law enforcement officer parked on the sidewalk on scott says there's nothing in the law that says he can't park his vehicle there (not a cop car). is this true?

This sidewalk is still closed, 2 months later. We are not a serious city. @claycapp.bsky.social @freddieoconnell.bsky.social @nashvilledot.bsky.social

there are still bike lanes + sidewalks + roads that are dodgy. am i wrong to assume that the people who run snow plows are not also doubling as linesman? if so, why did we stop plowing? i'm guessing it was only needed for the first few days. certainly making it challenging to choose how you move.

City transportation official opts for white line and signage instead of gate to keep their baby off the stairs.

our daycare will be open monday. huuuuge weight off my shoulders.

10 years ago when we had that heavy snow, I was scheduled to do my first portrait shoot for the NY Times. I knew there was no way I could get over to Green Hills in our little Prius, but the client offered to come pick me up. That day will always stick with me - the day I spent with John Prine.

AT&T saying the next available appointment to fix my internet is next Tuesday February 3rd. Cool.

gotta love at&t making me do a bunch of troubleshooting on my internet connection before i can schedule an appointment. my dude, i can see the fiber line laying in my yard.

trees and branches falling all around is the longest game of russian roulette

honestly wish i had snow tires for my bike. this would be so fun.

☠️MORTIFYING CHRISTMAS STORY TIME Ahead of the big day tomorrow, here’s the story of The Worst Thing That Ever Happened At Christmas. A few years ago, the two of us were invited to a communal Xmas dinner at a friend’s house, where all the guests were to bring different Xmas dinner components. 1/

The U.S. has normalized road fatilities. 40,000 killed each year—the equivalent of 110 jumbo jets crashing—and we just think it ia normal. We build our cities and towns for dumbass trucks and SUVs rather than kids and families, and call it "freedom."

there's never a good time to have to climb in your attic, but the least bad time is winter.

i like that the speed limit was lowered on gallatin, but i question how effective it will be without actual infrastructure changes to clue drivers in.

When mad drivers tell you that you, a cyclist, don't belong on roads because you don't pay registration and the gas tax, show them the Road Damage Calculator. Compare, for example, the damage made by a small SUV and a longtail cargo e-bike. Very different orders of magnitude roaddamagecalculator.com

the kids let us sleep in this morning. 8:30am. glorious.

I’m hearing from fellow parents that ICE was spotted this morning patrolling through Inglewood on Kennedy and outside Dan Mills Elementary School around drop off. MNPS needs to be ready for what’s about to happen

apparently a church on scott near otay is on fire. smoke in our house woke me up in a panic. wife could see flames.

took the lane on gallatin running yesterday in front of the new whataburger. disgusting that we allow developers to destroy the sidewalk without fixing it the next day or something. in montreal if this was the case, they'd mark off the right lane as a sidewalk until the sidewalk is open again.

in light of the titans season have we considered renaming victory avenue to something less offensive? (some joke about the titans offense being less offensive).

all of the flex posts separating drivers from bikers on greenfield have been broken. this not only justifies their placement, but also points to the need of something more... concrete. @emilyfor7.bsky.social @nashvilledot.bsky.social

Sometimes I just turn on music while I'm doing dishes and turn around to see this. Life is good.

I built a playlist for the background at your parents place. Music is a great distraction from political talk. And they're good tunes! kdr5.substack.com/p/a-thanksgi...

Paging @nashvilledot.bsky.social. Do better.

Nice morning for a brisk walk and a hub request for a government vehicle parked on the sidewalk.

"But what about all the motorcycle noise??? And traffic and parking are already so bad. And we want to save this record store that is being closed for totally unrelated reasons and is closing regardless."

i want to formally request a striped crosswalk at scott crossing cahal. there's no pedestrian crossing anywhere between gallatin and riverside - a little over a mile. any tips for dealing with the frustration and heartache of @nashvilledot.bsky.social ignoring or denying my request repeatedly?

People losing their shit on Facebook about a daylighted intersection at 11th and Holly is making my morning.

i get contractors having to mark off streets that they're working on, but Google Fiber having a truck parked and blocking the entire sidewalk on Scott when the work they're doing is actually on Belle Forrest Ave seems pretty unreasonable. @hubnashville.bsky.social

the "improperly parked vehicles" @hubnashville.bsky.social form has gotten longer, i think? one more hindrance to using it.

always fun to swing out into traffic with kids on the bike on riverside. 4th time this week? new builds right by ladybird. reported on @hubnashville.bsky.social but not expecting any positive feedback @emilyfor7.bsky.social @freddieoconnell.bsky.social @mayor.nashville.gov @nashvilledot.bsky.social

how many "accidents" do you think we'll see in Nashville with this for this morning?

Trunk or treat is just another example of how cars ruin childhood.

"Nice parking spot!" I yelled to the Amazon Delivery Driver, who took it as a compliment, as I swung around his van in the bike lane and into traffic with my son on the back of my bike.

Both of these vehicles brought one kid to daycare today.

I want a Daniel Tiger episode where he learns about induced demand and the true price of free parking and the song that plays throughout is "Cars ruin cities, yes they do, it's true".

@adam232.bsky.social curious which adam from goshen you are... my hometown.

I love our Nashville cargo bike community meetups.

Bikes: the undisputed best way to get to youth soccer games. They can even provide shade!

The Stratford high school marching band was our morning escort for Walk to School Day! If only every day we were this aware that walking is awesome. @walkbikenashville.bsky.social

Biked to two soccer games and a wedding yesterday. Good day.

PSA: @handlestash.bsky.social cupholders are excellent for the kiddos on the back of the bike. More importantly: they fit a full size takeout container full of curry. @initialcapacity.io FTW

saw a car clock 53 on one of the cahal speed signs today. i wish the city would take racetrack roads like that one seriously.

Not many people know that Rainman took a bunch of Tylenol at the beginning of the film.
