La movilidad en Vitoria (País Vasco)ya no depende del coche gracias a su infraestructura ciclista y al Transporte Público.
My favorite proposed Meadowlands trails access project is the long-standing plans to connect the Tonnelle Ave HBLR station to the Meadowlands Exposition Center and the surrounding commercial district. Increase HBLR access & ridership and provide a missing link between Secaucus and North Hudson.
Colleen Wilson@colleenonthescene.bsky.social · 6d agoDoes the Meadowlands have to be a bifurcated island of wetlands versus sports complex? The Regional Plan Association says no — and presents a vision for a walkable campus that improves flood resiliency, expands trails and connects it to surrounding communities. Is it feasible? More in my story.
Solidarity with folks in Boston. Keep up the pressure. For Louisa and for everyone.

New GAO report examines how driver blind spots endanger pedestrians and cyclists—and asks why USDOT has done nothing about it. www.gao.gov/products/gao...
Positive.News • WHO The GOOD NEWS: Past 15 yrs traffic deaths have decreased by 21%. The BAD NEWS: 1.1 MILLION PEOPLE were killed last year in traffic incidents. #1 cause of death among 5 - 29 year old Not tech or $$ issue: It's POLITICAL. The goal is ZERO. As Helsinki, Finland or Hoboken, NJ, USA
30 min headways on weekends is not a serious transit system. We need frequent 10 min headways. Sign the @hudcostreets.org petition for better light rail service! hudcostreets.org/hblr/action
"Drivers have killed 300 people in NJ this year so far, no transit has been built in decades, and NJ residents are billions in debt on their cars, but Nick Scutari and @njsendems have spent the last year kneecapping cheap/safe/ clean/quiet alternatives. Absolutely disgraceful, time to clean house."
We’re halfway through our 2026 ride season, and this Sunday we are going from one end of North Hudson to the other! We’ll ride south to the Hackensack Reservoir in Union City then head north and finish in Braddock Park. See you at 10:30am at Hamilton Park in Weehawken!

The project on the left is completely through environmental review and is approved to move into construction and the project on the right needs more environmental analysis, everything is working great.
The Republican war on science comes for road safety. Protected bike lanes, road diets, and automatic traffic enforcement prevent people from being killed. Researchers have proven this—repeatedly.
Wes Marshall@wesmars.bsky.social · 4w agoFHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures website continues to say that there are "28 countermeasures and strategies effective in reducing roadway fatalities & serious injuries"... but they now only list 23.

Officially reopened last month, Utrecht's Park Paardenveld has been reimagined as a climate-resilient, people-focused public space. While the park itself first emerged from the restoration of the Catharijnesingel, its redesign turns leftover urban space dominated by cars into a true community park.🧵
Useless Light Rail on July 4th weekend! Why isn’t there an alert in the NJ Transit app about no service? Why does the Transit app say there is MORE service? Yet, they are still playing @mikiesherrill.bsky.social announcement about how great this state is! 😡😡😡
Indeed, Hudson County ranks #5 nationwide among counties (after 4 NYC counties) in terms of share of commuters traveling to work by transit! www.thetransportpolitic.com/databook/us-...
@talyaschwartz.bsky.social · last mo.Four of the top 10 cities: Jersey City, Hoboken, West New York, and Union City are in Hudson County, population of 700K people, size and density of Boston. Large majorities are commuting to work via bus, light rail, and PATH, and there's so much more potential if we invest further!
So, is this bus coming at 9:10 or 9:15? This is really confusing for the customer. @customeradvocate.bsky.social
Vancouver, do you really want this to end when the #WorldCup does? It should just be the beginning. And not just for Granville Street.
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · last mo.NEW: “This isn’t cutting edge anymore. It’s just learning from our own successes & failures, and standing on the shoulders of smarter cities. Time to get it done.” My op-ed in today’s @vancouversun.bsky.social makes the case for a people-first Granville Street (& MORE streets) beyond the #WorldCup.
I have turned my @bunchbike.com into a mobile World Cup watch party. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but honestly, it seems like it could work pretty well.
This Sunday we'll begin at our usual starting point of Hamilton Park in Weehawken, ride up to Braddock Park, then head south to Union City, checking out the newly painted bike lanes in West New York along the way. See you at 11! ridewithgps.com/routes/55721...

After another large vehicle nearly took the life of a child, SafeStreetsJC Board Member Ashley Swiggett spoke at Council this week on the need for accelerated Vision Zero improvements: • Hard infrastructure • Narrowed lanes & 20 mph • Automated enforcement • Large trucks off residential streets
SafeStreetsJC@safestreetsjerseycity.org · 2mo agoA year has passed since the tragic traffic death of Eli Bender. Please join us for a vigil this Saturday, June 13th at 11 AM at Jersey Ave & 6th St to honor Eli's memory and to recommit to taking action and preventing any loss of life on Jersey City streets. @bikejc.org @hudcostreets.org
Tonight is the first World Cup games in the Meadowlands! Stay safe and plan extra time for travel ... and don't plan on walking like @mosesnyc.bsky.social did https://youtube.com/shorts/iALpJa3pFoc?si=5HxO3pmjJkBbh8b7
