Work to lay the ground work for a interior New England Rail Network continues at pace (albeit a slow pace) A major component? A total reworking and restoration of Springfield Union Station from its current operationally decrepit state

Save our lakes. Say no to NIMBY development

better late than never train gotta train

I’m far from the first person to note this, but it’s so striking how for hundreds of years American artists have looked to one of two settings for inspiration: our cities and our countryside Nothing about the generic suburbs of America, where most people live!

this is the Purge of online discourse. for the next 15.5 hours, all takes are legal

Networked district geothermal coming to CT, great stuff from New Haven here! This is the future, the governor foolishly killed a similar project in Hartford recently ctmirror.org/2026/02/22/c...

Je m'énerve tout seul, comme un vieux con, mais j'en ai vraiment ras le bol de voir des chauffeurs livreurs stationnés sur des passages piétons : ça démultiplie les risques d'accidents pour les piétons ! 😤 #CyclisteUrbain #GCUM

A dozen trees have been planted in the former dead-end parking street.

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

Contact the CT DOT to demand that they adhere to their own Complete Streets directive. Ask for connected sidewalks, marked crosswalks, walk signals, fewer lanes, and lower speed limits. survey123.arcgis.com/share/b6754b...

Relying on the property tax is wildly regressive, especially for cities like Hartford that host so many tax-free spaces (gov/college/hospital/etc) Tax the rich, tax capital gains, fully fund ECS and PILOT, distribute the cash to municipalities www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

you can't make this shit up🤡 these people are EXHAUSTING

the Enshittification of the personal vehicle

Some exciting news from the Commissioner yesterday: DOT is rethinking train schedules for SLE, HTD & MNR lines to go beyond the old 9–5 commute. Mentions taking a “clean slate” look at equipment, slots, and what service could look like if we were starting "from scratch" CT on the right track🚆

40 degrees today?! 40 DEGREES TODAY!!!

Hartford city council moved a resolution calling traffic violence “a public health crisis.” Compelling testimony from advocates and victim families www.youtube.com/live/N28s-44...

Always impressed by Hartford City Hall

This type of walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in almost all of Connecticut

listening to the leader of a major party in CT talking about wanting to do a Cost benefit analysis for free school breakfast for CHILDREN shows how evil and distorted these "people" are❗️ CTGOP is nothing more than a satanic cult

A low-slung commercial building turns into 143 homes over shops in Austin.

Daily reminder that the primary benefit of railway electrification is not to reduce railway emissions. It is to enable faster acceleration which reduces travel time and thereby increases frequency without adding operating cost. That then attracts more riders and thereby more revenue.

To me the thing that makes Fairfield County restaurants so mediocre is that you’re getting charged NYC prices ($15+ cocktails, $35+ mains) but instead of being on some charming street or in some cute building you’re spending $200 to be in the tackiest strip mall parking lot 😂

Larry Pemberton Jr. was sworn into the Connecticut House of Representatives today. A member of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation, the Democrat representing a district including parts of Ledyard, Norwich and Montville becomes the first Native American elected to Connecticut’s General Assembly.

Mayor Wu on updates to the world cup, state control over the city on housing and taxes youtu.be/xBzpXFPee8U?...

let's not forget that Yale police sent this out post 2020

In many countries in Europe (France – see vent at top below – and the Netherlands come to mind), they install “trickle vents” to ventilate continuously in small doses throughout the day. In the US, our windows are so leaky and poorly installed that it generally isn’t necessary.

spotted this guerilla transit sign while visiting Philly over the weekend💥

Connecticut Courts have done this, we should absolutely have this statewide. Sidewalks and roads are owned by the state (or towns but that's the same thing). If we can unmask them in state court buildings, we should be able to unmask them on state owned roads (CC: @bobduffct.bsky.social)

A hallmark of the Lamont era is the governor’s willingness to arbitrarily intervene—often at the end of a long process involving experts and testimony—on behalf of Fairfield County. Tolls, the 5002 veto, Marissa Gillette/PURA, the siting council…you really see a governor bumbling issue to issue.

It was @volts.wtf who made the point, if you want good things to happen in America elect Democrats to office Sadly, this level of vigor and fight is completely foreign to the current Connecticut Democratic party and our pathetic Governor

Except commuter rail. The LIRR and Metro-North are actually part of the problem. $243.50 for a monthly pass to get from Yonkers to Grand Central, and then another $120+ a month in subway rides to get beyond Grand Central really is an affordability problem.
