How do we protect our city from cars? #carsruincities

"We estimate that 36 percent of Americans over the age of 10 do not or cannot rely on a personal vehicle to meet their daily travel needs..."

“The e-bike market is skyrocketing — and, according to some studies, outpacing electric cars…The question now is: Do officials double down on deadly car-centric urban design, or do they rethink cities to encourage people to ditch four wheels for two?” Via @grist.org grist.org/transportati...

It's one thing to talk about the 1 in 20 Americans who live in households without cars. But it's another to talk about all the people who live in households with fewer cars than people who need to drive to participate in an autocentric society, particularly kids, elders, and people w/disabilities.

How do we protect our city and children from cars? #carsruincities

Reminder when lobbyists told us we couldn't get things like a new terminal or more flights without selling the airport?

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...

St. Louis also has another #WeekWithoutDriving opportunity on Sunday. During the Gravois Walk Audit, trash and overgrown landscaping were mentioned on every single feedback form. We’re going to make Gravois a better and cleaner place to walk or wait for a bus. Join us! bit.ly/GravoisCleanup

Mayor signs bill easing requirements on ‘mother-in-law suites’ as housing push continues

The before/after is remarkable. This is what we mean when we say "Life After Cars."

It was a privilege to stand with my colleagues for the signing of Board Bill 60, a landmark measure legalizing accessory dwelling units across the City. A special thanks to Alderwoman Clark Hubbard, whose years of hard work got this bill across the finish line.

My annual report- My bus still sucks with 1 hr frequency and the route still ruined. The Metrolink gates suck and are demeaning. This atrocious bus stop, among many, endures 7 years after the construction that moved it finished. Homicidal drivers still run rampant.

Stroads are dangerous by design

"will be reducing the number of traffic lanes from two in each direction to one. Bike lanes and dedicated left turn-lanes are also part of the plan. The posted speed limit through that area of Old Halls Ferry is 35 mph. A one-week traffic study found 140 drivers were traveling at more than 70

“The city is working to reclaim some of these vacant properties and buildings. A spokesperson for the SLDC says the organization is in the process of negotiating with McKee on a settlement value for the properties he owns within the area covered by the blighting/redev plan that Aldridge helped pass”

Cities make America great

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Even more confused now - "The vacated area will be used to consolidate property for construction of an athletic field and future stadium."

$1.1B! #Stlbillion2025

I wanted to see the progress myself around the NGA. Cass is being repaved just around the NGA for its ribbon cutting. The sidewalks across the street are missing at best. A public road is closed because it goes past McKee’s failed “hospital” and its 4 security vehicles, and nature has taken over.

"Business owners — who often drive themselves — consistently overestimate the share of their customer base who arrive by car, often by enormous margins." streets.mn/2025/09/24/c...

a total failure at every level - a mountain of our tax money was transferred to bullshit consultants, with zero results

Note they're talking about the iconic building at the corner of Fountain Park that the owner neglected for 20 years that the city tried to stabilize.

The move by Metro Transit comes five months after Mayor Cara Spencer wanted proof that the $1.1 billion project could win federal support.

yeah we're in the number 1 spot right now and without this thing that brings 4 jobs to midtown we're going to fall behind

Historic corner storefronts demolished for QuikTrips in St. Louis. In 2 cases, it was just so QT could relocate to a larger footprint than their existing nearby location.

For those of us who care about the blight of QT, please at least strive to NEVER give them your business. You can get that 2-gallon sippy-cup somewhere else.

It makes no sense. And in the future, they’ll use it to justify why there can’t be smart development or traffic calming nearby, because the QT will be a blight. Just like at Jefferson and Chouteau.

I have a major piece in Bloomberg Citylab today. Should the US let transit fail, as Pennsylvania is already doing? And if not, what are the arguments we need to let it succeed? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
