This is the view from an office tower in downtown Dallas, facing South. It's easier to list the parts of this picture that *aren't* car infrastructure than the parts that are. How do we get Dallasites and city leaders to see this as not only a waste of space, but as a drain on the city's budget?

Today's #WeekWithoutDriving adventure: Biking like 40 pounds of compost 11 miles across Dallas only to find that I came on the wrong day. Luckily they let me drop it off anyway. My ride was mostly pleasant and I'd do it again, but planning is key!

Dallas City Council is voting on an amendment tomorrow to cut bike lane funding. Bike lanes improve street safety and provide a desperately needed alternative to driving, and make transit accessible to more people. Email your councilmember! dallasbicyclecoalition.org/blog/post/20...

Photos from this evening, one in Downtown Dallas, two in Deep Ellum

Sidewalk at the Walnut Hill Station park and ride. Power lines are usually invisible to me, but they made themselves pretty obvious last night for some reason.

Here are a couple of photos from Critical Mass this evening. Couldn't be bothered to edit them.

Rainy day downtown Dallas vibes

Mary set an exceptionally powerful example of leadership in advocacy. I've been an advocate in various causes for years, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've met someone as capable, passionate, and committed as Mary. The transit advocacy community has lost one of its best this week.

Great DBC Board meeting to kick off the year. Amazing things are coming for biking in Dallas!

If this level of destruction happened to our land any other way, we'd call it an environmental disaster. Since it's car infrastructure, we call it "development."

#parkingreform underway in Dallas! So many advocates showed up. I tried to use the "costly parking mandate" language that @parkingreform.org shared earlier today and missed, but made the point that the city's finances were dire and we needed the density to bring in revenue. That got their attention!

Timely advice for today’s Dallas City Plan Commission meeting!

Took the train downtown Dallas, walked into a local microbrewery, got a free barbecue sandwich, ran into someone I know, and played BINGO. I love living in a city. Not a perfect city, but a decent one where cool and quirky things happen and where I don’t have to drive to participate.

I’ve been trying to tell y’all. Signal is a great, easy way to upgrade your security with minimal hassle: signal.org www.forbes.com/sites/zakdof...

A report out of the North Texas animal welfare front — this wildlife center could really use some help.

I plan to be there! Let’s go!

On Saturday, the Dallas Bicycle Coalition hosted a bike valet at the Deep Ellum Block Party. It was a ton of fun providing this service to our community alongside other volunteers! We’re always looking to get more people involved with local bike advocacy: dallasbicyclecoalition.org/signup/
