This cupola was originally on top of the dome of the Fresno County Courthouse, which was demolished in 1966. Still mad about it.

Let’s build these babies everywhere!

BTW, they’re legal in Fresno, CA. Who wants to partner with me to build some? LFG!

Sorry if you’re trying to work and this is distracting, but the Helm Building’s facade was looking particularly radiant today.

I'm sure people in other cities see me walking around taking pictures like crazy and confidently identify me as a tourist, not knowing that I do exactly the same thing in my own town. For example, these random pictures that I took yesterday on my way to the bank... #touristinyourowntown

They nailed it! We’ve known about this for a long time. Here’s another good one: youtu.be/cUTWDhWrnDU?...

A photo of parking in downtown St Louis, there's a ton of it, lots of parking everywhere.

Imagine thinking there's a nefarious plot to get you not to own a car instead of the opposite.

America has a thing called Trunk or Treat where people dress up, drive to a parking lot, and pretend it's ok we don't have walkable communities anymore.

What’s wrong with speed humps?

Nothing really. Speed humps are…fine.

But they’re not the most effective intervention, can’t be installed on bus routes, and don’t reclaim any space from vehicles.

The car next to the bike lane isn’t moving. It’s a parking-protected bike lane.

We had a great time at the Fulton Street Party yesterday. There was a ton of great food and live music, and it is always nice to run into all of my Downtown friends (and to make new ones!).

We had a great workshop for the Tower District Specific Plan yesterday. Huge attendance , positive vibes, and a lot of great ideas. Tower folks love their neighborhood and are willing to put in the work to enhance it. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Norway has one of the lowest crash death rates in the world, with fatalities dropping ~50% in the last decade.

I asked a senior Norwegian transportation official what role car technology has played enhancing safety.

Her answer: "None. We focus on road design and enforcement."
