We can all use a heart warming story right now.

Today, I went back to my roots and bussed into work as part of #WeekWithoutDriving.
It's important that we take the time to step back from the convenience of driving and understand the barriers that nearly a third of non-driving Americans face.

In an incisive piece in @NEXTpittsburgh, @rmhladio quotes @ErokEric of @BikePGH: “You can’t expect that everyone’s going to go to the next intersection when their destination is directly across the street.” Cities may “encourage jaywalking so that cars are forced to slow down.”

🚲 Ride like the wind, @boazf! Even though the weather has turned kind of rainy, @BikePGH hosted Bike to Work Day . Our own bicycling enthusiast made his way to the station on his own bike.

Started the day off right with a quick bike ride to Market Square with @pogohbikes & @bikepgh as part of its Bike to Work Day event!
To build a city where all of our residents feel safe and welcome, we have to meet them where they are & walk (or ride) a few miles in their shoes.

We're so excited for this project that will better protect users of the Penn Ave bike lanes by preventing vehicles from parking in it!
Please be patient and safe during construction - there's a lot of moving parts for a project like this, especially when the street remains open
Updates are coming to Penn Ave. from Point State Park to 11th St.!
The mobility project includes enhancements to the bike lane, as well as to the parking and loading lane. The result will be a safer experience for all road users.

“PLEASE delete any mention of a recommendation to develop … any regulation,” wrote the DOT supervisor after meeting with trucking industry lobbyists in 2018.
“An industry standard is acceptable, but no mention of ‘regulation.’” propublica.org/article/dot-r…

Just stop and think about this for a minute — what if YOUR city transformed a key main street this coming summer (like Montreal did with #MontRoyal, actually one of TEN such street transformations last summer) into a 2.5km long pedestrian promenade & living room with 2700 seats?
Very poor pavement all along Friendship Ave between Winebiddle and graham @Pgh311
Bike lane line markings are very faded on Negley between Rippey and East Liberty Blvd @Pgh311
