as a result of tariff negotiations)
