- The people of Penn Station are crying out for seating. Why wonโt you heed their call, @Amtrak? ๐ญ
- Trucks this big donโt belong in cities. Tax vehicles based on weight and dedicate that money to the infrastructure they destroy.
- Transportation planning in Texas is having to walk 1.4 miles in 97 degree heat and cross a 12-lane highway to get to the strip mall across from your hotel.
- City officials when you ask them to expand public transit service:
- The highway through the heart of my city hasnโt turned a profit in years. Please investigate, @CBSNews.
The U.S. Postal Service is in the midst of a 10-year plan aimed at erasing losses and eventually turning a profit. But in its last fiscal year, the agency reported a loss of $6.5 billion, a major step backward. cbsn.ws/3sxTat0 - In Europe this courtyard would be full of greenery and maybe a playground for residents, but in America itโs just storage for three cars. ๐

- Last week I got the chance to visit the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in modern day America. Come with me as I explore @culdesac โ a 17-acre oasis of walkable living in the otherwise sprawling, car-dependent metropolis of Phoenix. ๐งต
