The #Zoox “toaster” has the feel of a horse-drawn carriage — as imagined by 2001: a Space Odyssey — complete with climate control, music control, and wireless charging. Consider me officially bullish on the future of shared, autonomous mobility. #autonomousvehicles #TDM

"The modern city is a paradox. Designed to bring people together, it increasingly keeps us apart, stranded in traffic, saddled w/debt, and choked by air pollution. The root cause isn’t a mystery. We built our cities around cars, not people." www.fastcompany.com/91385004/why... #WeekwithoutDrivingATX

Austin City Council has been sending mixed messages about what development should look like near Lake Travis -- especially at 620 & 2222. The Planning Commission & ZAP need clarity if we're going to create consistent policy: austinmonitor.com/stories/2025...

In a 1972 study, Donald Appleyard showed how traffic rates influence social interactions & friendships. People living on HEAVY TRAFFIC streets; 0.9 Friends 3.1 acquaintances People living on LIGHT TRAFFIC streets; 3.0 friends 6.3 acquaintances Prioritize people over traffic.

Don't say "Parking Requirements" Instead use "Costly Parking Mandates" The language we use evokes emotion and mental shortcuts; we like to create coherent stories. Framing the story of parking reform in a compelling way will help us succeed. 🧵/7

Thank you Zoning & Platting Commissioners! Today, #Austin got one step closer to ending the Euclidean stranglehold: "THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the following commercial uses be added to the list of ALLOWABLE uses in all MF zoning categories... and CONDITIONAL uses in all SF zoning categories"

This is why, all else being equal, a two-way protected bikeway is better than two one-way protected bikeways. The former allows passing, while the latter is often too narrow. This is not a universal problem, but has been the case with a number of recent Bay Area projects.
