Or 3 PM Mountain...

You gotta pay more for houses with walkability because we don't build nearly enough of them... Walkability shouldn't be a "perk" It should be the default

Yes, I went well over my self-allotted 30 seconds, but... I've got all the time in the world; I've got a time machine! @lookbothwayspod.bsky.social

Next livestream recording is this Thursday, Nov 20 at 5p ET. Join us on YouTube (or listen later on any pod platform): www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suvj... On the agenda: 🔹 Trump's plan to kill federal transit funding 🔹 Europe's urbanist backlash 🔹 The meaning of "access"

Here's what it looked like before... They basically turned these 7 parking spaces into a whole lot more

My take on Mamdani's ambitious vision for revamping NYC streets: "The NYC DOT Commissioner position is going to be the most exciting job in American transportation." From the latest @lookbothwayspod.bsky.social (please ignore my crooked glasses): lookbothwayspod.podbean.com/e/episode-9-...

Also saw my first Denver-based Waymo in the wild on my bike ride in...

Dropped by this morning, and this same restaurant expanded their outdoor seat even more into the old parking lot... @parkingreform.org

Or on YouTube if you prefer to see our faces for whatever reason...

Saw these amazing holiday decorations in Denver last night on the corner of 2 high-injury network streets... 'tis the season!

I've been asked to share the fact that my book is now 50% off its usual price (which, to be honest, is much more in line with what I'd want to pay for a book)

Not only did this bus stop in Perth, Australia, show me that the bus would be coming in 3 minutes with a digital display -- but when I pushed that big, yellow button, it also told me so... And yes, the bus showed up 3 minutes later.

Like far too many pedestrians, 12-old Sammy didn't get the attention he deserved, but very nice to see his mom and her efforts getting the attention they deserve from People Magazine... keep up the great work @familiesforsafestreets.org

Biked past this on the way in this morning... way more frightening that most Halloween decorations

Halloween advice from @davidzipper.bsky.social & @wesmars.bsky.social: "Don't be afraid of someone poisoning your kids; be afraid of a car driver hitting them." Full episode: lookbothwayspod.podbean.com/e/episode-8-...

I didn't realize that I could do that with my eyebrow...

Totally agree with the move but honestly surprised they made it...

Thanks for this bill @jlocantore.bsky.social & @bikewalkbus.bsky.social... No, seriously, thank you!

It really is true: Cities aren't loud; cars aren't loud. And EVs won't fix the problem. @wesmars.bsky.social: "Once you get about 20-30 mph, most of the noise comes from the tire-roadway interaction." From the new episode: lookbothwayspod.podbean.com/e/episode-8-...

​Episode 8 is up! On the agenda: 🔹 The scariness of walking on Halloween 🔹 Advice to a young traffic engineer 🔹 Traffic noise & human health 🔹 A trio of new anti-car books Watch on YouTube, or listen on any podcast platform. lookbothwayspod.podbean.com/e/episode-8-...

Setting speed limits with the 85th-percentile is ass backwards... For years, I've been teaching my students about a context-based approach using a grid of Movement vs. Place that is popular in other (much safer) countries. It is great to see it getting some love in the literature...

Wes and I will discuss these new books -- and where the anti-car movement could go from here -- in the next episode of @lookbothwayspod.bsky.social. Coming soon. Subscribe/listen/watch: lookbothwayspod.podbean.com

Terrible story but great reporting by Laura Penington of the Denver Post: - "A man died... after being hit by the driver of a van while riding his bike" - "the driver struck him from behind" And some extra context that you rarely ever see: - "There are no bike lanes along that stretch of road"

ICYMI: In honor of Walk ’n Roll to School Day today, here’s my special profile of Denver’s Park Hill Elementary Bike Bus and Crossing Guard Experience featuring Liz Brodahl and Nicole McSpirit, respectively, that I released yesterday. @bikebusworld.bsky.social youtu.be/xlu8sCCQAFU

Still haven't seen it but now on Hulu...

Hey @islandpress.bsky.social... is it too late to put this on the back cover?

Nothing to sell, but I do cohost a podcast where @wesmars.bsky.social and I wonk out on all kinds of transportation topics — including car car bloat. Check it out: lookbothwayspod.podbean.com

"I wonder what longtime Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly thinks about kids using e-bikes." - Nobody

Wee!

No emergency that I could see; just parked there (for a long while) protecting & serving...

Bring them buttons back!

This sign at Bethpage Black, where the Ryder Cup is finishing up today, kinda looks like somebody tried to combine my book cover styling with the @lookbothwayspod.bsky.social podcast title...

I really don't hate John Forester, but I do hate how we traffic engineers let his nonsensical "research" dismantle our approach to safe bicycling infrastructure

My wife lands at an airport late last night expecting to pick up a regular-sized sedan and Avis gives her this... seriously.

Heavy on the victim blaming...

He's an expert... allegedly #DanPatrickShow

Makes me happy to see new work by Donald Shoup still coming out... he might be more like Tupac than Snoop Dogg www.emerald.com/books/edited-volume/17768/chapter-abstract/97269655/Eight-Parking-Reforms-to-Improve-Cities-and-Cool

Even the older cars are growing... www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/706600489091694/

I've been stopping at this great little restaurant to buy myself a breakfast burrito about once a week for the last decade as I bike to work. In the short time since Denver got rid of their minimum parking requirements, they turned about half of their old parking lot into outdoor seating...

In addition to all the fun @davidzipper.bsky.social and I have on the @lookbothwayspod.bsky.social, I also went on the @strongtowns.org podcast that came out today... www.podbean.com/ew/pb-khitc-1962fdc

Our autonomous future is upon us...

Is it a mystery because we don't yet know what the topic is? Or because we just can't quite explain it succinctly??
