2. This same plot, but with 3 panels where, in addition to Idea 1, panels 2 is #zoning in SFH lots (R200 maybe?) and 3 is all non-SFH lots.
The objective would be to illustrate the way that SFH lots near transit are unimproved relative to their potential and that #LVT would raise money from the places where the most tax money is spent on expensive infrastructure.
I wonder if there are statistics on the money #MDOT spends on all roads, or how much metro stations cost to operate.
MDOT is trying to sneak in a rule that will limit protests. We need to tell them no.

Hard no on this one. MDOT facilities are public spaces.
"A slate of proposed regulations put forth by the Michigan Department of Transportation have activists and political advocacy groups up in arms, as the department mulls broad restrictions on political activity at its facilities, with criminal penalties for those who stray from the rules.โ
"Among the affected areas would be rest areas, as well as bridges and overpassesโฆโ

So, it looks like #MDOT hired someone to take down the two #GreenAsh trees down the road from us (that were infested with #EmeraldAshBorer ). Whoever took them down knew what they were doing. Nothing but a bit of the stumps left. As for the ash trees down the road the other way? I think they belong to the neighbors who have been having domestic issues lately.
What's on my mind? Why #SmilingHillFarm! And yeah, I suspect #MTA / #MDOT is going to try and build the #GorhamConnector again, since the bill to kill the connector failed. I heard the new Maine Turnpike Authority director on WMPG earlier today. It sounds like they are going to have MDOT push the connector through -- rather than build #LightRail or a #RapidTransitBusSystem or safer #BikeLanes! smh...
#Maine - Bill to kill Gorham Connector crashes in committee
PORTLAND PRESS HERALD โข May 8, 2025
"A bill that would ensure the controversial Gorham Connector proposal is dead was soundly rejected by the Legislatureโs transportation committee this week. LD 1020 would repeal 2017 legislation that directed the Maine Turnpike Authority to plan and build a toll highway extension from South Portland, through Scarborough and Westbrook, to Gorham. The bill follows the authorityโs announcement in March that it enlisted the Maine Department of Transportation to consider alternative solutions to commuter traffic congestion west of Portland. Neither agency has said the connector proposal has been dropped entirely."
