How’s this going to work on Market Street in an arena with no plaza or outdoor gathering space?inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-…
Philly has one of the highest bike commute %s of US cities. Philly has also installed essentially no curb protected bike lanes. All of the other top 10 largest US cities do better than Philly. Philly's only peer is Dallas. A thread of some cities that do better:
Many charter schools have the ability to selectively admit students in ways which neighborhood public schools cannot. Even then, the median Philly charter school has a lower % of students who scored at least proficient in PSSA math in 22-23 than median Philly public school. 🧵1/
Is there yet a traffic-calming measure that can tame Philly drivers?

Thread: I don’t get outraged easily, but @Columbia’s decision to call NYPD to arrest 108 protestors was unconscionable. It raises troubling questions about the university's leadership and even more important moral questions: How should we deal with dissent and disagreement?
i HATE this. why are people privatizing sanitation???
This would be disappointing, we just got this bike lane.. it connects 22nd to city hall. Many people (including me) use it to get to work
It’s just awful to allow the demolition of Philly’s Colonial-era buildings simply because the long-time owners can make more money tearing them down.

This fall, I got an e-mail from a guy named JM Simpson who'd read things I'd written about homelessness. He mentioned he was a photojournalist in Olympia and that he'd been photographing the unhoused population there. He wanted to share some work with me . . . (1)

This is deeply disturbing for Philadelphia schools. And for Philadelphia. I don’t always agree with Joyce Wilkerson, but she is a public servant with integrity. And she is the board member most responsible for the Board *aggressively* fighting for fair school funding.

Wow: the Archdiocese of Baltimore is proposing to slash the number of parishes from 61 to 21, closing several dozen historic churches. Incredible stat: in a city that was once home to 250,000 Catholics, total weekly church attendance is now about 2,000. baltimoresun.com/2024/04/14/pro….

Basketball courts + white flowering trees is a great vibe.
It only gets worst bc tickets will already be more expensive at a downtown arena. The second hand market will be wild. It prices a fan base out.
How’s this going to work on Market Street in an arena with no plaza or outdoor gathering space?inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-…
@bigseb31213 @IngaSaffron I'm confused. Those look like pictures of people celebrating on the plazas around MSG. That's exactly the sort of thing (plazas around the stadium) that the designs for Philly don't have and @IngaSaffron is calling for. You're agreeing?
@IngaSaffron @criticalurban Inga, Bobby/CritUb does not believe what he is saying
@DPearsonPHL @IngaSaffron Doesn't matter what they want or believe. It's what public safety will deem necessary at the time.
There's lots of unspoken kinks that 76er developers aren't mentioning about proposed stadium a few blocks east of City Hall.😳
How’s this going to work on Market Street in an arena with no plaza or outdoor gathering space?inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-…
@DPearsonPHL @IngaSaffron I produce festivals with live nation. I'm telling you, the roads will get closed.
@DPearsonPHL @IngaSaffron There was a video of a crowd swarming the Wilt statue and putting Knicks jersey on it. Given that, it’s a safe assumption there was other activity happening.
@DPearsonPHL @IngaSaffron The volume of activity will warrant road closures. They might not need to close the streets during load in, but during blow out? Definitely
@IngaSaffron @DPearsonPHL More than just ticket holders and fans show up to events.
@IngaSaffron @DPearsonPHL Philly has never dealt with sports exuberance in the street, let alone during a playoff game.
@IngaSaffron Maybe the Knicks can help finance it

Philly has one of the highest bike commute %s of US cities. Philly has also installed essentially no curb protected bike lanes. All of the other top 10 largest US cities do better than Philly. Philly's only peer is Dallas. A thread of some cities that do better:
Philly's new Council Pres. supports the incompetent Sheriff & tries to fire the uber competent school Board member. Will the new Council members let him get away with it? @PHLCouncil inquirer.com/opinion/cartoo… via @PhillyInquirer
Here in Philly the South St. bridge carries significantly less car traffic, is wider, and carries comparable bike traffic (1k+ daily). But in Philly city and state leaders have installed no bike lane protection and have allowed the existing paint to fade away in spots.
I’m old enough to remember 2-years ago when some people lost their damn minds over the installation of the Mass Ave Bridge bike lane. And now… 🌞 🚲 🏃🏻 🚌 🚗 🐕
Many charter schools have the ability to selectively admit students in ways which neighborhood public schools cannot. Even then, the median Philly charter school has a lower % of students who scored at least proficient in PSSA math in 22-23 than median Philly public school. 🧵1/
