Linnea Goderstad speaking in support of #HF2140 at the House Housing Committee today: "Attached homes like ours, along with triplexes and fourplexes, that #HFF2140 legalizes, are more accessible than single-family homes." @moreneighbors.org @sierraclubmn.bsky.social

The first thing I was taught in my Wilderness first responder course was to check for scene safety before approaching a patient. Ambulance drivers are forced into unsafe situations every time they are called to action. This is not ok. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Heard a great maxim when it comes to designing streets. "It's better to put cars in bodyshops than people in bodybags." Traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures may increase minor vehicle crashes, but will reduce fatalities. A tradeoff that is well worth it.

Some people can’t ride a bike!!! Actually this is true. Despite being a "gotcha" on Twitter. Also true: - Some people can’t take transit. - Some people can’t walk. - Some people can’t drive. That’s why we need safe and practical options for everyone. More: davethompsonvictoria.ca/ocp-update-s...

Car dependency has been so normalized that most people don't know that putting a child into a car is more dangerous than putting them on a bike. In fact, car trips are the most dangerous activity that most children partake in.

I rode my fat bike on the Minnehaha creek yesterday, such a rare and special Minnesota treat! Unfortunately there are many areas where the creek goes under busy roads and there's lots of litter. Found birthday decorations and unserved bus stop 6501. Maybe a memorial, but no info on Minnesota DPS.

The opportunity for i94 to be reimagined as a corridor that BEST serves those who live along it was a chance for the institutions to prove their worth. That it was nixed by faceless bureaucrats due to an outdated methodology is a travesty. Institutions are killing public faith exponentially.

I don't think I haven't yet reposted this when it comes up. My work to office by car is ~15km via major roads (all 4 lanes or more). I can not get to my office via shared pedestrian & bicycle infra, let alone bicycle only infra. Best I can do is 19km of which much is narrow shared infrastructure.
