NJ’s 2 biggest cities are ≈6mi apart, and connected by several bridges, all of which are highways, none of which are safely passable by foot, bike, or other mobility devices. @GovMurphy @Teepeea2Diane

The Brooklyn Bridge carries half as many people as it did in 1902, because personal automobiles are the worst way to move people

Street parking in JC is >99% subsidized: - avg market rate: $3,000 / year - residential permit: $20 / year 60,000 on-street spaces = $200MM/yr subsidy of car ownership. This is terrible policy / socializes costs of car ownership (Source: JC Parking Plan jerseycitynj.gov/residentres…)

Beyond embarrassing that the NJ Senate signed on to this bill, while NJ is experiencing a surge in traffic violence github.com/bikejc/njsp @mayorstack @SandraBCunningh you should be ashamed of this vote.

Citi Bike usage in JC+Hoboken has avg'd 23% annual growth for 6yrs ctbk.dev/#/?r=jh (Hoboken launched May 2021, shows demand for expansion of network) In JC alone, April 2021 to 2022 increased 62% Easy to miss cyclists bc they're smaller, quieter, & not stuck in traffic

Why parking is even worse than you thought. Cities around the world are abolishing parking requirements🚗🅿️. Toronto 🇨🇦 is just the latest. But why?!👇 Parking requirements - a thread🧵

Surprising insight that ebikes can actually be a lot safer. Haven't experienced this yet for myself but the math certainly checks out.

"It's also surprising how a little boost makes a big difference in your control and safety. Increasing your top speed from 15mph to 20mph means a car going 25mph passes you half as quickly and has twice as much time to "see you coming" as it comes up behind you."

Really nice review + thorough comparison of 4 styles of ebikes by @RunsAsCoded: ebikes.neighbor-ryan.org/ It's rare to see in-depth experience with several styles all next to each other and also centered in a Jersey City / NYC context.

"Bioswales vs street parking", Hamilton Park edition: • Example block: 120k sqft, home to 200ppl • Ringed by 42 parking spots • Convert 18 spots to bioswale ⟹ absorb 1.5" of rainfall over entire block 1.5" less flooding (+greenery) OR free car storage for <10% of residents?
Annotated satellite image showing 3 1500sqft strips of 6 parking spots (around the edge of a 120,000 sqft block in Hamilton Park) that, if converted to bioswale, could absorb 1.5" of water over the entire block.

Woeful #bikenyc trip on 59th Street from 6th Ave to QBB tonight. Started taping at Plaza Hotel. I passed 200 cars, buses, trucks that were hardly moving. The city is absolutely broken. This transportation system DOES! NOT! WORK! Blocked crosswalks. Danger. Chaos. Gridlock.
