#Montreal 's just leap-frogged other cities in North America by opening the REM.
Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (100 km/h plus). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)
And really fun to ride...

It’s really not very complicated. You can buy studded tires for the price of wipers, fluid, oil change and tire rotation one time for a car. Nice infra makes biking entirely pleasant almost every day of the year.
Rode Hennepin into downtown this morning. There was some crunchy ice, a few rough spots, some annoying gusts of wind, but active clearing and studded tires made it rideable.

Rick Cotton is stepping down from the Port Authority. We need to pressure Hochul to appoint someone who cares about transit.

Something I've been thinking about a lot lately is how when a driver does something wrong, the public and media don't smear all drivers as reckless assholes. But when a cyclist — and especially an e-biker — does something wrong, all bicyclists get attacked and blamed.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

I had to go to a store on Bald Hill Road yesterday, so I took the bus(es). A total of 6 buses and a 4+ hour excursion for a trip that would have taken about an hour total with a car. If you ever want to feel like you're the least important person in the world, wait for a bus on Bald Hill Road.

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge
#Finland will begin to #Russia - proof its rail network, integrate with EU train infrastructure.
The Finnish government has announced the conversion of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to European standard (1,435 mm).

Checked out this new development just south of downtown Des Moines, which appears to be following some new urbanist tenets (separated sidewalk-level cycletrack, townhomes with sidewalk frontage, hidden parking structures).

Cars shouldn't be allowed within 500 feet of schools...
There is a crossing guard and a marked crosswalk with a stop sign in front of the school down the street and every week I watch people just blow through both when school lets out
also constantly parking in the marked bus drop-off spot

A driver hit an elementary school student with a car, 500 ft from Tulip Grove ES in Bowie, after school. The crosswalks at the intersection are unmarked. The principal asked parents to "discuss safety precautions with [their] child" & reminded "all families to please drive slowly & carefully."

Biking on narrow cobbled streets toward the main library in downtown Utrecht, past people walking, other bikes and cargo bikes, it's easy to imagine the city of centuries ago, and the city that will be, a century from now.

It's almost as if people are *somehow* already aware of their speed, and are affirmatively choosing to exceed the limit.
In today’s least surprising local news, speed display signs aren’t enough to make our roads safer.
Speed display signs only slow drivers down by 1km/h: Halifax report
Halifax has installed nearly 50 speed display signs around the municipality, but on average they only slow down drivers by less than one km/h, according to a new staff report.
