“Go do the right thing because you will save lives.”
“Traffic violence is a public health crisis.” - Paula Flores, former International President of the Institute of Transporation Engineers. #NCBikeSummit
Congrats to @CityofAsheville on its Silver Level Walk Friendly Community status! Lucy Crown is here at the #NCBikeWalkSummit in Raleigh to accept the award. Claudia Nix and Tristan Winker are here representing our Bike/Ped Task Force. We’re all missing @barbmee! #AVLNews
Last night at dinner, Carey and I talked about how even the best engineering can’t fix stupid (or the narcissistic belief that your needs rise above everything else). apple.news/AtvcEU-LvTnmIt…

@PaperMonuments installation in NOLA - challenging how we think about monuments and whose story gets told (or doesn’t) in our public spaces. Check them out. #walkbikeplaces
MAGA lesson from Chef Tunde Wey-Economic growth doesn’t solve for disparity. A city that can’t afford to house its workforce is undermining its economic growth. If we are looking for diverse communities then we have to create parity in access/capacity.” #WalkBikePlaces
NOLA Mayor LaToya Cantrell: “Progress comes when you invite every one to the table...Focus on people because they matter...Ensure again that we are working together so people feel the changes that are coming will impact their lives as well.” #WalkBikePlaces @mayorcantrell
Great idea from the #WalkBikePlaces conference - all the revenue from the (many!) mobile conference tours will stay in the community and go toward equity and mobility work in NOLA. Good job, @PPS_Placemaking for answering the @BikeEasy call for equity in conference planning!
Hey Asheville friends - Check out these two organizations: @bigcar and @SpringboardArts (readygoart.com) - both groups are doing great things to help artists live in their cities. Lots for us to think about. #WalkBikePlaces
@ionagreenway Bummer!! It won’t be nearly as fun without you.
That time when you’re out exploring NOLA and you run into a group taking a tour of the latest @bikeeasy pop-up demonstration project, Connect the Crescent (bit.ly/2xgOaZ0). A great way to ease into #bikewalkplaces.
FSP & @TrafficPD served up some good planning at the @cityofgreenwoodsc Traffic Calming Study kickoff. Look at all those maps, post-its, and participating people! Looking forward to spending more time with these folks as we identify strategies for a safe and connected Uptown.
Just....wow. Wonder how much of our urban land is dedicated to roads and parking. How does America use its land? apple.news/AO32F8UDySD6nj…
Today we gathered with Asheville staff to kick off the Swannanoa Greenway planning process, which will eventually connect the Thompson St. area to the WNC Nature Center. We are thrilled to be teamed with Equinox Environmental, @TrafficPD, and others. Lots of fun is ahead!
News flash: Santa’s real home is in Kingsport, TN, birthplace of The Santa Train. Famous people have been tossing toys and candy for 75 years as the train makes its way from Eastern KY, through VA, down to Kingsport. bit.ly/2M7wsgT #capturekingsport #highfivesanta
Took my multi-modal commuting to the next level with my first Brompton on the bus commute to South Asheville for an afternoon of greenway planning work with Asheville’s @TrafficPD ladies. @BromptonBicycle #bromptononbus #excuseforanewbike #RideART
