Presenting: The thing I have been obsessing over for the last two days: my theoretical rapid rail transit system for Albuquerque. 7 lines, 60 stations, 104 mi/158 km of rail. Black is ART and 2 potential tram lines. Deeper dive below 👇🏽

This town will literally blast the ground with explosives to widen a road before it funds public transit. You have to laugh

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

a freeway costs $50-200 million per mile to build and we don't ask it to turn a profit. a train line proposes the same price tag and suddenly it needs to be self-funding by 2031. the infrastructure we subsidize reveals what we value and we have chosen the car every single time

🦺🪏 We’re launching the largest road project in Albuquerque’s history. Yesterday, we kicked off the expansion of Unser and Paseo del Norte, bringing long overdue congestion relief to the Westside. This means safer travel, shorter commutes, and more time back for families.
