@climatebabes @SouthernUrb Agreed! I see nothing but opportunity here...

@SouthernUrb Build over it..

The situation is only marginally better with Spin's bike deployment over roughly the same area. The only winner here appears to be scooters.🤢
English
So @RaleighTranspo gave up the station-based bikeshare system it owned. And while I put years of effort getting that system off the ground, I fully support the change to the new dockless paradigm.
Now if only @limebike actually put some bikes on the streets around here... 🤷🏻♂️

🛣️ GOOD NEWS: 96% of roads damaged from Hurricane Helene have been reopened, thanks to the hard work of @NCDOT crews and contractors!

@rpmm24 No, it's a legit maintenance issue. But I'm sure somebody within the administration will use this as an excuse to justify getting rid of it altogether.

kms I swear if those is some trump admin Gambit to kill Amtrak

all Amtrak Horizon cars were pulled from service last night, recalled and are being sent East for "Repairs" This is catastrophic and will most likely mean most Amtrak routes in the Midwest, PNW and California will not be operating at capacity or at all This is very bad

@GridlockSam I read the Secretary's letter to NY regarding the termination - their position is that tolling federal aid surface streets is illegal and shouldn't have been approved in the first place, which is a shame. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in court...

DOT says it has terminated approval for congestion pricing - watch my interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=TfOLko…

Have you seen this sexy beast lately? 😍

The Oberlin Road Streetscape Project is nearing completion. Contractors are addressing some final punch list items and working to resolve water pooling issues near the bike lanes. Stay updated on Oberlin's progress: bit.ly/3U6dj3G

New York's (de)congestion pricing, which charges $9 to drive into Manhattan below 60 St, has reduced traffic, increased ridership, reduced subway crime, and is raising funds to fix the decaying transit system. Rare for a public policy to have this many benefits!

@T4America @BethOsborneT4A Wow, fresh perspective? Seriously? I think the reality is that we can all kiss rail and alternative transportation funding goodbye if Trump's first term is any indication. This pick all but determines that outcome.

Really enjoying the comments from former Hoboken, NJ transportation director Ryan Sharp today in Chapel Hill at the annual @bikewalknc meeting. They used an incremental approach and a safe systems philosophy to be a true Vision Zero city. No traffic deaths in the last 7 years!

@UNCDubb @murphsturph Wow. A JoCo stadium would suck beyond belief.
English
@murphsturph Their traffic for events is a nightmare. CLT’s uptown is a game changer Raleigh cannot compete with at the moment.
They would probably have more success locating the stadium in Johnston County, similar to the Braves with Cobb county, because that is where your BB people are.

Gov. Roy Cooper says Raleigh is better spot for MLB than Charlotte. Says Charlotte has a lot going on, including commitment to Knights. "Raleigh is the place that really wants it. When Charlotte decides that they really want to make a play for MLB, anybody who is governor would certainly want to push both of those forward."
English
@RackStackula @murphsturph No, you'll damage the market irreparably. The Bulls are absolutely the best minor league team in the US, and a MLB team next door would destroy that franchise.
And frankly there just aren't enough people here to support an 83-game season.
English
@murphsturph One of the best AAA baseball teams in Durham. Raleigh is only right. You'll get a lot of baseball fans already in Durham willing to make that trip.
English
This has been one of my arguments against trying to bring MLB to the Triangle. MLS would've been much better.
I go to a lot of Bulls games on weekdays and the DBAP is barely half full. The last matinee game was barely a third full.
@MLBRaleigh is not a good idea.
