BTW, getting back to that commute, even though it was only 5-6 miles, it was absolutely hellish, because, even though it was a straight shot, it was along an arterial road (Springdale Road, if you are familiar with Cherry Hill, NJ), with absolutely ZERO accommodations for anything but motor vehicles.

It was this, all the way, but during rush hours. The worst kind of #stroad.

My Airbnb in #phoenix was 100ft (30 meters) from a convenience store/gas station.

But in typical Phoenix urbanism form, there was a huge wall and no sidewalks so 100ft ended up being 7 minute suburban walk along a 50mph stroad.

As I use transit more in order to be more active, I'm noticing more of these fragmented sidewalks next to stroads. It just seems lazy and makes you wonder why you'd build a sidewalk at all if you aren't gonna finish.

Good news: A major infill development for La Crosse is back on track.

Bad news: It's totally car-brained, with an emphasis on parking, no obvious safe route to the strip mall across the highway, and no built-in transit stop (in spite of four bus routes currently serving the neighborhood).

La Crosse's Kmart redevelopment back on track for summer start

The redevelopment of the old Kmart on State Road is back on track with the Copper Rocks project, set to start construction by June contingent on city council rezoning approval.

While stopping for a pedestrian in the crosswalk of a #stroad in our town in #rural #westernwashington, we got rear-ended.

The damage is enough that #insurance is going to total the car. It's already listed (by doing a VIN search) as totaled.

I am super sad. I know it's an old car - 2007 - & not valuable (200k miles). But it's in great shape, reliable, and shouldn't have to be scrapped. Ecologically, why does it have to be this way? Ughhhhhhhh
