@atlanticesque @TETRAHELI0S Dunno if someone from Jersey would label JC as Hoboken

@TETRAHELI0S it's funny how you can tell someone from new jersey made this

@CharlotteAlter Sell it to me extremely cheaply, I will protect it from antifa

this city is about to become terrible for brownstone owners. You should definitely sell your brownstone before everything falls apart. Just go go go, sell as fast as you can, don't wait for a good price, just sell it before the mob burns it down

Guess @ZohranKMamdaniโs moving out of his rent-stabilized apartment, just like Cuomo asked for!

Trying to decide if โThis Way Upโ the MAP MEN BOOK is for you?
Reply with your favourite word, and weโll tell you how many times it appears in the book.
Eg. โmapโ = 1,046 times.
โThanโ = 214 times.
The first person to suggest a word that appears just ONCE wins a free copy!

@SeligerGrants @schneider Maybe if they had convenient safe bike access they would be able to fill a several hundred bike spot parking garage like in Schiphol airport in Amsterdam
English
@schneider Iโve flown in and out of LAX hundreds of times not once I have I ever seen anyone walk or ride a bike to or from LAX your argument is absurd
English
LAXโs โroadway modernization planโ is 18+ miles of new roadway, encouraging more people to drive to LAX, despite billions of dollars of investment in a people mover and rail connectivity.
It will also make getting into the central terminal area hostile to pedestrians & cyclists.

A bill passed by the NYS Legislature banning One-Person Train Operation goes against best practices both across the country and world, and would leave New Yorkโs transit system far behind its peers.
ETA asks Gov Hochul to not allow this regressive bill to become law.

BREAKING: Cuomo has fled the NYC mainland following its fall to socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sources say he will establish a new govt on Staten Island with the goal of eventually reclaiming the entire city. Mamdani has promised to purge all remaining Cuomintang on the mainland.

We have been vaccinating people for 50 years. If vaccines caused autism, then North America would be covered in a web of intricate, slightly idiosyncratic bus, tram and train systems.

Autism is the public health disaster, 1 in 32, thanks to vaccines. Get your messaging correct.

@2024dion @DanCigarette @CompletedStreet Are there any DDIs anywhere with more than a rounding error of pedestrian volumes?
English
@DanCigarette @CompletedStreet Thereโs no evidence pedestrians change their behavior when DDs are installed
And the safety gains arenโt from driver confusionโtheyโre from eliminating dangerous left turn movements
English
Drove through a diverging diamond interchange last night. It seemed unnecessarily complex and very pedestrian unfriendly.
Hard no, but I'm willing to change my mind if someone makes a good case for them.

Most big city residents want a Bloomberg-esque mayor - technocratic, rich enough to ignore special interests, capable of attracting a talented bureaucratic corps. Only a few cities can consistently attract them. Itโs odd that NY has gone so long without one (and will continue to)

Small businesses and homeowners in San Francisco: permitting is about to get easier. Today, we announced reforms and legislation that will make permitting faster, simpler, and more transparent. These ordinances will cut red tape, save time and money, and finally make our permitting system work for the people itโs supposed to serve. Here are some examples of what this means in practice: โก๏ธ No more permits for sidewalk tables and chairsโputting $2,500 back in the pockets of small businesses and saving them valuable time. โก๏ธ No more permits and fees to put your business name in your store window or paint it on your storefront. โก๏ธ No more trips to the Permit Center to have candles on your restaurantโs table. โก๏ธ No more rigid rules about what your security gate must look like so businesses have more options to secure their storefronts. โก๏ธ No more long waits or costly reviews for straightforward improvements to your home, like replacing a back deck. โก๏ธ And weโre getting rid of outdated rules to give downtown businesses more flexibility with how to use their ground-floor spacesโbecause if adding childcare centers and gyms will help bring companies and employees back downtown, we should support it. In addition, every city department involved in permitting will track timelines and publish them online. Weโre building one systemโsimple, accessible, and focused on the customer. And weโre not done. In the coming months, weโll roll out a consolidated permit application and bring more of the process fully online. When we make it easier to open a business, improve a home, or invest in our cityโwe donโt just support individual success. We fuel our cityโs economic recovery. We attract more customers, more residents, more small business ownersโand with them, the revenue and energy that San Francisco needs to thrive. Learn more about the initiative at sf.gov/permitsf

Automating the Metro in DC would produce tremendous benefits for whole region, but transit unions don't actually care about quality of transit service.
Maybe that's fine, but at some point progressive transit advocates need to accept these folks don't share our priorities.
English
@wmataGM Please donโt waste the space on the sign with this message, everybody knows fares are required including 100% of the people who donโt pay. This makes it harder to see what bus is coming and is bad UX. Simply have plainclothes fare enforcers fine evaders and kick them off the bus.
English
Fares pay for service. Our team is enforcing fares everyday but we would much rather everyone just follow the rules & pay to fund the bus service our community needs. If someone needs assistance pls sign up for discounted programs like Metro Lift.
Metro Forward@wmata
Customers will now see a new message in rotation on digital bus displays. The message is simple - fares are required for service. To keep our system running smoothly, everyone must pay their way. We appreciate our customers and take pride in serving the region.

The Transit Costs Project, including ETA's Alon Levy, released its proposal for establishing world-class HSR on the NEC.
It offers a comprehensive plan for cost-effective modernization based on global best practices for faster, more reliable service.
Check it out now!
English
@HenryGB_274 @RalphAichinger @LinkofSunshine The NEC is fully grade separated except for one or two tiny boat ramp access roads in CT, and itโs basically a given that any greenfield HSR lines are going to be fully grade separated. CAHSR, Brightline West, the Orlando/Tampa extensions of Brightline, Texas Central are all
English
@RalphAichinger @LinkofSunshine I'm American. We would figure out how to make it like this because the thought of even an inch of land not being centered around cars is anathema.

Can anyone please please tell me what it is that makes drivers lose all brain cells when it comes to train crossings
Brightline has hit a car literally once every 3 days and every single time it looks like this

Dear Prime Minister Carney,
My name is Joey Politano, I am 26 year old American. My government is depriving us of affordable cars and Mexican beers. Our people and our country yearn for freedom. Please send Bombardier Challenger 650.
