But can I give big honorable mentions to this year's newest sidewalk bump-outs to preserve larger trees and “floating”/“peninsula” bus stops?

Hard to pick just one, but I think the Washington St. project prompted the biggest change in my habits—from going out of my way to avoid biking on some parts to getting excited when my route could take me on the new bike lanes! Looking forward to the West Broadway project doing the same next year.

One of the themes of our new police state is the sheer lack of professionalism. They can't do the basics, and when challenged, double down. A dysfunctional organizational culture deeply suspicious of the society they are tasked with controlling.

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern.

They had misidentified the intern.
The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

“Cycling on a shoulder of a 50mph zone (where drivers are doing 5-10mph over) while being a couple of feet away from the cars that don't care to give proper spacing to cyclists. Definitely what we needed; thanks Milwaukee 🙄”

“Safer for who exactly? Not cyclists certainly.”

“What bike accommodations? All I see is a 50mph sign and a shoulder, that can't possibly be it because that would be malpractice and embarrassing to call that safe for bike riders. Maybe you forgot to include a picture of it?”

“Are the bike accommodations in the room with us?”

“Did you guys forget to post the new pictures?”

“Maybe a gravel bike.”

“Please consult with the public and bicycle advocacy groups in the future when designing ‘bike accomodations’. This is a fundamentally unsafe design.”
