NEW CONSTITUTION NEW CONSTITUTION

Update on this from Urban Turf: the site plan got better but the unit counts are still underwhelming. No retail in the multifamily buildings which seems odd considering surrounding density and lack of neighborhood-scale retail away from Wisconsin

Yeah this is something I struggle with. I want to support the work I like and am interested in (shoutout @defector.com @miketanier.bsky.social and @wtyppod.bsky.social in no particular order) but there’s only so many subscriptions/patreon subs I can fit in.

Technically, this would require a public input process, but we’ve all seen what happened to the East Wing of the White House. A little more info and how to get involved here: waba.org/2026/02/13/f...

We’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall in February, possibly as early as next week.

lol holy shit man

MDOT responds: after "a comprehensive traffic analysis of MD 355 to evaluate the impacts of bus priority treatments along the corridor," there will be a proposal for public comment that includes "locations & hours of operations for potential bus lanes" during the WMATA Red Line shutdown this summer.

it is apparently the 25th anniversary of the greatest piece of art Denton, Texas, has ever produced

truly tired of people using their tremendous wealth and influence to turn this county into a mausoleum for the living

“Hello we’re the CNU. We love to spend decades designing and building a neighborhood at transit/retail supporting densities and then place it 15 minutes away from any existing transit service or downtown”

Is it weird to add music to a simple drone video of Penn Station in the snow? Yes. Is it deeply pleasing to watch? Also yes.

DC has built one of the most successful bike networks in the country so of course the administration wants to strangle that progress and pretend it’s 1985

Update on this from the county exec’s proposed CIP budget—it looks like we might be getting bus lanes on 355! Also curious what sort of upgrades we’re getting to the existing Georgia Ave lanes.

Not going to say anything anyone else hasn’t already but this is fucking insane and obviously unconstitutional and should be a red line for every federally elected representative

Oh you hate Americans? Should we throw a party? Should we invite Creedence Clearwater Revival?

Post a car picture you took

good church

How it started: "Many Snohetta employees assumed that the firm would be open to a union because it had a reputation for being progressive and worker friendly." How it's going:

One story about National Harbor that really sums up its whole surreal, aliens-trying-to-design-a-human-city vibe: I used to go there a lot as a child in 2009-2010 when the whole thing was really on life support. The only retail offering I remember was a combo Mike and Ike’s/Peeps destination store.

National Harbor is wild bc it’s a semi failed suburban Towne Centre that PG Co packed with every urban revitalization silver bullet project trend of the last 30 years in a desperate attempt to get the thing to work

After looking at the renders again I realize I was wrong: it’s literally just the shape of the old RFK with columns slapped on the sides

Dumb bill title bacronyms are one of my favorite things in the world

The Pittsburgh busway system is so cool. I got to experience them a few years ago when I visited the city and it was a top tier transit experience for me

Today is Quintidi the 15th of Nivôse in the year 234. Nivôse is the month of snow. Today we celebrate the rabbit.#JacobinDay More information on the rabbit

Did the architect’s brother own a corbel store or something

Sometimes I think DDOT or MCDOT are bad and then I remember LADOT is currently in the middle of a multi-year tantrum where it is refusing to repair roads to avoid building sidewalks and bike lanes and local DOTs don’t seem so bad after all

oh brother, another bad post from political influencer beltway brian. i am furious at beltway brian all of the time. i share screencaps of beltway brian's posts with people who have no idea who he is. i hate all of beltway brian's posts and i read all of them every single day, including weekends

Excited to see one of the best modernist buildings in Memphis, the 1956 Rust Hall by Roy Harrover, under renovation to reopen in 2026 as the home of the National Ornamental Metal Museum!

Municipalities use environmental laws as a reason to block changes to the status quo and when push comes to shove they don’t matter. You cannot convince me otherwise.
