New #15MinuteCity blog post! #Cleveland is working to remake itself using 15-minute city principles. #15minutecity #walkablecities #TheLand 15minutecity.com/blog/clevel…
Why take 15 minutes when you can take 15 hours?
Effective today, we are pivoting to focus our efforts on the #15HourCity, which "represents what we think are all the best qualities of a modern city: a lack of social connections [and] a profound sense of alienation." @mcsweeneys @thedevinwallace #freedom mcsweeneys.net/articles/intr…

Downtown San Francisco is set to lose another treasured small business as the 32-year old Alexander Book Company prepares to close.
Fans likely have until the end of April to say goodbye to the beloved bookstore. Meanwhile, all books are 25% off. sfstandard.com/arts-culture/…
New #15MinuteCity blog post! #VisionZero could be the “keystone habit” for reimagining our transportation systems and transforming our cities. #safestreets #walkablecities #keystonehabits 15minutecity.com/blog/vision…
Not only does @SecretaryPete nail the #induceddemand definition, he gives a shout-out to @VolpeUSDOT, where I worked during grad school! #transportnerd

As I straddle Twitter and #Mastodon, I run across this gem from @NilsWeisensee: “…the Fediverse’s decentralized approach to content moderation is infinitely better suited to the complexities of civil liberties and free speech than any centralized ‘super app’ can ever be." 1/2
Lots for Californians to vote on this November, and as always a fair amount of misinformation to battle. Here’s a great @TransForm_Alert blog post by my friend Stuart Cohen on the real origin story behind #Prop30. #Yeson30 transformca.org/post/not-a-c…

Not my normal subject matter, but as a #statsnerd I’m amazed at the NFL’s parity after 4 weeks. Team won-loss records are distributed even more tightly than if every game’s outcome were determined by a coin flip. (Image credit: WSCA News) #NFLparity 1/3
If all games were a 50/50 coin flip you’d expect (on average) two winless teams and two undefeated teams after 4 games. But we have only one winless team and one undefeated team. 2/3
A relatively rare San Francisco example of a raised crosswalk, crossing Birch Street along Laguna in Hayes Valley. Raised crosswalks slow down vehicles by sending the message that this is the pedestrian’s “turf” #streetdesign #seenonmyride Photo credit: me 1/3
Birch Street itself is alley-width, with the new 555 Fulton condos on the left and 2- to 4-story older buildings on the right, but it still gives off a bit of that “cars are in charge here” vibe. #alleysofSF Photo credit: me 2/3
As a postscript: the saga of the scandal-plagued 555 Fulton project is too long and too ugly to recap here; for the full story track down @SFJKDineen and buy him a beer. 3/3
Please join me in signing this @KidSafeSF petition to urge @SFMTA_Muni to pilot a better plan for Valencia St. actionnetwork.org/petitions/…
Let's pilot the Burrito Plan on Valencia! This whole thread is great but here's the best bit: "It's the job of planners and city leaders to prioritize according to our values, not just try to cram everything into one street design that serves all those needs terribly."

#AB2097 supports the growth of compact, walkable communities in California. #sustainablecities #walkablecities
Excellent Editorial from @latimesopinion: California's backward laws prioritize housing cars over people. Let's fix that. Call on @GavinNewsom to sign #AB2097 latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
SF, San Diego, Emeryville, Oakland, Sacto, and Berkeley have all reduced or eliminated parking minimums near transit. Sign #AB2097 into law to expand this statewide, Governor @GavinNewsom. Great OpEd by @MichaelManvill6 and @zack_subin in @sfchronicle 1/2 sfchronicle.com/opinion/open…
