Three cheers to Flagstaff for––as of a few minutes ago––becoming the first city in Arizona (and maybe the entire southwest?) to legalize fourplexes on every residential lot citywide. And congrats to Flagstaff for Affordable Housing & @azneighborhood.bsky.social for leading the charge!

Arizona Neighborhood Project@azneighborhood.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Last year the #azleg passed HB2721 to require cities to allow #middlehousing around their central business districts. Last night the Flagstaff P&Z commission approved a plan to apply the middle housing law citywide! Thank you Flagstaff for taking a lead in addressing the state’s #housingcrisis.

My citizen petition asks for hi-vis crosswalks citywide. But @cityofphoenixaz.bsky.social claims they don't have the budget. They actually do - T2050 funding - an annual multi million $$ budget dedicated to transportation & pedestrian safety. youtu.be/UcjusSBUGoo?...

The footage is spot on to the daily chaos of the Phoenix reverse lanes. And the city thinks digital signs will fix the problem 🙄 How about no highway style streets in urban cores?!

What do you think of reverse lanes? Keep them, or is it time for them to go?

For decades, the reversible lanes on 7th Avenue and 7th Street have been a daily frustration for drivers, a danger to pedestrians and cyclists, and a barrier to local businesses. Learn more about reverse lanes and how you can join the movement to end them: shorturl.at/ZJMQM

NASA does a disservice here by excluding the acres and acres of non-road pavement that truly exacerbate this problem — surface parking lots. Zoom into the hottest parts of this map and you’ll see plenty of parking. We’re probably not gonna get rid of roads, but we can stop mandating parking lots.

Roads and sidewalks in some areas get so hot that skin contact could result in second-degree burns.

Join us on Wednesday, May 7th at 12 PM PT for a provocative discussion exploring the intersection of urban design and gender equity with: - Anna Zivarts, author of When Driving Is Not an Option - Paula Tovar, Architect and Urbanist at UNStudio - Ann Cheng, PRN Board Member lu.ma/2yye8g46

“…beyond intentional attacks, drivers in cars, SUVs and trucks threaten the safety of our public spaces everyday but we treat the damage they do like the weather: something inevitable that just happens.”

Shawn Micallef: Vehicles have become weapons by design — and public space is in their crosshairs

A culture like ours weaponizes vehicles — from the way they are designed to the way the roads they run on are designed.

I love cars man great stuff out here

MUST READ: Exclusionary zoning practices continue to keep Phoenix racially segregated. This is a CHOICE made by policymakers. “The question is: Will we allow history to keep repeating itself, or will we demand justice for the communities that continue to pay the price for Phoenix’s progress?”

OPINION | Phoenix remains a city deeply shaped by segregation, where privilege dictates who gets to stand their ground and who is displaced

Frustrating interview. This is the result of the League & City of Phoenix influence 👿. Plus the AZCAPTIMES has put out biased NIMBY leaning stories on AZ housing bills. Unfortunate to say the least 😕 azcapitoltimes.com/news/2025/04...

Used to anti-bike hate from right wing accounts. But it hits different coming from accounts on here that are otherwise wall-to-wall affirmations of various progressive allyships but can't understand the power dynamics btw people inside vs outside of cars because they only drive #safestreets #bikesky

My whole life has been, “democrats are better at equity/environmental/climate stuff, and republicans are better at the economy” but there’s honestly never been anything republicans are good at, certainly not the economy
