25% of the water+BES budget also goes to cars 🙃 (stormwater)

"Reduced posted speeds on eleven (11) miles of streets" 😒 not even one mile for every six fatal crash victims.

And then Clark softballing the question like potholes create themselves 🙄 #fuckCars

Zimmerman "all public works should be under the same hood" 🤨 pointy white hood, or car hood? (Is there a difference.)

straight from the mouths of #trafficEngineers, making cars go fast enough to kill you is expensive #VisionZero

why are we going to work so hard to be creative in funding the speed of cars but not able to be creative in slowing them down?

@steter update says Naito work was postponed until at least March to allow for county work around Burnside Bridge. #pdxBikes

@skinnylatte you left out the drivers who think you're just one more car in front of them at the signal or taking their free parking at the local shops. I think most yimbys are pro immigrant though. Now if only we could use a voting method that supported more than two sides (STAR or Approval, or a few ranked methods that aren't IRV/STV)

"For the first time in ten years, emergency response times for firefighters in #Paris have fallen to below seven minutes.

A key reason? Because the French capital's network of new cycle lanes are also wide enough for use by emergency services."

@mirabilos @slothrop there's not going to be a brushless DC motor controller without electronic circuitry and firmware/software switching the voltage to control speed and torque. It's a rather active process of switching the magnetic fields that would be tedious to build in transistors alone vs some microcontroller chips and firmware. Most of what's terrible about software is when you can't see inside or change it.

car supremacy is when you put a speed bump on the bikeway but not the street.

You guys are still running windows?

Correction: that is lower than 30% women in #Portland (of people on bikes) and it drops to 18% in east Portland! A key factor that changes this is #ProtectedBikeLanes / #BanCars from the bike lanes at least. "We need to be doing a lot more very wide spaces for people on bikes."
