Oh, man, I want to be thanked for my advocacy when we have a win for safe and sustainable transportation in Arlington Or I'd just like a big win for safe & sustainable transportation in Arlington

New episode up! We talked with researcher Tim Gill about how we need to make our cities safe for children, not cars. "Children are basically living very captive and kind of contained lives, and that's just not healthy." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Spoiler alert: @arlingtondes.bsky.social 's proposed designs do little to make the bike boulevards safer and do almost nothing to connect the blvds to the Pike susmo.org/columbia-pik... makes it easier to speak up and demand better

Excited to talk HAPPY WHEELS tonight. 7pm on Zoom bit.ly/48ude1M

Get an eBike Work out to build muscle

Are there any good resources for principles to guide development of a transportation network by mode Or what principles would you suggest?

You know what's better than assigning a priority mode for a single street? Thinking through what a transportation network needs to look like to be useful, and then figuring how our streets can make that network happen. These maps make it clear that street-firat planning doesn't get you a network

Dear Arlington Nobody wants this #GettingPassedByABusInAnUnprotectedBikeLaneSucks #PaintIsNotProtection @arlingtondes.bsky.social @maureencoffeyva.bsky.social @takiskarantonis.bsky.social

1st pic is my 10 yo saving a penalty kick in the finals of a soccer tournament 2nd pic is in the ER getting treatment for respiratory failure 3 days later, which is as scary as it sounds He's home now, but it was terrible. We can't play politics with the CDC. Call your Congressman

It's that time of year again, welcome back to school kiddos! This week we're going to address Toronto's back to school/micro mobility campaign & ask that they direct all available resources at dangerous drivers who cause hundreds of serious injuries & deaths each year in TO. 📷 @tomflood.bsky.social

We need child-safe traffic – not traffic-safe children.

This is amazing

Hooray for @wmata.com for making it possible to make one game of our kid's soccer tournament, then pop back to Arlington for weekend fun But also, less hooray for Reston for the walk to the Metro being this asphalt hellscape (Metro is the brown building at the base of the tallest building)

Fun fact: it is possible to bike to TJHSST (And from there to Williamsburg and back to Cherrydale). Happy first day of school, Fairfax County Public Schools!

Getting a kid back just in time for the start of school!

For kids biking to middle school, which do you send them on: A) paved trail that is not well maintained, very steep & through dense forest (brown below) B) parking lot & neighborhood streets, well maintain, also steep medium level of traffic (blue below)? Bluemont Park in Arlington VA

Ok Internet - with or without the frame?

@arlingtondes.bsky.social - is @wmata.com supposed to be taking down signs for the ART 55 (( which is still running) when they remove signs for the WMATA 3Y (RIP)? Cause that's what they seem to be doing today

Also, when can we thank Alexi Lalas for his service and have him not call soccer games. At least women's soccer should be a safe space @nbcsportsoccer.bsky.social

The Spanish team is flopping like they're men

It's been a journey, but very happy to be coming home via Metro Thanks @wmata.com ! @wmatagm.bsky.social

When public spaces aren't dominated by cars, magic happens @arlingtondes.bsky.social @susanforarlington.bsky.social @jdspainsr.bsky.social @takiskarantonis.bsky.social @maureencoffeyva.bsky.social (Note cars can drive on this street if needed, but they are guests - have to go slow, can't park)

This is basically an ad, put out by the city of Konstanz, Germany, for bike bus/biking to school. "Climate-friendly for the schools Going somewhere with your best friends? There's no better way to start the day!" 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 #bikebus #bicibus @coachbalto.bsky.social

Where am I now? #carmensandiego

Tfw you're walking through an exhibit on techno/dance clubs in Europe in the 1990s with your 14 year old, and you realize there's a non-zero chance you'll be in one of the photos/videos, having spent the better part of 1998/99 in those clubs...

Just today, my 12 year old, who uses the W&OD Trail to bike to school through this intersection, said "this place is better than Arlington because drivers actually stop for crosswalks" This design is not safe enough for kids using the trail, and therefore is not acceptable

This is a test

Where am I now? (This one is completely unfair. But I'll take the country and which quarter of the country) #carmensandiego

Gondola now!

I have thoughts

My first #carmensandiego post. Hoping others will start to play (and include the hashtag)

My kid asked if we can find other posts and guess where other people are. Is there a hashtag? If not, can we make #carmensandiego happen?

Where in the world am I now?

Who wants to play "Where in the world am I?" game?
