Consultation on these schemes is a just means to further entrench the inequality of the status quo.

Most of these violations were recorded around the corner from where I live, on a street my kids need to cross - with no pedestrian crossing - every day to catch the bus to school. The danger these drivers represent can and should be drastically reduced through infrastructural intervention.

Quite.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Really enjoyed this conversation.

I'll never forget @humzayousaf.bsky.social's ethical conduct in the fall of 2023, how it showed what was possible, and how starkly it contrasted with Starmer, Trudeau, Biden, von der Leyen, and the entire Western liberal establishment's comfort-level with genocide.

It’s actually happening. Ford is set to rip the Bloor bike lane out tomorrow. Lets get every person on a bike in the GTA out for this. Tuesday Oct 13th. 5pm. Tom Riley Park

To anyone who gets around Birmingham without a car, this is in no way shocking and did not require AI to report something aleady so obvious.

“Infrastructure is important for creating safe, connected, cohesive networks, but we also need to help push culture along by showing what’s possible.”

A couple of drivers have treated this island as their personal parking space for years but no more. Well done @coventrycc.bsky.social

A traffic island with 25 new bollards to stop drivers parking on it.

Heat pumps *are* defense spending. They cut our reliance on gas, and so weaken Russia.

I also can't believe more local authorities around the world aren't inspired to replicate San Francisco's fantastic Great Highway transformation in their own cities.

Imagine being an MP presiding over a place where this was happening, and choosing to never say anything about it ever while instead going on about small boats and people protesting against genocide.

Next year's must-read.

What a grim and shameful record.

Colonial car culture.

Here in Birmingham, those canisters are strewn across the city, and drivers can be seen openly using baloons on any number of streets - including the one my and many other families live one. To put it mildly, it's not a priority issue.

We're not getting very far with the Road Safety Emergency if the cops are collectively parking on the zig zags.

A street in Birmingham City Centre to the reverse of the Library of Birmingham. There is a controlled pedestrian crossing with zig-zag markings on the road. There are three Police cars parked on the pavement illegally adjacent to the zig-zag markings.

Really enjoyed this opportunity to spend a few days around all these interesting people. Plus Ghent is a really inspiring model of what cities can do to enable more equitable mobility.

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.
