Cool Chicago life hack: I was seeking a very specific mounting bracket for a bike handlebar bag, found the file online for the part, and put in a request at the CPL Maker Lab with the link to the project files. They'll not only print it, but send it to my local branch for pickup.

Writing this one made me curious: if you are car-free or car-light, what percentage of your household income do you spend on transportation, and what privileges make that possible? I'll start: 2% total, aka one tenth of the average American, apparently. 🫣 usa.streetsblog.org/2024/03/…

So the fact that almost all of the folks who were present at the event were older, whiter & wealthier than their community is problematic both because these folks are leveraging their privilege to deny access to housing to others *AND* because they don’t reflect the community

I have written 4-6 articles a week for 4.5 years about why car domination is terrible, and yet this paper STILL surfaced a bunch of stuff I had never thought about before. Digest below, short thread of some of the most surprising ones in the🧵. usa.streetsblog.org/2024/03/…

All The Ways That Car Domination Harms Communities (Well, Almost All…) — Streetsblog USA

A new study seeks to quantify everything car culture costs us. Yet there are still more ways that auto-centrism hurts us all.

Really love this quote from @kevinmuhs about how to judge feedback. The city has goals to reduce reckless driving and make our streets safer. Feedback and suggestions that run counter to that shouldn't be heeded.

Glancing at Madison's 2023 Housing Snapshot Report. With all this talk of "missing middle" housing, I'm always struck by how few 2-4 unit buildings we approve. Basically none. We've got to make it cheaper and easier to build that stuff. huduser.gov/portal/sites/def…

Martin Luther King’s housing advocacy & legacy are tethered to the Fair Housing Act, which benefited individuals of all identities because it prohibited housing discrimination on the basis of not only race, but also religion, national origin, sex, & later ability & family status.

Sometimes hard to tell if pedestrians or cyclists are treated worse. I think it's pedestrians.

No one has ever explored these depths, for they are unknowable. Is it one inch? Six inches? Is there a foot-deep pothole lurking beneath? Hold your breath and leap.

Just a girl on crutches, standing in a fully plowed, mostly empty parking lot, looking at a completely snowed in bus stop, asking Brookfield to enforce their sidewalk snow-clearing policy.

IDK who needs to see this, but here's 21 states openly admitting that their planned highway projects will increase greenhouse gas emissions, in a legal filing challenging a federal rule that would require them to tell the public...literally that exact information.
