If there is plenty of free on-street parking, then the free-market was working properly.

The way things are going, US will enact an optional $1000 “anti-deportation” Visa fee for tourists that want added safeguards against kidnapping.

Somehow I suspect parking was not the actual concern, but just an excuse to prevent a facility for mentally ill from being built in the neighborhood. These types of zoning regulations often get weaponized in this way.

But what if I’m searching flights through a search tool like Kayak? I’m not logged in for that, and possibly using a VPN.

The curb doesn’t protect shit. It’s only purpose is for drainage.

Median income for seniors is less than 50k, and higher for the other age groups (except perhaps the under 30). So the result for the lowest income group may be just further confirmation of boomers opposing car-free projects.

The camp already got the cell phone alert. What possible difference would the siren make?

For any bike lane project, no matter how well designed, there will always be that one vehicular cyclist type spouting a lot of nonsense. Of course the TV news features that one person, not the professional transport planners nor the multitudes of cyclists in support of the project. Not every news story needs to have two sides.

(Also, the bike lane is wider than 4’.)

16mph is the limitation in germany.

In my experience, a typical bike-friendly city in Germany will have 30 km/h limit for cars anyway (18 mph). NYC “official” speed limit is 25mph.

The siren system was shut down because the technology was unreliable and giving out way too many false alarms – to the point where the residents were just ignoring it. It is a difficult problem because you need to give enough possible advance warning to evacuate, but not so much that they start tuning it out altogether. Even modern first-world countries struggle with this.

Yeah, much better for old uncoordinated people to go back to using cars.

The people signing this petition are also opposed to road redesigns, particularly ones involving road diets.

Maybe put in some proper bike lanes so riders don’t feel they need to ride on the sidewalk? 🤔

Texas can spend all the money in the world on disaster preparedness, but it won’t matter if Camp Staff has their cell phones and weather radios switched off.

“They don’t have my address. I falsified my renewal. I put down 1060 West Addison.”

Not surprising that the rate of driver non-compliance was found to be 15% – because that is the number traffic engineers shoot for. For example, when a traffic survey finds more than 15% drivers are exceeding the speed limit then the speed limit gets raised. Similarly, if enough drivers are observed running a red light, then the yellow time gets extended. Or if drivers aren’t yielding at a crosswalk, then the crosswalk is removed.

By contrast, if a large number of cyclists are observed running a stop sign on a quiet street then the local police conducts a sting operation…

Agents are granted by federal law the ability to stop and question people within 100 miles (161 kilometers) of the border

They can, but nobody is required to answer any questions they ask.

He was re-appointed today.

But note this is just a toothless advisory committee, so in the end it really doesn’t matter.

It is spite coding though.

He probably has a bunch of gotos too.

Looking at Google streetview, this is a classic overbuilt multilane stroad with 40mph speed limit. Which means the city could have had both the parking spaces and a bike lane (parking protected even!) while only losing one auto lane per direction. Such a configuration would also fix the speeding issue.
