Here at the @TaskarCenter for the #OpenThePaths conference. Gotta love accessibility and pedestrian data to improve decisions for accessible improvements in the ROW! I’ll say I majored in GIS way back when but lordy are there some great minds addressing how to improve these data!

In honor of playoff hockey time and garden season, as the great one once said, you can’t grow 100% of the seeds you don’t plant.
New study finds that exurban residents drive more and walk less than those living closer to central cities -- and they have higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, and other cardio risks. Land use, transportation, and health are inextricably linked. doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.…
Family in NJ are okay. Between the wildfire smoke last summer and now an earthquake, things I was concerned with moving to the PNW is being felt back in my home state.

Holy shit I had to think if it was April’s fools or not this is so tragic for Baltimore and the region. Key Bridge is a bypass for I-95 traffic that can’t go in tunnel. Scary stuff.

LEADERSHIP
Why is there not more of a discussion around accessible pedestrian signals (APS) when discussing leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs)? Just casting aside 5-10% of the population with vision disabilities in the name of safety for the remaining 90-95% of the population?
We have 8 year old identical triplet boys conceived without IVF (imagine the surprise at the first sono, a good story if you ever ask me in person) and while I can’t say it’s been easy, my goodness has it been an awesome experience which I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Interest study in red light cameras back in Baltimore. Not as impactful to local folks as originally thought. The only 10% of citations to folks living within a mile. Cameras. Transit. Bike lanes. Boom safety benefits and mode shift! thebaltimorebanner.com/community/tran…

ADHD can make it difficult to answer texts promptly. I need to step away from distractions during work or I wind up on social media. But when I'm DONE working, texts have piled up (and I get overwhelmed). If you know this struggle, what strategies actually work for you? 🤔

I thought Gen X was going to be different but instead we're the most f'ing reactionary of all, it's so depressing.
... & regrets & failures for features of the world, just generally being a fuddy-duddy. I thought *all* young people were committed to that. So it is wild & incredibly disheartening to look around & see hordes of people my age & even younger just tromping down that path.

One big reason disability makes many uncomfortable is because we rely on others for help. We remind them that we need others to survive; that we can’t just individualize ourselves in every situation. Our country is so cut off from community and we remind them of the need for it.
Occasionally, someone refers to me as an “influencer.” Since my intention is definitely to influence better city-making, I probably wouldn’t mind that term if it wasn’t for the fact that most people commonly referred to as influencers have ruined the word for the rest of us.

Buses should matter to city planners, but they usually don't. Working with Ireland's National Transport Authority, we've just written the guidebook that they need. It's free. Read all about it: humantransit.org/2024/04/32037.…

Our children deserve freedom to move around without being driven by mommy. Mommy deserves freedom to work and not have to drive their child around everywhere. Grandma deserves to be able to go for a walk near their home to the grocery store and take a bus to see their friend.

I'm an #ADHD coach, and I also have ADHD, which is a real disability. I've been burnout-adjacent or maybe "slowly burning out" for awhile now and it's a weird thing to manage while also helping other people manage their own burnout and challenges associated with their disability.
