Small sample size but the geographic concentration of the replies is pretty interesting

Go Cubs go! ⚾️

I realize it’s probably a non starter but what’s the discourse like around property tax exemptions for non-profits? Seems like ultimately bad policy but not even sure where reforms would need to happen Here is $340,000 gone because the postal service decides to purchase its building in Des Moines.

We hosted a Transit Crawl in Des Moines Iowa this weekend. It snowed. It was fun. 🚌

Eff it I’ll say it. I’m simply, having, a wonderful Christmas time

My bike share ride home at the end of the night was actually quite pretty ❄️…also pretty dangerous almost ate it several times

(The point is that we rely too heavily on traffic signals instead of other intersection designs.)

Cheers to Canada for opening up both the best and worst new transit projects on the continent within weeks of each other. Truly a country of contrasts 🇨🇦

Transit holiday crawl fit check

Light Rail finally comes to Des Moines Wait…

I’m trying to take a photo showing how bad the lighting is but the camera is correcting for it. Damn you technology!

People are acting surprised that FIFA, one of the most corrupt organizations of all time, and Trump, one of the most easily corruptible politicians of all time, have struck a back room deal? lol

Needs more parking

I submitted this path to the beg button on city property being unclear on the city app and the response was the deadline to clear isn’t up yet so ticket closed. Not great! 🫠

I am very excited about this

1) And boom, Des Moines becomes the latest city to adopt a bus network redesign from @humantransit.bsky.social and Associates! 🚌

The pre-dotcom crash era sure was a time to behold

Driveway and sidewalk shoveled I feel so accomplished for 11am on a Sunday I will now waste away the rest of the day

Des Moines mentioned

The entire practice of sprinkling two-way stops into a network of four-way stops is based on a traffic engineer myth that drivers experience so-called "stop sign fatigue," and that reducing the number of stop signs increases compliance.

One thing I will miss about Reimagine DART is these brick bus stops in Sherman Hill won’t be in use anymore. They’re so pretty 🧱

This is so true it hurts

First time using this stop on University and hey look a brand new bench!

Bistro bon voyage

Not to give traffic engineers any slack but these types of accidents should not count towards vision zero statistics. No amount of infrastructure is gonna fix this level of stupidity

Peak WSJ. 10/10. No Notes.

40 min headways on Ingersoll at 6:30pm can’t wait for our new bus network!

Jason earned his invitation to the Hater's Ball with this one 👏👏👏

Go Cats!

The Big Ten West is alive and well in Green Bay

Let’s get at it this week Des Moines 🚲

21 years ago I rode the red line back and forth for 3 hours overnight to bridge the gap between end of purple line and start of orange line trains to get to midway for an early morning flight. RIP my stupid shenanigans

He joked tonight, "It's the first time in history that the progressive young Latino is the well-funded candidate" hell yeah! this is what we're doing at @momentumdsm.bsky.social

We voted! (Mel was entirely uncooperative for the photo op)

Alleviate traffic congestion with this one simple trick!

Hell yeah Chicago. Lets go 🚇🚌

Watching Maverick try to replicate their outdoorsy western brand to the state with the smallest % of public land in the country is both funny and sad.

Also served by DART routes # all of them! Looking forward to this one!

Missed it by 3 weeks but can’t wait to get back and ride! Did catch the Pink Pony Express Livery however

Your reminder that we used to have a fully electrified train from Des Moines to Fort Dodge…😞

Des Moines erasure 😞

A update from the latest transit commission meeting in Des Moines. mailchi.mp/12d39321e0b2...

Finally riding the KC Streetcar…and only 20 days before the extension opens. Bonus points for catching the Chappell Roan car!

Turns on Cubs game Turns off Cubs game

Randomly looking up the 2026 World Baseball Classic and jesus the seeding is terrible talk about a group of death!

Cubs win! Bring on the Hiawatha Series, is anyone calling that? I’m calling it that

Sadly of the left too. They just use zoning as the weapon instead
