Just yesterday I had to explain to someone that you don't use the percent change formula when comparing numbers from two different companies.

Will Anderson's channel, primarily.

NDOT Pothole King™️ has crews out fixing them into the depths of East Nashville.

Chapeau, sir.

Current cross section on Woodland Bridge. It’s for a maintenance project but imagine this as a bikeway and protected sidewalk. Turn the third travel lane into a flex lane like JRP. We’d be cookin’

I’ve got $100 on no post-installation eval was done.

I’ve been getting Scrabble endgame strategy suggestions in my YouTube algorithm.

How should I feel about this?

I try not to attribute what can be explained by oversight, accident, or incompetence to malice, but sometimes the malice shoe fits.

Sorry. No, I meant the voter lists their top 3 issues. So you can get the voters perception of which CMs are good on topics.

Like, my top three issues would be:
Transportation, Housing, and Greenways

Then I rank the CMs and my top ones would assume good marks on those issues.

Yeah! For example!

Would be interesting if voters could tag/list their top-3 "issues" too, to gain context in which CMs are favorable on topics.

And he replaces the single most odious person on the TLC. What a win for the good guys!

Tonya’s been trying to get a ped bridge from EN Peeler to Ravenwood park the past few years.

She’s been working greenways for awhile

The Vision Zero Advisory Committee will be directing questions to @nashvilledot.bsky.social construction and operations team. Have something pestering your mind you think we should ask?

Please share here! 🦞

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!

96 by Pinkerton Park? I used to launch my potato cannon there in high school.

I understand your frustration, but please see @cbowe34.bsky.social post regarding the pedestrian *always* having the right of way.
Also, there simply was not a crosswalk anywhere near where this crash occurred.

All four have been posted to NashFatalCrash.com, along with over 1,000 other deaths on Nashville roadways since 2017.

Agreed. Unfortunately, while news orgs and journalists should do better, they’re just regurgitating what MNPD tells them.
I put the blame squarely on MNPD and no one else.

Lesson from today’s ACT meeting, the navigation button at the top of nashville.gov/transit is helpful! I had never noticed it on desktop

Gallatin Pike between Trinity and Briley kills more people each year than the entirety of Helsinki, Finland.

VZAC published a resolution last March asking for @nashvilledot.bsky.social and MNPD to coordinate on better language in their press releases. They've not done so. And thus, local news outlets victim blame.

Common theme: We need ours leaders to lead better.

"Police said this crash occurred outside of a crosswalk."
That's because THERE IS NO MARKED CROSSWALK at Virginia Ave.

@nashville.gov - MNPD should be saying that instead. That onus is on our infrastructure failure, not the pedestrian.

2/3

The attached news article from WSMV appears to include bad reporting:
"According to witnesses, the car was in the center turning lane before trying to cross the roadway."
This indicates to me the driver was NB in the center lane, waiting for SB traffic to clear to turn left onto Virginia Ave.

don't forget! also you can give here if you want givebutter.com/benches

Please check out my thread on the Cycling City account for ways I stay safe on the road!

Share your tips, too!

I've not found any information yet, but please tag me if you learn anything.

One of the coolest things I’ve experienced happened on my way home from the @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social event:
a bat discovered the swarm of bugs lit up by my headlight and spent about half a mile flying 40-50 feet ahead of me, picking them off one by one. 🦇

ISO a loaner wheelchair for a friend with a torn ACL. Send me a message if you have one lying around in a closet!

Yes.
