Cities aren't loud. Gasoline generators emitting exhaust and noise on a main street where city leadership could install more outlets for the farmer's market happening 24 times a year are loud.

A nudge. Reducing trips and falls caused by luggage on escalators is the aim of D.C. WMATA transit. The video post-install of the bollard would be fascinating. How many will lift their bag over this squeeze point? How many bollard collision injuries? How often will the elevator be unavailable?

If you ever have someone mention that a quick-build traffic chicane is ugly, it's because they envision flex posts. If they say they're too expensive and slow to deploy: a chicane can be created for under $800 with American-made materials. Deployed in about an hour.
