  2. Two photos of the first Northstar commuter train to run this morning in Minneapolis (via flickr search): http://is.gd/4WmW7
  3. "3 types of people: those who use transit, those who don’t, and those who can’t. The last group is too large." http://is.gd/4Wmbd
  4. SF is learning the same lesson we are: that other modes are sometimes better than Metro (or BART) http://bit.ly/1pF6OJ HT @ttpolitic
  5. DDOT considering cycle tracks on L an M too. http://bit.ly/3Wf3Av @DDOTDC
  6. @bogrosemary New London's staff being too stupid to write a long term contract doesn't make the law wrong.
  7. Sitting in 'table top' on CT Ave... The sort of store they just don't have in the suburbs.
  8. For all its chainy faults, chinatown still deserves a lot of praise. Not many US cities have a nightlife area that's ever so packed w/ peds.
  9. Just ran into some HS kids from rural Waynesboro VA taking pics of Arlington's "big buildings". Future urbanists of central VA?
  10. @whiteknuckled Oh I prefer the new CoHi too, but it's still ironic.
  11. Irony is a cruel mistress: An organic grocery store is currently under construction where this picture was taken. http://is.gd/4Uq28
  12. Thank SUVs RT @ryanavent Cars could have been 50% more efficient since 1980. Instead got bigger and heavier, lost 15%. http://bit.ly/2rLxCh
  13. At the particularly deep stations this is really not OK. RT @ggwash All 3 escalators out at Dupont north entrance, aargh! #wmata
  14. Never RT w/out adding your 2¢ is rule I follow, & why new RT function sucks. RT @IMGoph article for leaving RTing alone http://is.gd/4TAqv
  15. GPS controlled "road trains" could be the ultimate cruise control for that drive along I-70 in Kansas: http://is.gd/4TzaB
  16. Like inclusion of downtown, call-out for express routes, hate that all routes are same color. RT @ggwash: Metro changed bus map format.
  17. 1958 "highways of the future" dream video, by Disney. My, what we've learned in 50 years. http://is.gd/4S51V
  18. Local gas tax rates: DC=22.5 cents/gallon. MD=23.5c/g. VA=17.5c/g. DC last adjusted in 2004, MD&VA in 1992
  19. Rumor mill suggesting mcdonnell's secretary of transportation will be a 'privatize & toll everything' guy. No facts, just rumor
  20. our entire civilization is over-housed and over-parked due to gov't interference w/ the market. http://is.gd/4RQMM
