Mixed urban streets that present as highways have more serious crashes. Check out our new article in @envplanb based on cluster analysis of segmented street view imagery. Coauthors @Yuchenn_ and @MobileHarv. Share link: journals.sagepub.com/share/PHY5JUNZ…

@ArmitaKar @MobileHarv @huyenkle Congratulations!

Officially a doctor now! 🎓 A special shoutout to my awesome advisors, @MobileHarv and @huyenkle. Thanks for always having my back. My PhD journey wouldn’t have been so smooth without all the extra care and guidance. We make a great team together.

@scottiev @DavidZipper @GHSAHQ You can compare some of the rates and conditions between cities in different states here: crashdataexplorer.org

@DavidZipper @GHSAHQ This is a wild map. Have you every tried to walk somewhere in Florida? Sunbelt states have prioritized vehicles over people.

New report finds that over 8,000 pedestrians were killed on US roadways in 2022. Jimmy Carter was president the last time that happened. ghsa.org/resources/Pede…

@Gonzalez4NY And it's a failure to stick a "100% electric" label on this truck without also reconsidering its size, priority, and presence in one of the densest multi-use urban places in the US. An upcoming review of the city's truck routes should include that: nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/05/24/new…

My heart hurts tonight as we mourn another neighbor lost to traffic violence. We’ve had deaths in every part of the district this year, and yet the necessary infrastructure for safe streets remains largely unimplemented. We deserve so much better. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-ci…

New paper with @FAU_Planning colleagues deepens understandings of vulnerable users in transport safety planning, showing how pedestrian crash risk is intertwined with racial and income inequality: doi.org/10.1177/036119…

The solution to make them safe is multifaceted but starts with a reset: "we have let an assumption of the necessity of widespread large truck traffic dictate the pace and design of our most central mixed-use roads, with cars benefiting most of all." [2/2] nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/05/24/new…

NEW: An analysis for @StreetsblogNYC showing the disproportionate harm to pedestrians and cyclists from non-highway truck routes in New York City. These wide roads often have dense, mixed land uses, and are clogged with car traffic. bit.ly/43qOTV8 [1/2]

@EmFriedenberg There is no equivalence between the massive costs and externalities of cars in cities with those of dogs. Also, look at that face.

hottest take yet: much like cars, dogs are private property that impose a large external cost on public space, and should be taxed as such

@MobileHarv Seriously. For a walkable/bikeable one downtown check out The Hills Market Downtown. My go to during 2020. thehillsmarket.com

@the_transit_guy Check out @TransitMIA. Doing some great, tough advocacy work. twitter.com/TransitMIA/sta…

What are some groups and/or advocates doing some great work in the transportation, housing, or urbanism space? Reply below please!

App-based delivery workers are increasingly in danger from gun violence if they go to the wrong address. And in stand-your-ground states, they lack protection under the law. This story from South Florida: nbcmiami.com/news/local/cou…

@ajlamesa @ChittiMarco Yes this is a stretch of the main road in my New Jersey hometown (pop 25K). Hasn't changed in decades except clearing out a few spaces for outdoor dining in 2020.

@ChittiMarco I bet you could find quite a few downtown U.S. streets like this in smallish-city downtowns.

I taught a core, required undergraduate class at Rutgers as an adjunct for over three years. Double and triple sections. Adjuncts deserve to be compensated in line with their essential contribution to universities.

Happy spring break everyone! Last week the LA Times reported on my recent study showing that LA census tracts whose residents drive less are exposed to more vehicular air pollution. ...and then a funny thing happened. A short thread on that & what our study actually says.

Crash Data Explorer now supports analysis and comparisons of ped/bike safety for cities in four US states. It may be useful for teaching and advocacy purposes. Any questions, comments, issues, interest, please reach out. More to come. crashdataexplorer.org

@rachsyme I like @arborteas. Started ordering when I lived in the Midwest. Favs are Golden Yunnan and Tulsi. arborteas.com

This negative review I wrote of a Columbus rental building over two years ago as a prospective tenant makes a lot more sense after @ProPublica's recent reporting about @RealPage. Housing prices should not fluctuate daily. propublica.org/article/yields…

@themorrancave @KarlBode That's the one. Siberia Bar. Was originally in the 50th street station. Moved nearby in the mid 2000s and then closed thereafter. Good jukebox. Pictured in this article: nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-en…

@KarlBode Siberia?

@DrTaraGoddard Check out the Pivot app and related kiosks, which was developed as part of the Smart Columbus initiative: pivotcolumbus.com

@actfortransit @NACTO @NHTSAgov Yes, agree with this. I used examples from the city I currently live in, encounters I've had with oversize vehicles there recently, and even included a photo I took to illustrate a point. But it is good to read up on the specific issues first.

By not taking into account people walking, biking, or in wheelchairs, @NHTSAgov routinely gives the MOST unsafe SUVs on our streets 5-star safety ratings. YOUR voice is critical for changing this. The deadline is tomorrow. See how to submit a comment: 👉nacto.org/2022/05/24/why…
