Big gusts hit south Boulder a few minutes after 11. Stay safe everyone. #cowx

Under the Biden-Harris administration, Madison, Wisconsin, and communities across the country are re-designing roads and saving lives.

@VeronicaODavis I have been boycotting commenting on this app, but “come close” got me. Your storytelling is first rate.

I'm hearing some wild misinformation being spread by some opponents of SB 213 today. To clear it up - no, nothing in SB 213 requires cities to shut down commercial development along transit corridors. To quote actual bill language (1/2):

@AndyKnny Props for “re-embiggen.”

I don't think there's any plan to re-embiggen this bill, at least not in the Senate. House, who knows. But this looks to be a debate about the stripped-down version.

Land use bill is getting its Senate floor debate, if you want to watch some lawmaking TV. #copolitics youtube.com/watch?v=-SZaJB…

Senator Kirkmeyer, in particular, is concerned about input from neighbors. But the hyperlocalized process that prioritizes NIMBY voices has proven a huge impediment for creating more housing. #morehousingnow #reducesprawl #preventdisplacement

So far, the main arguments against SB-213 is that local governments can best address the housing crisis. But we have a housing crisis, so it’s clear the current approach is not working. #morehousingnow #reducesprawl #preventdisplacement

@BoulderBedrooms @ericmbudd On my way. Let's create more housing now! #morehousingnow #reducesprawl #preventdisplacement #affordablehousing

Things are moving fast with bill SB23-213, the most impactful housing legislation ever introduced in CO! Join us this Thursday at the Capitol to testify in support of the bill moving forward w/out substantial amendments! Details & sign up to speak here: bedroomsareforpeople.com/reform

Lots of highway caps in the Reconnecting Communities grant snnouncements. Good analysis by ⁦@americawalks⁩ americawalks.org/reconnecting-c…

@tpap_ @ITDPAfrica @c40cities @WorldResources @StreetsblogUSA @UITPnews Let’s go Kenya.

Kenya to propose congestion pricing in targeted urban centers of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret and Nakuru. If enacted would be a game changer for one of world’s most congested and fastest growing regions. …essdailyafrica-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.busine…

@cnunextgen Oh, this one is special! Just like every other highway expansion!

Yep.

@Naparstek @SecretaryPete Now might be a good time to get started on it.

And why is @SecretaryPete's DOT seemingly AWOL on this stuff?

When will safe streets advocacy orgs and municipal policymakers step up and start working on banning the automobile industry's increasingly crazed products from use on city streets?

The wife of the Mayor of Boulder was hit by a driver yesterday. Who is next? #visionzero

Hey friends with followers, hoping for a signal boost for this survey. Thanks! @DarrylWYoung @StreetsblogUSA @BeninBoulder @awalkerinLA @yfreemark @gabe_klein @TheWarOnCars #freewayfighters #communityconnectors

@BjaminWood @SGT_B_Dub @genehayes Thanks for speaking truth. Would you help signal boost our survey of freeway fighters?forms.gle/uNpXbvba1oEwZJ…… @americawalks @T4America #freewayfighers #communityconnectors

@SGT_B_Dub @genehayes If you think freeway widening is “really well thought out” I’ve got all sorts of things to sell you

Had a feeling before I even looked it up. The street in Centerville where a 16yo pedestrian was killed by a driver? That’s UDOT’s Highway 106 kutv.com/news/local/16-… #utpol #slc

@StreetsblogLA Dropping into this thread to invite all fellow freeway fighters to take our survey to help build the movement to stop projects like this. Please retweet. Thank you! forms.gle/uNpXbvba1oEwZJ…… @americawalks @T4America #freewayfighers #communityconnectors

Thread on some new info on Metro's wrong-headed push to accelerate its 57/60 Freeway widening project - some new information in today's Olympics presentation. (Yep - Metro is widening L.A. Freeways for the 2028 Olympics, which its billing as "car-free")
