Wow. Paris just voted to triple the parking costs for SUVs.

A huge victory in the fight against car bloat.

DIRECT. Votation sur le stationnement des SUV à Paris: une centaine de votants dans le 8e arrondissement

Les Parisiens sont appelés à se prononcer dimanche à l'occasion d'une votation proposant le triplement des tarifs de stationnement pour les voitures hautes et lourdes dites SUV, sans convaincre opposants et automobilistes qui crient à la "manipulation".

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and better public transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better.

The traffic got BETTER.

9-foot travel lanes are often safer than 10- and 12-foot lanes, but state DOTs, local regulations and the FHWA “Green Book” design guidelines get in the way of making our streets safer

Starbucks has a timer on the drive though, but not for customers inside. Drive throughs are a bad idea for many reasons, not just urban planning. Can we incentivize inside customers and de-incentivize drive throughs?

Imagine the nearly $14 billion that went to subsidize EV and battery factories in 2022 (in the U.S.) alone would used to create the same amount of investments in public transit instead.

If your vehicle is an off-road vehicle, or has a package specifically for off-road use, can we make it illegal to use on-road? You can use it on your private trails all you want, but an off-road design makes it incompatible with on-road vehicles or other smaller mobility devices or pedestrians.

We were excited to #vote NO today! There were tons of people out voting—there were lines all day from what folks working at the polls said—and everyone seemed to be voting NO! #VoteNoInAugust #Ohio #OnePersonOneVote

This is the worst response I've seen so far to a 311 request (received by a friend). While I applaud the realistic assessment that simply putting up a lower speed limit sign won't change the driving speeds, this response is completely unacceptable. It does not respond to the request of a crosswalk at all. And, because this is a dense residential neighborhood, not lowering the speed limit is not an option. If a sign is not enough, then the street design needs to change.
