The chatter that keeps circling back
Thank you, support for all things MyWHaT is appreciated.
Chatter from the Tumblr and Beyond
- The free market approach to raising the cost of parking (TCDailyPlanet)is discussed in Minneapolis and Henry discusses how cheap parking encourages cruising (Essays) and a Jeffery Tumlin interview reminds us how free parking is like free ice cream (MY).
- Winter bike haikus are flowing in Ann Arbor (GetDowntown) Personal favorite by Bo Zhu:
Ride a bike to work
The only thing you will miss
Will be NPR
- MDOT, claiming it’s broke, still pushing forward on $1.8 billion expansion of a 6.7 mile stretch of highway in Detroit (Metrotimes). Public shaming encouraged.
- Speaking of induced demand, a reminder that traffic is not like water (RE), it’s more like gas (MW). We’ve discussed it before here & here (Hinge).
- How did the walking environment get so bad in the U.S.? (SwitchBoard) We use to think nothing of a 10-15 minute walk (SmartSet)
@JeffSpeckAICP can I hit favorite five more times! This. Comes. Up. Every. Time. Ya basta!
