Cool places don't have good parking

New Parley’s Trail wayfinding map at Sugar House Park

@wanderingdave Chaotic for sure, but sounds like they had already stopped traffic. Feels like the assumption should be that this guy didn't need to die and it should take a ton of evidence to say otherwise.

@maustinw To push back a bit on this, having not seen the body camera yet idk what the right move is. Being on the highway could have caused someone else to have also crashed as well or all kinds of scenarios etc so it really seems like an overall chaotically bad situation

Police saved this pedestrian from getting hit by a car by *checks notes* tasing him and making him fall to his death. Nothing like a cop to make a dangerous situation deadly. dps.utah.gov/press-releases…

What color frame bag would you put on this bike

@bikelakecity @RideUTA another example of 1700 s having so much potential for bikes and buses, but left with scarce service and some mediocre bike lanes😢.

@maustinw @RideUTA OMG I didn't even realize the 17 was 1 per hour. Here I was wondering why it wasn't getting boosted to 15 minutes :|

Route 17 getting a zoo stop and FINALLY getting back to 30 min frequency after covid frequency reductions. Please do this one sooner than later @RideUTA

@bikelakecity @RideUTA I'd call that a win nationally skier visits were -7% y/y and anecdotally, I'd guess the cottonwoods were at least that y/y.

Season-ender report at @RideUTA meeting says ski bus ridership was up 5% this year. #slc

Announcing this summer’s Twilight Concert Series presented by the Salt Lake City Arts Council in downtown Salt Lake City at The Gallivan Center, and (for the very first time) at Library Square on Aug. 16!

@MrAdamX If I were starting from scratch right now I'd be looking at a Pivot Trail 429. They did an Enduro build with a 140mm fork.

What trail bike should I get? Currently on a Revel Rascal

@michaelmiraflor $8.59 SLC, UT

Doing a crowdsourced dynamic pricing experiment right now. If you have the McDonald’s app, can you look up the price of a Big Mac combo w/ medium drink and post a pic here mentioning your location? I’ll start: $8.99 in LA (N Hollywood to be specific).

@bikelakecity Google street view shows they've been there since at least 2011. Kind of cool to go back and look at some spots on JRT back then.

Hey Jordan River friends, it’s possible the misplaced stop signs were put up a much longer time ago than I realized (but still not supposed to be there). Does anyone have old photos of the crossings at 200 S, 300 S, 500 S and 700 S that shows/doesn’t show them? #slc #jrt

New @CityWeekly: Salt Lake City's for-residents-only Hive pass now includes unlimited FrontRunner #slc #utpol cityweekly.net/utah/salt-lake…

@wanderingdave @devinzander This is the best I've found. I've also just locked to railings outside the jazz stadium before and seen others do the same. x.com/maustinw/statu…

@devinzander I don't think so but there's some racks nearby. CC: @maustinw

Does the Delta Center have bike parking?

Had to share some footy of my new cuddle friend, Snuggles Jr. #porcupine @AltaSkiArea

Perspective on the "inversion." Inversion strength is greater in the Ogden Valley east of the Wasatch than along the Wasatch Front. The difference? Emissions. Don't conflate the inversion with air pollution. You can have a strong inversion with no pollution.

Analysis: It's time to think about a Trax station at 1700 South buildingsaltlake.com/analysis-its-t…

@NWSSaltLakeCity Did these end up being stronger gusts than expected? Felt really windy in the foothills of slc this morning

Easterly canyon winds are likely Wednesday morning. The strongest gusts will be at canyon exits, including Farmington and Weber Canyon. Timing for the strongest winds is from the early morning hours through shortly after sunrise Wed. #utwx

This may be my best interview ever. I asked this guy who was snowboarding at @BrightonResort today how the powder snow was at the top. The full story runs tonight on @KSL5TV at 6. #ksltv #kapowblosh

Can't forget the first one
