Lifting zoning restrictions may not help housing affordability as much as some hope. But if we must bring some change to established neighborhoods, let’s at least do it with human scale and respect for the things people love about their communities. My latest: bit.ly/4tr2eKE

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Washington DC's rapid transit network ‬⁩was built with briefcase commuters foremost in mind. But it's made the transition to be a network for everyone. Weekend frequency is a key measure.

Capitol Hts Metro station to get 300+ homes & retail - finally! Deal just announced by Gov Moore & Metro. We’ve been fighting for this kind of walkable place for years! Now we need PGC to adopt Blue Line Sector Plan with rezoning to spark new vitality for whole Central Av Metro corridor.

Amazing Alexandria @dashbusva.bsky.social It’s full of students and adults in the afternoon rush. And the diversity is wonderful! Let’s celebrate our transit and our diversity and support our amazing immigrant community. @betterdcregion.bsky.social

@wmata.com some confusion about the F20 WB at King Street around 2:45pm. Out of service bus waiting. Driver on break outside bus. Passengers on board waiting. Another F20 arrives. No announcement made but turns out that bus is going first. No announcement by the driver in break.

#IdeasAtWork Sneckdowns are one of the most powerful (and free) urban planning tools in the world…The snow that stays on the asphalt shows us exactly which parts of the road cars don’t actually use. - @liorsteinberg.bsky.social h/t @streetfilms.bsky.social old.nyc.streetsblog.org/2014/01/22/s...

The Utrecht morning rush hour in the snow did not disappoint!

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Richmond woman (Jamie Brown) says there’s no excuse for driver hitting museum director: 'The pedestrian has a right of way' My daughter Robyn was at VCU before she was killed bicycling in NYC. I know the City of Richmond has been making improvements for pedestrians. This was reckless driving.

SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Metro’s return to ATO has been a success for better service. Much safer w/ no Red signal violations since ATO, 🚇 OTP has increased so more reliable, faster for less travel time & we have saved millions for more frequency. I’ll never stop thanking the team that made this happen.

Two of Santa’s Elves taking Metro! It’s their busy season! @wmata.com @wmatagm.bsky.social

Only 10% of Americans live car-free, but 40% are curious about car-freedom. Remember that the phrase "American love affair with the automobile" was invented by a car-industry copywriter for 1950s spon-con.

Our "inexcusably fun" two day course in transit network design comes to Washington DC, Jan 15-16. A great way to explore the challenge of laying out transit service, for advocates and professionals. Please share! humantransit.org/2025/11/our-...

Government communications should always be this truthful. www.denvergazette.com/2025/12/14/c...

I'm in @latimes.com today on why LAX's $1.5B plan to expand its road network will only make traffic worse. Instead: better FlyAway bus service, more bike/pedestrian/People Mover investment, and congestion pricing for the horseshoe to actually make it flow!:

Had the opportunity to ask @wmatagm.bsky.social about key tools to accelerate transit-oriented development & the head of VRE about how we can accelerate the Long Bridge @amtrak.com rail construction over the Potomac River. @betterdcregion.bsky.social

Huge pro-transit turnout to @novatransit.bsky.social annual summit! Celebrating progress @wmata.com VRE @dashbusva.bsky.social PRTC & making case for increased transit funding. Transit with walkable communities beats more highways & traffic & addresses affordability. @betterdcregion.bsky.social

Construction nearly done on a couple of sweet new Glendale rain gardens along La Crescenta Av. City reconfigured intersections, eliminated slip lanes, & added multi-purpose greening in place of former asphalt. Coming soon: bike lanes, artistic crosswalks, & more. la.streetsblog.org/2025/12/12/e...
