Lesson from Paris in building bike infrastructure: Just build it. No multi-year studies. No perfection in design. Not even pilot projects. Just build, adapt, evolve.
electric vehicles are still vehicles. they take up too much space in the city and building EV charging stations is not helping the fundamental issue of too much infrastructure built for cars and not enough for people.
A monumental step in continuing the fight against climate change – and we're making sure MPLS does its part. That's why my 2023/2024 budget supports a new full-time tree coordinator, expands EV stations across the city, invests in the Green Cost Share program, and more.
Next month I am traveling from NYC to Chicago, the 3rd busiest air route in the country, which takes 19.5 hours via Amtrak on a daily train. This is the same distance as Beijing to Shanghai, which takes only 4.3 hours and leaves every 20 minutes. This country can do better.
This is how you build a new corner apartment building well. Cities around the world could learn a lot from DC!
Our former President called for me to be sent back to Somalia, a country I haven’t lived in since I was 8yrs old and the crowd chanted “send her back. My primary opponent said I don’t live in Minneapolis and people believed him. Oz isn’t getting the Ilhan treatment, trust me.
Democrats will say no, no we're just messing with New Jersey. But they would see the problem if the campaign was being run against, say, Ilhan Omar.
The Canadian leg of my recent flight required passengers to wear masks and they did. The US leg of the same trip (with many of the same ppl) did not require it and most didn’t. Reject the notion that public health must bend to what people will do anyway. It can lead.
lighter than concrete, more fire-resistant than steel, strong enough to support an eighteen-story skyscraper: mass timber is the most solarpunk shit imaginable-- it's also an interesting study in what green industry actually means. a thread.
If MPD was really "after the guns" they would be camped out at these suburban gun dealers, following these guns into the city, they would be leading the politic of gun control. They are not. They are not after the guns, they are after the niggas with guns,
Wow! Just learned @Hennepin will receive $12M in funding for BRT improvements on Lake Street! Many thanks to @SenTinaSmith, @amyklobuchar and our entire federal delegation. Bring on the B-Line 🥳🚍
if you view yourself as a leftist but threaten running people walking and biking over with your car: you share those sentiments with fascists who dream of doing the same to you.
Why is it ok for me to have direct views from my condo's balcony to another balcony, but when it comes to having direct views to backyards it is simply unacceptable?
WHAT ABOUT CHERNOBYL? Chernobyl the accident shows that, even in a worst-case scenario, the health and environmental risks of nuclear are small. Chernobyl the cultural phenomenon shows how dangerous nuclear can be. Here’s what you need to know:
😂 our incompetent Mayor gets upset when we talk about his failures, but as the Mayor he is solely in charge of our city, it’s police & public safety. No matter how much media covers for him, people know our city is suffering because of his poor leadership and childish behavior.
Mayor Jacob Frey did not hold back in an interview with me tonight, after the pro-police democratic candidate he supported @DonSamuelsMN lost the fifth congressional race tonight to incumbent @IlhanMN . fox9.com/video/1103332
The more I read about public space the angrier I get that I have to store my bike in my small apartment when people get to store their huge ass vehicles for FREE on a public street
If you lost, by definition you did not get a majority. Incredible to watch everyone fall all over themselves to let the losing candidate frame the meaning of a race they lost.
"To come this close means we have our finger on the pulse of the exhausted majority," Don Samuels said in conceding defeat to Ilhan Omar. "We had to climb over the huge barrier of a DFL endorsement from a DFL that has lost touch with the voters.”
Ethiopian owned Sainaa Cafe just opened at Lake and Grand as well They are having a soft opening this week with a grand opening in a couple weeks
"To come this close means we have our finger on the pulse of the exhausted majority," Don Samuels said in conceding defeat to Ilhan Omar. "We had to climb over the huge barrier of a DFL endorsement from a DFL that has lost touch with the voters.”
It is quite interesting that Ilhan Omar beat back a well-funded right-wing opponent who had the full backing of the entire political machine of the mayor of Minneapolis, and rather this being portrayed as her victory, it’s is her pathetic failure for not winning enough.
