Children haven’t changed in the past 100 years, but our attitudes about their ability to be independent have.

 

Rochester, NY, made the decision to undo a past harmful highway project. Here are the challenges they faced—and the rewards they’ve seen since freeing up that valuable land for development.

 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has proposed a substantial set of reforms to enable incremental and missing-middle housing solutions and add 100,000 new housing units to the city.

 

"After a road diet, all motorists seem to drive at a rate that feels comfortable to a mildly-impaired older adult."

Like many other places around the U.S., Philadelphia is facing school bus driver shortages and bus scheduling issues. Its solution? Offer $300 per month to families that drive their children to school.

 

Portland’s “bike bus” swept headlines last year, showcasing how biking can be a safe, viable, and fun way to commute to class. Here are similar efforts being spearheaded by Local Conversation groups.

Worth noting that there is a huge difference between being hit at 20 or 40 mph. This study showed risk of severe injury of 25% at 23mph vs 75% at 39mph and risk of death of 10% at 23mph and 50% at 42mph. There is also the impact zone/characteristics, F150 with the tall & flat front will be much more dangerous in an impact than if it had a shorter height and was sloped which could roll someone over the hood. And other considerations like trucks are heavier and have worse visibility. But I agree stopping speed isn't the end all be all for road safety, but one factor of many that need to be taken into account.

 

Speed cameras are not even part of a solution to street safety. They are a dead end.

 

Drivers tend to unconsciously regulate their speed based on visual cues. By taking some simple steps to narrow a street visually, we can make it less dangerous.

 

Buses are great, but not if the surrounding infrastructure doesn’t support people getting to their bus stop on foot.

 

If your city is doing a street reconstruction project that involves replacing the curb, then don’t miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do a something majorly transformative…by simply moving the curb.

 

Taking away a lane for cars to create a dedicated bus lane made for faster commutes for everyone, thanks to faster, more reliable service on one of the region's busiest bus routes.

Just wish there were more connections there, east to SJ and West. From where I am would have 3 different trains to get there.

You could use the Steam link app on your phone and basically any Bluetooth controller.

Got a bidet as a joke gift for Christmas a few years ago, it has been an absolute game changer. Hate pooping anywhere but home now, I actually feel clean, and use much less toilet paper.

His mastodon page is only saying he has 5 posts for me.

If I understand right, posts are only synced from the point someone on your same server subscribed to them? So you aren’t seeing his posts on mastodon, you are seeing his posts that have been synced to your instance.

CS2 Feature Highlights
CS2 Dev Highlights

They have videos on the road building tools, and from what we have seen so far road building will be much better than CS1.

Recycle is the last part of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle". Recycling shouldn't be the primary thought in designing around plastic/other materials. The primary design goal should be to eliminate or minimize the amount used.

Haven’t heard that before, will need to look into it. Big one I’ve heard is CAFE standards (fuel economy) are more lenient for light trucks vs passenger cars. I think this was mainly for shipping/work vehicles, but companies took advantage to sell bigger cars for better profit.

The same people who wish it was safer for their kids to walk to school if it wasn’t for all those other dangerous drivers and SUVs. Also SUVs are more likely to run over your own kid in the driveway due to worse visibility if I recall correctly.
