Latest thread from a project I've been working on the last couple weeks: @CarsDontFitJC 👇
Journal Sq to Liberty State Park 200 cars & 4 buses, stuck in traffic 200 drivers could fit on 4 buses This is a failed transportation system. Bus and bike lanes have 5-10x more capacity & 5-10x less emissions, noise, pollution, violence, and cost (citations follow 🧵👇)
NJ’s 2 biggest cities are ≈6mi apart, and connected by several bridges, all of which are highways, none of which are safely passable by foot, bike, or other mobility devices. @GovMurphy @Teepeea2Diane
1 Lincoln Tunnel bus lane moves 10x as many people as 3 car lanes 6 lanes → 2 at Holland Tunnel = a fraction the trips as each PATH tube @GovMurphy @Teepeea2Diane are engineering a historic transportation+climate disaster, spending $10BNs widening highways + building 0 transit
Today’s decision by @USDOT to allow New York’s congestion pricing plan to move forward is unfair and ill-advised. I support congestion pricing conceptually, but it must be fair to all sides. Placing an unjustified financial burden on hardworking New Jersey commuters is wrong.
I biked the NYC Marathon route yesterday, before the race (along with ≈1000 others) youtube.com/watch?v=8YZvAm…

Notes from @NewJerseyDOT @saferoads4allnj "Safety Summit" saferoadsforallnj.com Several mentions of a "Zero Fatalities by 2050" campaign…
The Brooklyn Bridge carries half as many people as it did in 1902, because personal automobiles are the worst way to move people
Rode Coles PBL yesterday, looks great, emailed City about extending from 14th to 12th youtube.com/watch?v=q7iktB… Should only require paint; Coles narrows 12th to 10th, so PBL is more difficult there, but 12th St underpass to Monmouth would be a reasonable end for Coles PBL, for now

Jersey City + Hoboken Citi Bike data, July 2022: ctbk.dev/#/?r=jh 📈 New all-time monthly high: 108,111 rides 📈 25% avg YoY growth over ≈6 years 📈 32% increase July 2021 to July 2022
Street parking in JC is >99% subsidized: - avg market rate: $3,000 / year - residential permit: $20 / year 60,000 on-street spaces = $200MM/yr subsidy of car ownership. This is terrible policy / socializes costs of car ownership (Source: JC Parking Plan jerseycitynj.gov/residentresour…)
Beyond embarrassing that the NJ Senate signed on to this bill, while NJ is experiencing a surge in traffic violence github.com/bikejc/njsp @mayorstack @SandraBCunningh you should be ashamed of this vote.
Citi Bike usage in JC+Hoboken has avg'd 23% annual growth for 6yrs ctbk.dev/#/?r=jh (Hoboken launched May 2021, shows demand for expansion of network) In JC alone, April 2021 to 2022 increased 62% Easy to miss cyclists bc they're smaller, quieter, & not stuck in traffic

Why parking is even worse than you thought. Cities around the world are abolishing parking requirements🚗🅿️. Toronto 🇨🇦 is just the latest. But why?!👇 Parking requirements - a thread🧵
