Good to know. I've called but didn't stick around to find out.

Then, don't be surprised when progressives don't vote for your candidate.

You could report it to PPA, but I doubt they'd ticket cops.

Not saying you should. I don't even drive. I'm just saying that's what people here do.

Yeah, this graphic does nothing to address the design or drivers who don't look before opening the door.

I'm not necessarily talking about increased surveillance, although I do think cameras help people who haven't covered their plates stay accountable. You can always advocate in the email for more traffic calming, bike lanes, lead pedestrian signals at intersections, and other redesigns that improve safety.

Not trying to be snarky or anything, but how does the current format make it hard to respond?

That's why I included PennDOT. I only included OTIS because they still have the authority to work on intersections where Broad intersects a city-owned road.

Was it while filling up? That's stupid. Otherwise, if people are running in and out and have a passenger (not too young or old) in the car, they'll leave it running.

Yes, but the whole idea of pushing people to the margins and saying you're not the other guy is what has led to the disenfranchisement that gave rise to Trump as well as the apathy in the general population.

"Taking advantage" of a tragedyInfrastructure gore

What sucks about advocating for safe street design on urban thoroughfares is that it seems like you have to wait til someone gets killed, and then you have to "strike while the iron is hot" to get anything done. Most of the residents in the city know the street is dangerous and hate using it, but the anger and outrage isn't there unless there has been a recent fatality. A couple of days ago, a pedestrian was killed trying to cross the 700 block of Broad Street in Philly. Residents have been saying this street is a mess, but all the city has done is agree to install speed cameras in the future and put in a few pedestrian islands. That's it. No bike lanes, road diets, daylights, or lead pedestrian intervals. It's a 4 lane stroad where people frequently speed. I'm putting up flyers all over the area to get an email blast going to our office of transportation, our councilmember, PennDOT, and our state reps. It sucks that it feels like I'm taking advantage of a tragedy, but this street needs a serious redesign. It's a high injury network road.

The left didn't try to overturn an election. Yes, people on the left have killed people, and in every case where the intended target was a politician or government official, their political rivals had no ties to it and never condoned it.

I ride with a low seat. It's fine. Even our local pro bono bike repair place in Philly tells people at their workshops to ride in a seat position that makes you feel comfortable because, when you're commuting, you're riding it every day and aren't just riding for speed.

In my experience as a bicyclist with a lot of friends who bike, the line between recreational and commuter is very blurry. Those of us who commute by bike will also hit up local trails on our days off. Plus, there are competitive cyclists who also commute by bike or at least see the value in designing infrastructure so that people can commute by bike. People who don't bike at all are often the ones most likely to have this black and white view of biking. At least, this is my experience in a city. My experience in the suburbs was different. Even the bike shop owners were surprised when I told them I went grocery shopping with my bike.

I'm a progressive in a battleground state, and I think both of you are right and wrong.

  1. I don't think the DNC pushed Bernie and Yang out. Yes, a lot of the things Bernie pushed for were popular but maybe not as a whole package. For example, just because someone supports Medicare for all doesn't mean they support his other proposals and vice versa. There are plenty of Democrats who aren't far left.

  2. You can't expect progressives to vote for the Democrats if the Democrats won't listen to progressives. Touting your candidate as "not Trump" only works for so long and isn't a politically viable strategy long-term. Eventually, progressives will start voting for other candidates, and, if Republicans don't splinter as well, they would be guaranteed to win.

Are you suggesting that saying you'll move and that he's not your president is as bad as trying to overturn the election and killing people?

As a bicyclist, I actually like single lane traffic circles. I haven't walked them, but they're easy on a bike.

I bike to and from that Aldi to get my groceries, and I hate it. There's no good way to get through it, and impatient drivers have cursed me out and told me to bike into oncoming traffic. I wish they'd at least do some traffic calming there. Better yet, add protection for people walking and biking there.

This is from a company called The Rounds, as you can see on his shirt. They operate in a few US cities. In fact, I think this might be Philly. The neighborhood looks like it could be.

I get you. I used to vote Green, and I probably would again if the options didn't include someone who wants to be a dictator. I think voting within the binary up to this point allowed the two parties to run whoever tf they wanted because they knew they'd be guaranteed a large vote with less competition. Now that we have a really shitty choice, it feels like there's too much at stake not to vote for Biden. But yeah, like I said, if you see each candidate as equally bad, like I did before 2016, vote third party and sign petitions to get more parties on the ballot.

Idk how well it's enforced because people illegally modify them to go above 20mph.

Philly does meet your criteria on that list. Get out and make some new friends. If you're into dancing or biking (commuting and recreationally), there are active scenes to get involved in.
