Finally finished reading Alaska, by James Michener! A tale of epic proportions like all of Micheners work, but I particularly love many of the natural settings in this one. His stories always get me eager to learn some actual history!

In the latest example of how car owners' windshield perspective distorts their reality, a self-styled Lower Manhattan business group is claiming that congestion pricing is already a complete “disaster.”

Shops in Lower Manhattan claim they're losing business in a survey full of hearsay. None of the customers Streetsblog spoke to drove to shop.

Space reclaimed from a couple of parking spots to make an intersection safer, add bike parking, a rest area, and a counter flow bike lane. Beautiful!

I decided to take the train for a business trip while my coworkers each drove separately. I would much rather get to relax read, and watch a beautiful sunset than be stuck in traffic. Always check if the train is a possibility for your next trip!

Policymakers in Los Angeles have been using "crisis" rhetoric on housing for decades, with little to show for it. In the aftermath of the fires, what can we learn about rebuilding from other cities? I provide comment in another great @emmbadger.bsky.social piece. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

Parking protected bike lanes are cheaper than concrete and at a minimum just require paint, but so many jurisdictions just refuse to use them. Why?

Delayed train? Just an opportunity to explore! During a recent trip, our train was delayed by a couple of hours. If this were a flight, we'd be stuck in the airport, but because it's a train, it just meant that we got to explore Flagstaff for a couple hours!
