Avant / Après Rue Montera dans le 12ème arrondissement de Paris. La place de stationnement handicapé a été conservée, les autres ont été remplacé par des arbres tout juste plantés en début d'année, et qui démarre donc leur vie dans la rue par des canicules à répétition.

I haven’t used it yet & don’t know that it’s been around long enough for me to have a well-formed opinion on the whole system, but a nice aspect of the Veo scooters that I’m seeing around is that the seat is long enough for (what appears to be) comfortable and safe dinking. Lots of kids using them
Yes. Excellent (chilling, enraging) thread here: bsky.app/profile/sund...
Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
The first conversation I ever had with City Councilor @wutrain.bsky.social was about biking in Boston. We were both waiting to pick up takeout sushi, and she had recently tried biking to work at City Hall. We shared how exposed you feel when a truck barrels by with only a line of paint between. 1x
As a crowd of hundreds mourned cyclist Louisa Gag, Mayor Michelle Wu addressed outrage over delayed infrastructure projects and pledged to improve street safety.
Chris Osgood, that’s who’s going to fix this mess? Seriously? He’s a political creature who will bend to the political whim of the day. Maybe I’ve been gone too long to understand the current landscape, but I have trouble accepting this as the administration’s best response.

Very surprised to see that Mayor Wu spoke at the vigil. I’m not on the ground, and don’t mean to second guess anyone, but after what she’s put the community through over the past year I would have advocated for excluding her.
Hoping folks from across the country (and world) will sign onto this petition to @wutrain.bsky.social. Many people believed her leadership could inspire change not only in Boston, but globally. Add your name before this is delivered to Mayor Wu on Thursday benjaminsiegel.github.io/enough-is-en...

I’m gutted reading all these tributes to Louisa Gag, and wishing strength to everyone in the Boston advocacy community who knew her.
Just posted at @walkuprozzie.bsky.social - initial thoughts on losing the incomparable Louisa Gag. walkuproslindale.org/weblog/2026/...
The report she co-authored almost a decade ago proposing concrete strategies to avoid entirely preventable killings like this: visionzeronetwork.org/wp-content/u...

A cycling advocate and transportation planner for the city of Boston was identified as the cyclist who was struck and killed in a crash near Roxbury Crossing this morning.
Dang, New Haven has built some very high quality separated bike infrastructure, with bioswales and bollards that will mess a vehicle up! I’m assuming this all happened under Doug Hausladen’s watch?
In New Haven for the @phnetwork.bsky.social conference and while walking off a Frank Pepe pie I came across this monster cycle track under construction on State St. It looks to be 10’ wide. Full-width street reconstruction is going to result in some kick ass infrastructure.
If this wasn’t my favorite account and an image like this came across my feed I’d just assume this is AI, because this is pure fantasy nearly everywhere. It’s also the sort of transformation that I envisioned @wutrain.bsky.social would shepherd in Boston.

With every passing year in Colorado (coming up on 8 years), I follow Boston issues a little bit less. Today I realized how out of touch I am and how long frustration has been brewing there. Lots of folks and communities were involved in @wutrain.bsky.social’s success but 🧵
No city that truly values public space, and believes that beauty should permeate the public realm would allow this.
Can someone back home explain to me what you think is going on here? What’s the consensus on why there’s been a backtrack from such a promising start? Seeing a dunk contest on one of my favorite people is incredibly depressing, but there’s obviously a lot of frustration.
After weeks of sharp criticism from city councilors and transit advocates over a slowdown in street infrastructure projects during her second term, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is defending her approach, saying she wants more community input and consensus.

As a bona fide parking nerd, I had to visit HdM’s 1111 Lincoln Rd today while staying in South Beach. I’ve gotta say, it’s pretty great!

Before (2023) / After (2026) the pedestrianization and greening of a big part of Place Félix Éboué in Paris’s 12th arrondissement. The difference will be even more striking once the trees have leaves ;)
Thank you to everyone who came out for the #AlexPretti memorial ride in Oakland today. It was a huge turnout, even more than shown here at Lake Merritt, as some people peeled off since the start at Rockridge BART. @bikeeastbay.bsky.social @ebbp.bsky.social

As the Co-Chair of the DOTI Advisory Board, I don’t take criticizing the Mayor lightly. But we just hit the highest number ever of people killed in traffic crashes in Denver, and it’s not a priority for Mayor Johnston. Something needed to be said. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/17/d...
Mayor Johnston, bowing to business interests and wealthy families, is moving Denver’s road safety backwards (Opinion)
During this latest budget crunch, when DOTI staff members were being laid off and safety projects went unfunded, the city found nearly $100,000 to replace a thoroughly vetted design to accommodate …

At the Denver @thewaroncars.bsky.social event and struck by how much this movement has grown since I first got sucked in 15+ years ago.
It appears the fascists have decided that NREL is now an oil and gas research lab.
