I wonder how long these special edition LA Metro maps will stay up. Also, can I have one when they‘re taken down?

New fare gates have been installed at the 7th St/Metro Center station!

I'm going to say something politically contentious: "high quality" is higher quality.

My city put together this awesome map of public art: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v.... So many pieces I had never seen before. What's the wackiest one you can find? #art #publicart #santabarbara

Do you wish you had ridden the first train ever into LAX?
Well I did! And I filmed it so you could come along too:

I can't stop looking at this poster.

A look down the newly-viewable tunnel toward Wilshire/La Brea from the Wilshire/Western stations! We’ll be riding in that tunnel soon people!

Just spotted an archaic use of the word “for” outside a coffee shop.

What was Qanat? How did it work?

We shall use our bikes, emitting less carbon, and preserving good air quality while creating little noise pollution. This will create beautiful urban spaces for all"

I think we need like an urbanist equivalent to this quote: Cities will preserve the country; I shall live near my office, walking distance to a coffee shop; my secretary will also live nearby and sometimes I will run into her at that coffee shop. We shall both have our own bike...

Sully @sullyville.bsky.social · Jul 22

We shall use up tires, wear out road surfaces and gears, consume oil and gasoline. All of which will necessitate a great deal of work … enough for all. —LE CORBUSIER, THE RADIANT CITY (1967)”

“The cities will be part of the country; I shall live 30 miles from my office in one direction, under a pine tree; my secretary will live 30 miles away from it too, in the other direction, under another pine tree. We shall both have our own car... —LE CORBUSIER (1967)”

We filled an entire parklet!
They say no one supports more bike lanes...but then a bunch of urbanists meet and use every outdoor chair at a restaurant and there's still not enough.
Way to go, Strong Towns Santa Barbara!

Checking out the new D Line stations from the bus thst I will stop riding once the D Line opens!

Sometimes you start with a "ville" and end up with a whole "town."

Sully @sullyville.bsky.social · Jul 14

The mark of a good local urbanists meeting: you fill up the entire parklet.

Ok, can someone explain this?
The sign said the next train to NoHo was in 16 minutes, but it pulled in 6 minutes after I took that picture. As the train pulled in, the other sign said the next train was in 8 minutes—even though it was right there!

Sully @sullyville.bsky.social · Jul 8

Bike (*?) on the train. Oh yeah!

Anyone else in a Reformation-type mood today?

As someone who had environmental stewardship pounded into my head throughout elementary school, it feel weird to say this: it’s great that environmental review has gotten out of the way of urban multi family development in CA!

Newsom pushes major housing reform through California Legislature

Gov. Gavin Newsom tied the state budget to the passage of policy to lessen environmental review standards to speed up the construction of housing in California.

A lost era is still sometimes visible in Downtown LA.

The look on the dog’s face when I show him the dog toy store is closed.
